Document Summary

Digestion= food constituent elements absorption: 3 sources of energy lipids (fat, glucose (carbs, starch, sugar, amino acids (proteins, 3 types of energy storage, body fat most common, very efficient, glycogen most utilised (liver/ muscles, muscle proteins less used. Energy absorption: cephalic, absorptive, fasting, glucagon controls fasting. Insulin: promotes glucose use (cell uptake), energy conversions (to form that can be stored), promotes storage (glycogen, fat, proteins) Glycogen: adipose tissue free fatty acid (=body"s main fuel during fasting phase), fatty acids ketones (used by musles and brain: low insulin: glycogen + proteins glucose {(use in brain) gluconeogenesis} Positive incentive perspective: anticipated pleasure of a behaviour (eating) Instrinsic, previous experience, social context, time since last meal, blood glucose: physiological motivators can override behavioural motivators too full, behavioural motivators can override physiological motivators. Innate preferences and aversions (sweet, salty, bitter etc: learned individual conditioned, social what others eat, flavourless vitamins + minerals (no flavour) rat diet b1 deficieny, prefer new diet with.
