Document Summary

Regulation of metabolism and body nutrients: carbs, lipids, proteins, vitamins, minerals, water. Galactose and glucose will be converted to glucose via isomerization. Neurons and rbcs rely on glucose other cell types can use fats. Minor amt of sugars are used in nucleic acids, glycoproteins, glycolipids. If blood glucose is too high, excess is converted to glycogen (storage) in the liver and fat in adipose tissue. 45-65% total cal intake should be carbs. Unsaturated fats in seeds, nuts, olive oil. Liver can convert one fatty acid to another. Can"t do linoleic and linolenic acids that are essential fatty acids (means we have to consume them in our diet in order to receive their benefit) Triglycerides are major fuel of hepatocytes and skeletal muscle. Phospholipids are essential for myelin sheaths and plasma membranes. 100 grams a day for minimum blood glucose molecules levels.
