Regulation of metabolism and body temperature (january 28, 30; february 6, 11; david lohnes) 2. 1 review the metabolic pathways and their interactions. 6 classes of nutrients: carbohydrates, lipids proteins major. Vitamins, minerals, water minor: food pyramid: emphasis on reducing animal fats, restricting red meats, sweets, starch; 8 glasses of water a day; 30 mins exercise daily.

Lipids: saturated fats (meat, dairy, should be <30% of caloric, absorption of fat-soluble coconut, unsaturated fats (seeds, nuts, olive oil, cholesterol. & skeletal muscle: phospholipids for myelin sheaths and plasma membranes, fatty deposits, production of prostaglandins, steroids and bile.
