NTR 108 Lecture Notes - Lecture 6: Enriched Flour, Chromium Deficiency, Fatty Liver
Document Summary
Co2 formed: source from blood & intracellular protein, metabolism - 4 kcal/g. Aerobic - mitochondria (almost all can be converted to energy) Urea formed in liver: fatty acids, source from blood & cellular triglycerides, metabolism - 9 kcal/g. Aerobic - mitochondria: without glucose - some energy (atp) Ketones formed (ketogenesis) to help break down fat: with glucose - lots of energy formed (atp) Co2 formed: alcohol (ethanol) - 7 kcal. Coenzyme (organic non-protein compound that works with an enzyme) for energy metabolism. Plays a role in the synthesis of neurotransmitters: deficiency symptoms, beriberi. Due to alcohol excess: overall weakness, groups at risk, alcoholics (excess intake) - thiamin lost through liver, polished (white) rice as main food. Removal of germ helps with storage of rice. Same for wheat (white flour) - lost during processing then restored (only in us) Enriched flour: dietary sources, whole grains (with germ) Need s with an in physical activity.
