Document Summary

All carbs are not the same because of this. Results in a fast increase in blood glucose concentration. We want to get to glucose (mono) in the cvs. Does the food deliver lots of carbs? (%cho in terms of macronutrients) High gi means cho is easily broken down and absorbed (boiled potato, heat makes it easy to absorb) Ice cream has lots of fat which slows down cho absorption. Mixed macronutrient food slows down absorption of cho and decreases gi. Acts and is considered a hormone ((cid:548)nutrient storage hormone(cid:549)) Triggers other cells to take glucose out of the blood and store it. Tm = transmembrane (has 7 alpha helices) Tg lipase is a protein that breaks down triglyceride. High spikes and sustained levels of insulin such as fruits (looking only at gi, low %fat and %protein but then you get micronutrients and phytochemicals) Opposite to insulin is epinephrine + glucagon. To use fa, we need to undergo mobilization.
