Introduction
• Nutrition is the starting point and the basis for all human form and function– The source of fuel that provides energy for all biological
work
– The source of raw materials for replacement of worn-out biomolecules and cells
• Metabolism is the chemical change that lies at the foundation of form and function
![Page 3: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Nutrition
• Expected Learning Outcomes
– Describe some factors that regulate hunger and satiety.
– Define nutrient and list the six major categories of
nutrients.
– State the function of each class of macronutrients, the
approximate amounts required in the diet, and some major
dietary sources of each.
– Name the blood lipoproteins, state their functions, and
describe how they differ from each other.
– Name the major vitamins and minerals required by the
body and the general functions they serve.

![Page 4: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Body Weight and Energy Balance
• Weight—determined by the body’s energy balance
– If energy intake and output are equal, body weight is
stable
– Gain weight if intake exceeds output
– Lose weight if output exceeds intake
– Weight seems to have a stable, homeostatic set point
• Varies from person to person
• Combination of heredity and environmental influences
– 30% to 50% of variation in human weight is hereditary
– Environmental factors such as eating and exercise habits
account for the rest of the variation

![Page 5: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Appetite
• Control of weight involves several peptide
hormones and regulatory pathways that control
short- and long-term appetite
– Gut–brain peptides: act as chemical signals from the
gastrointestinal tract to the brain
• Short-term regulators of appetite
– Mechanisms work over periods of minutes to hours
– Makes one feel hungry and begin eating
– Makes one feel satiated and end a meal
26-5
![Page 6: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
26-6
Appetite
• Short-term regulators: include the peptides
ghrelin, peptide YY, and cholecystokinin
– Ghrelin
• Secreted from parietal cells in fundus of empty stomach
• Produces sensation of hunger
• Stimulates hypothalamus to secrete growth hormone–
releasing hormone
– Primes body to take advantage of nutrients about to be
absorbed
• Ghrelin secretion ceases within an hour of eating
![Page 7: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
26-7
Appetite
Short-term regulators (Continued)
– Peptide YY (PYY)
• Secreted by enteroendocrine cells of ileum and colon
that can sense that food has arrived in stomach
– Secrete PYY long before chyme reaches ileum
– Secrete PYY in amounts proportionate to calories consumed
• Primary effect is to signal satiety and terminate eating
– Cholecystokinin (CCK)
• Secreted by enteroendocrine cells in duodenum and
jejunum
• Stimulates secretion of bile and pancreatic enzymes
• Stimulates brain and sensory fibers of vagus nerve
suppressing appetite
• Along with PYY, CKK acts as a signal to stop eating
![Page 8: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
26-8
Appetite
• Long-term regulators—govern caloric intake and energy expenditure over periods of weeks to years
• Leptin and insulin are peptides that inform the brain of how much adipose the body has, and they activate mechanisms for adding or reducing fat
– Leptin
• Secreted by adipocytes throughout the body
• Level proportionate to one’s own fat stores
• Informs brain on how much body fat we have
• Most obese people have normal levels of leptin, but some have a defective leptin receptor
![Page 9: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
26-9
Appetite
(Continued)
– Insulin
• Secreted by pancreatic beta cells
• Stimulates glucose and amino acid uptake
• Promotes glycogen and fat synthesis
• Has receptors in the brain and functions, like leptin, as an index of the body’s fat stores
• Weaker effect on appetite than leptin
![Page 10: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
26-10
Appetite
• Arcuate nucleus of hypothalamus has receptors
for all five chemical signals just described
– Has two neural networks involved in hunger
– One group secretes neuropeptide Y (NPY), a potent
appetite stimulant
• Gherlin stimulates neuropeptide Y secretion
• Insulin, PYY, and leptin inhibit it
– Other group secretes melanocortin: inhibits eating
• Leptin stimulates melanocortin secretion
• Inhibits secretion of appetite stimulants—
endocannabinoids
– Named for their resemblance to the
tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) of marijuana
![Page 11: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

26-12
Appetite
• Hunger is stimulated partly by gastric peristalsis– Mild hunger contractions begin soon after stomach is
empty
– Increase in intensity over a period of hours
– Do not affect the amount of food consumed
![Page 13: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
26-13
Appetite
• Appetite is briefly satisfied by:– Chewing and swallowing
– Stomach filling
– Lasting satiation depends upon nutrients entering blood
• Neurotransmitters stimulate desire for different types of food– Norepinephrine: carbohydrates
– Galanin: fats
– Endorphins: protein
![Page 14: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
26-14
Obesity
• Obesity—weight more than 20% above recommended norm for one’s age, sex, and height– U.S. rates
• 30% obese; another 35% overweight
• Body mass index (BMI)—indication of overweight or obese– BMI = W/H2 (W = weight in kg; H = height in meters)
• 20 to 25 is optimal for most people
• Over 27: overweight
• Above 30: obese
![Page 15: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
26-15
Obesity
• Shortens life expectancy
– Increased risk of atherosclerosis, hypertension, diabetes
mellitus, joint pain, kidney stones and gallstones, cancer
of uterus, breast, and prostate, and sleep apnea
• Causes are diverse
– Heredity, overfeeding in infancy and childhood
– Evolution resulted in adaptations to store nutrients to cope
with times of scarcity
• Pharmaceutical companies are researching
drugs that act on appetite pathways
![Page 16: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
26-16
Calories
• One calorie—amount of heat required to raise
temperature of 1 g of water 1°C
– 1,000 calories is a kilocalorie (kcal) in physiology or a
Calorie in dietetics
– A measure of the capacity to do biological work
• Carbohydrates and proteins yield about 4 kcal/g
– Sugar and alcohol (7.1 kcal/g) are “empty” calories
• Provide few nutrients and suppress appetite
• Fats yield about 9 kcal/g
![Page 17: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
26-17
Calories
• Good nutrition requires complex foods that
meet the body’s needs for protein, lipids,
vitamins, and other nutrients
• Fuel—substance solely or primarily oxidized to
extract energy from it
– Extracted energy used to make adenosine
triphosphate (ATP)
![Page 18: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
26-18
Nutrients
• Nutrient—any ingested chemical used for growth,
repair, or maintenance of the body
• Six classes of nutrients
– Water, carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins
• Macronutrients—must be consumed in relatively large
quantities
– Vitamins and minerals
• Micronutrients—only small quantities are required
![Page 19: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
26-19
Nutrients
• Recommended daily allowances (RDA)
– Safe estimate of daily intake that would meet the
nutritional needs of most healthy people
• Essential nutrients cannot be synthesized in body
– Minerals, most vitamins, eight amino acids, and one to
three of the fatty acids must be consumed in diet
![Page 20: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
26-20
Carbohydrates
• Well-nourished adult body has 440 g of
carbohydrates
– 325 g of muscle glycogen
– 90 to 100 g of liver glycogen
– 15 to 20 g of blood glucose
![Page 21: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
26-21
Carbohydrates
• Sugars function as:
– Structural components of other molecules including
nucleic acids, glycoproteins, glycolipids, ATP, and related
nucleotides (GTP, cAMP)
– Most serve as fuel: easily oxidized source of chemical energy
• Most cells meet energy needs by a combination of carbohydrates and fats
• Neurons and erythrocytes depend solely on carbohydrates
• Hypoglycemia—deficiency of blood glucose
– Causes nervous system disturbances such as weakness and dizziness
![Page 22: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
26-22
Carbohydrates
• Blood glucose concentration carefully regulated– Interplay of insulin and glucagon
– Regulate balance between glycogen and free glucose
• Carbohydrate intake influences metabolism of other nutrients– Fats used as fuel when glucose and glycogen levels are
low
– Excess carbohydrates are converted to fat
![Page 23: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
26-23
Carbohydrates
• Requirements– Since carbohydrates are oxidized so rapidly, they are
required in greater amounts than any other nutrient
– RDA is 125 to 175 g
– Brain alone consumes about 120 g of glucose per day
• Consumption– A century ago, Americans consumed an average of
4 lb of sugar a year
– Now, the consumption averages 60 lb of sugar and 46 lb of corn syrup per year
– 8 teaspoons of sugar in a 12 oz non-diet soft drink
![Page 24: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
26-24
Carbohydrates
• Dietary carbohydrates come in three principal
forms
– Monosaccharides: glucose, galactose, fructose
• Arise mainly from digestion of starch and disaccharides
• Small intestine and liver convert galactose and fructose to
glucose
– Ultimately, all carbohydrate digestion generates glucose
– Normal blood sugar (glucose) concentration: 70 to 110 mg/dL
– Disaccharides: sucrose (table sugar), maltose, lactose
– Polysaccharides (complex carbohydrates): starch,
glycogen, and cellulose (not a nutrient because it is not
digested, but important as dietary fiber)
![Page 25: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
26-25
Dietary Sources
• Glycemic index (GI)—effect of a dietary
carbohydrate on blood glucose level
– High-GI carbohydrates stimulate a high insulin demand
and raise the risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus
• Nearly all dietary carbohydrates come from
plants
– Sucrose is refined from sugarcane and sugar beets
– Fructose is present in fruits and corn syrup
– Maltose is present in germinating cereal grains
– Lactose is found in cow’s milk
![Page 26: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26-26
Fiber
• Dietary fiber—all fibrous material of plant and animal origin that resists digestion– Cellulose, pectin, gums, and lignins
• Fiber is important to diet—RDA is 30 g/day
• Water-soluble fiber (e.g., pectin)– Found in oats, beans, peas, brown rice, and fruits
– Decreases blood cholesterol and LDL levels
![Page 27: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
26-27
Fiber
• Water-insoluble fiber (cellulose, hemicellulose,
lignin)
– No effect on cholesterol and LDL levels
– Absorbs water in intestines, softens stool and increases
its bulk, stretches colon, and stimulates peristalsis
thereby quickening passage of feces
– No clear effect on incidence of colorectal cancer
– Excessive intake can interfere with absorption of some
elements such as iron, calcium, magnesium,
phosphorus, and others
![Page 28: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
26-28
Lipids
• Average male 15% body fat; female 25% body
fat
• Well-nourished adult meets 80% to 90% of
resting energy needs from fat
– Fat is superior to carbohydrates for energy storage for
two reasons
• Carbohydrates are hydrophilic, absorb water, and expand
and occupy more space, whereas fat is hydrophobic, and is
a more compact energy storage substance
• Fat is less oxidized than carbohydrates and contains over
twice as much energy: 9 kcal/g for fat; 4 kcal/g for
carbohydrates
![Page 29: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
26-29
Lipids
• Fat has glucose-sparing and protein-sparing
effects when used for energy needs
– Glucose is spared for consumption by cells that cannot
use fat, like neurons
– Protein not catabolized for fuel
• Fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) absorbed with
dietary fat
– Ingestion of less than 20 g of fat per day risks vitamin
deficiency
![Page 30: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
26-30
Lipids
• Diverse functions besides energy source
– Structural
• Phospholipids and cholesterol are components of
plasma membranes and myelin
– Chemical precursors
• Cholesterol—a precursor of steroids, bile salts, vitamin D
• Thromboplastin, an essential blood-clotting factor, is a
lipoprotein
• Fatty acids—arachidonic acid and linoleic acid:
precursors of prostaglandins and other eicosanoids
– Important protective and insulating functions
![Page 31: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
26-31
Lipids
• Requirements: fat should be less than 30% of
daily calorie intake
– Typical American gets 40% to 50% from fat
– Saturated fat and cholesterol should be limited
• Most fatty acids synthesized by body
– Essential fatty acids must be consumed
![Page 32: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
26-32
Lipids
• Sources
– Saturated fats
• Animal origin—meat, egg yolks, dairy products
• Some in coconut and palm oils
– Unsaturated fats
• Found in nuts, seeds, and most vegetable oils
– Cholesterol
• Found in egg yolks, cream, shellfish, organ meats, and
other meats
• Only in tiny, trace amounts in foods of plant origin
![Page 33: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
26-33
Cholesterol and Serum Lipoproteins
• Lipids are an important part of the diet– Must be transported to all cells of the body
– Are hydrophobic and do not dissolve in blood plasma
• Lipoprotein complexes transport lipids in plasma– Tiny droplets with core of cholesterol and triglycerides
– Coated with protein and phospholipids
• Coating allows lipid to be suspended in blood
• Also serves as a recognition marker for cells that absorb them
![Page 34: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
26-34
Cholesterol and Serum Lipoproteins
• Serum lipoproteins are classified into four major categories by their density (higher density have higher lipid content)– Chylomicrons: 75–1,200 nm in diameter
– Very low–density lipoproteins (VLDLs): 30–80 nm
– Low-density lipoproteins (LDL): 18–25 nm
– High-density lipoproteins (HDL): 5–12 nm
• These differ in composition and function
![Page 35: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

26-36
Cholesterol and Serum Lipoproteins
• Chylomicrons form in absorptive cells of small intestine
• Enter lymphatic system, then bloodstream
• Blood capillary endothelial cells have lipoprotein lipase
to hydrolyze triglycerides into monoglycerides and free
fatty acids
• Resulting free fatty acids (FFAs) and glycerol enter
adipocytes to be made into triglycerides for storage
• Chylomicron remnant—the remainder of a chylomicron
after the triglycerides have been extracted and degraded
by liver
![Page 37: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
26-37
Cholesterol and Serum Lipoproteins
• VLDL
– Produced by liver to transport lipids to adipose tissue for
storage
– When triglycerides are removed in adipose tissue,
VLDLs become LDLs and contain mostly cholesterol
• LDL
– Absorbed by receptor-mediated endocytosis by cells in
need of cholesterol
– Digested by lysosomal enzymes to release the
cholesterol for intracellular use
![Page 38: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
26-38
Cholesterol and Serum Lipoproteins
• HDL production begins in the liver
– Produces an empty, collapsed protein shell
– Shell travels through blood and picks up cholesterol and
phospholipids from other organs
– When passes through liver again, cholesterol is removed
and eliminated in bile as cholesterol or bile acids
– HDLs are vehicles for removing excess cholesterol from
the body
• Desirable to maintain total plasma cholesterol
concentration of less than 200 mg/dL
– 200 to 239 mg/dL is considered borderline high
– Levels above 240 mg/dL are pathological
![Page 39: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
26-39
Cholesterol and Serum Lipoproteins
• Most of the body’s cholesterol is endogenous—
internally synthesized rather than dietary
– Body compensates for variation in intake
– High dietary intake lowers liver cholesterol production
– Low dietary intake raises liver production
– Lowering dietary cholesterol lowers level by no more
than 5%
– Certain saturated fatty acids (SFAs) raise serum
cholesterol level
• Moderate reduction in SFAs can lower blood cholesterol
by 15% to 20%
![Page 40: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
26-40
Cholesterol and Serum Lipoproteins
• Vigorous exercise lowers blood cholesterol
– Sensitivity of right atrium to blood pressure is reduced
– Heart secretes less atrial natriuretic peptide and thus
kidneys excrete less sodium and water
– Raises blood volume
– Dilution of blood lipoproteins causes adipocytes to
produce more lipoprotein lipase
– Adipocytes consume more blood triglycerides
– VLDL particles shed some cholesterol which is picked
up by HDL and removed by the liver
![Page 41: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
26-41
Cholesterol and Serum Lipoproteins
• Levels of LDL
– High LDL is a warning sign that correlates with cholesterol
deposition in arteries
– Elevated by saturated fat intake, cigarette smoking, coffee,
and stress
• Levels of HDL
– High level of HDL is beneficial
– Indicates that cholesterol is being removed from arteries
and transported to the liver for disposal
• Recommendation: increase the ratio of HDL to LDL
– Regular aerobic exercise
– Avoid smoking, saturated fats, coffee, stress
![Page 42: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

Proteins
• Protein constitutes 12% to 15% of total body mass– 65% of it is in skeletal muscle
• Proteins have a wide variety of functions– Muscle contraction
– Motility of cilia and flagella

![Page 45: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
26-45
Proteins
• Protein RDA is 44 to 60 g/day
– Weight in pounds x 0.37 = estimate of RDA of protein in
grams
– Higher intake recommended under conditions of stress,
infection, injury, and pregnancy
– Excessive intake overloads the kidneys with nitrogenous
waste and can cause kidney damage
![Page 46: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
26-46
Proteins
• Nutritional value of a protein depends on
proportions of amino acids needed for human
proteins
– 8 essential amino acids cannot be synthesized by the
body
• Isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine,
threonine, tryptophan, and valine
– 12 inessential amino acids synthesized by the body if
the diet does not supply them
• Cells do not store surplus amino acids for later use
– When a protein is synthesized, all amino acids must be
present at once
– If one is missing, the protein cannot be synthesized
![Page 47: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
26-47
Proteins
• Complete proteins—high-quality dietary proteins
that provide all essential amino acids in the
necessary proportions for human tissue growth,
maintenance, and nitrogen balance
• Incomplete proteins—lower quality because they
lack one or more essential amino acids
![Page 48: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
26-48
Proteins
• Net protein utilization—the percentage of amino
acids in a protein that the human body uses
– 70% to 90% of animal proteins
– 40% to 70% of plant proteins
• 14 oz of rice and beans provides same amount of usable
protein as 4 oz hamburger
– Advantages of decreasing meat intake and increasing
plant intake
• More vitamins, minerals, and fiber
• Less saturated fat
• No cholesterol
• Less pesticide
![Page 49: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
26-49
Dietary Sources
• Animal proteins of meat, eggs, and dairy
products are complete proteins
– Closely match human proteins in amino acid composition
• Plant sources are incomplete proteins and must
be combined in the right proportions
– Beans and rice are a complementary choice
![Page 50: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
26-50
Nitrogen Balance
• Nitrogen balance—rate of nitrogen ingested
equals rate of nitrogen excreted
– Proteins are chief dietary source of nitrogen
• Positive nitrogen balance
– Nitrogen ingestion exceeds its excretion
– Occurs in children because they retain protein for tissue
growth
– Pregnant women and athletes in resistance training show
positive nitrogen balance
– Growth hormone and sex steroids promote protein
synthesis and positive nitrogen balance
![Page 51: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
26-51
Nitrogen Balance
• Negative nitrogen balance
– Excretion exceeds ingestion
– Body proteins being broken down for fuel; muscle atrophy
• Muscles and liver proteins are more easily broken down
than others
• Carbohydrate and fat intake is insufficient to meet body’s
energy needs
– Glucocorticoids promote protein catabolism in states of
stress
![Page 52: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)

Minerals
Minerals (Continued)
– Iron is essential for the oxygen-carrying capacity of
hemoglobin and myoglobin
– Chlorine: component of stomach acid
– Many mineral salts function as electrolytes and govern
functions of nerve and muscle cells, osmotically regulate
the content and distribution of water in the body, and
maintain blood volume
– Best sources of minerals are vegetables, legumes, milk,
eggs, fish, shellfish, and some other meats
![Page 55: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)

– Herbivores often supplement by ingesting salt from soil
• Recommended sodium intake is 1.1 g/day
• Typical American diet contains 4.5 g/day
• Hypertension can be caused by elevated salt
intake
![Page 56: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)

![Page 61: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
26-61
Carbohydrate Metabolism
• Most dietary carbohydrates burned as fuel
within hours of absorption
• Oxidative carbohydrate metabolism is glucose
catabolism
C6H12O6 + 6 O2 6 CO2 + 6 H2O
• Function of this reaction is to transfer energy from
glucose to ATP
![Page 62: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
26-62
Glucose Catabolism
• Glucose catabolism—a series of small steps,
each controlled by a separate enzyme, in which
energy is released in small manageable amounts,
and as much as possible, is transferred to ATP and
the rest is released as heat
![Page 63: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
26-63
Glucose Catabolism
• Three major pathways of glucose catabolism
– Glycolysis
• Glucose (6 C) split into two pyruvic acid molecules (3 C)
– Anaerobic fermentation
• Occurs in the absence of oxygen
• Reduces pyruvic acid to lactic acid
– Aerobic respiration
• Occurs in the presence of oxygen
• Oxidizes pyruvic acid to CO2 and H2O
![Page 64: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)

26-65
Glucose Catabolism
• Enzymes remove electrons (as hydrogen atoms) from intermediate compounds of these pathways
• Enzymes transfer the hydrogen atoms to coenzymes
• Coenzymes donate them to other compounds later in the reaction pathways
• Enzymes of glucose catabolism cannot function without their coenzymes
![Page 66: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
26-66
Glucose Catabolism
• Two coenzymes of special importance
– NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide)
• Derived from niacin (B vitamin)
• NAD+ + 2 H NADH + H+
– FAD (flavin adenine dinucleotide)
• Derived from riboflavin
• FAD + 2 H FADH2
![Page 67: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
26-67
Glucose Catabolism
• Hydrogen atoms are removed from metabolic intermediates in pairs– Two protons and two electrons (2 H+ and 2 e-) at a time
– Transferred to a coenzyme
• This produces a reduced coenzyme with a higher free energy content than before the reaction
• Coenzymes become temporary carriers of the energy extracted from the glucose metabolites
![Page 68: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
26-68
Glucose Catabolism
• FAD binds two protons and two electrons to
become FADH2
• NAD+ binds two electrons but only one of the
protons to become NADH, and the other proton
remains a free hydrogen ion, H+
![Page 69: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
26-69
Glycolysis
• Glycolysis—series of conversions that occur when glucose enters the cell
• Phosphorylation– Hexokinase enzyme transfers an inorganic phosphate
group from ATP to glucose
– Produces glucose 6-phosphate (G6P)
• Keeps intracellular concentration of glucose low, favoring continued diffusion of glucose into the cell
• Prevents sugar from leaving the cell, since phosphorylated compounds cannot pass through the membrane
• G6P can be converted to fat or amino acids, polymerized to form glycogen, or oxidized to extract its energy
![Page 70: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
26-70
Glycolysis
• Priming– G6P is rearranged (isomerized) to form fructose
6-phosphate
– Phosphorylated again to form fructose 1,6-diphosphate
– “Primes” the process by providing activation energy
• Two ATPs have been consumed
• Cleavage– Fructose 1,6-diphosphate lyses or splits into two three-
carbon molecules
• Small changes results in two molecules of PGAL (phosphoglyceraldehyde)
![Page 71: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
26-71
Glycolysis
• Oxidation
– Each PGAL molecule is oxidized by removing a pair of
hydrogen atoms
– The electrons and one proton are picked up by NAD+
yielding NADH and H+
– Phosphate group is added to each C3 fragment from
cell’s pool of free phosphate ions
• Dephosphorylation
– Phosphate groups are taken from glycolysis intermediates
and added to ADP making ATP
– C3 compound becomes pyruvic acid
![Page 72: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
26-72
Glycolysis
• 4 ATP produced but 2 ATP consumed to initiate
glycolysis, so net gain is 2 ATP per glucose
• Some of glucose’s original energy is in the
ATP, some in NADH, some lost as heat, but
most of the energy remains in the pyruvic acid
• End products of glycolysis
– 2 pyruvic acid + 2 NADH + 2 ATP + 2 H+
![Page 73: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
26-73
Anaerobic Fermentation
• Fate of pyruvic acid depends on oxygen availability
• In the absence of oxygen (or mitochondria) cells can only generate ATP through glycolysis– Glycolysis cannot continue without supply of NAD+
• Anaerobic fermentation: NADH donates electrons to pyruvic acid reducing it to lactic acid and regenerating NAD+
![Page 74: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
26-74
Anaerobic Fermentation
• Lactic acid leaves the cells that generate it and travel to the liver via the blood– When oxygen becomes available the liver oxidizes it back
to pyruvic acid
• Oxygen required for this is part of the reason we breathe more vigorously after exercising (postexercise oxygen consumption)
![Page 75: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
26-75
Anaerobic Fermentation
• Liver can also convert lactic acid back to G6P and:– Polymerize it to form glycogen for storage
– Remove phosphate group and release free glucose into the blood
• Drawbacks of anaerobic fermentation– Wasteful, because most of the energy of glucose is still in
the lactic acid and has contributed no useful work
– Lactic acid is toxic
• Skeletal muscle is relatively tolerant of anaerobic fermentation, cardiac muscle less so– The brain employs no anaerobic fermentation
![Page 76: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
26-76
Aerobic Respiration
• Most ATP generated in mitochondria, which requires oxygen as final electron acceptor
• In the presence of oxygen, pyruvic acid enters the mitochondria and is oxidized by aerobic respiration
• Occurs in two principal steps– Matrix reactions: their controlling enzymes are in the
fluid of the mitochondrial matrix
– Membrane reactions: their controlling enzymes are bound to the membranes of the mitochondrial cristae
![Page 77: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
26-77
The Matrix Reactions
• Three steps prepare pyruvic acid to enter citric
acid cycle
– Decarboxylation—CO2 removed from pyruvic acid to
make a C2 compound
– Convert C2 compound to an acetyl group (acetic acid)
• NAD+ removes hydrogen atoms from the C2 compound
– Acetyl group binds to coenzyme A
• Results in acetyl-coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA)
![Page 78: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)

– Another CO2 is removed and the substrate becomes a
five-carbon chain
– Previous step repeated removing another free CO2
leaving a four-carbon chain
![Page 80: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
26-80

– Two hydrogen atoms are removed and accepted by the
coenzyme FAD
– Water is added
– Two final hydrogen atoms are removed and transferred to
NAD+

start the cycle again
![Page 81: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)

• Carbon atoms of glucose are carried away as CO2 and exhaled
• Most of the energy from the glucose molecule is in the 8 NADH
and 2 FADH2 molecules made in the matrix reactions
• Some of glucose’s energy is lost as heat, stored in 2 ATP, and 2
NADH from glycolysis
• Citric acid cycle not only oxidizes glucose metabolites, it is also
a source of substances for synthesis of fats and nonessential
amino acids
![Page 82: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)
26-82
The Membrane Reactions
• Membrane reactions have two purposes– To further oxidize NADH and FADH2 and transfer their
energy to ATP
– To regenerate NAD+ and FAD and make them available again to earlier reaction steps
• Mitochondrial electron-transport chain—series of compounds that carry out this series of membrane reactions– Most bound to the inner mitochondrial membrane
– Arranged in a precise order that enables each one to receive a pair of electrons from the member on one side of it
– Pass electrons to member on the other side
![Page 83: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/83.jpg)
The Membrane Reactions
• Flavin mononucleotide (FMN)—derivative of
riboflavin similar to FAD
– Bound to a membrane protein
– FMN accepts electrons from NADH
• Iron–sulfur (Fe-S) centers—complexes of iron
and sulfur atoms bound to membrane proteins
• Coenzyme Q (CoQ)—accepts electrons from
FADH2
– Small molecule that moves around in membrane
26-83

Electron Transport
• Hydrogen atoms are split apart as they transfer
from coenzymes to the chain
• Protons pumped into the intermembrane space
• Electrons travel in pairs (2 e−) along the
transport chain
• Each electron carrier becomes reduced when it
receives an electron pair and oxidized again
when it passes the electrons along to the next
carrier
26-85
![Page 86: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
Electron Transport
• Oxygen is the final electron acceptor
– Each oxygen atom accepts two electrons from
cytochrome a3 and two protons from the mitochondrial
matrix forming water
• Body’s primary source of metabolic water—water
synthesized in the body
– This reaction explains the body’s oxygen requirement

The Chemiosmotic Mechanism
• Electron-transport chain energy fuels respiratory enzyme complexes– Pump protons from matrix into space between inner and
outer mitochondrial membranes
– Creates steep electrochemical gradient for H+ across inner mitochondrial membrane
• Inner membrane is permeable to H+ only at channel proteins called ATP synthase
• Chemiosmotic mechanism—H+ current rushing back through ATP synthase channels drives ATP synthesis
![Page 89: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)

Overview of ATP Production
• NADH releases electron pairs to FMN in proton
pump of electron transport chain
– Enough energy to synthesize 2.5 ATP
• FADH2 releases its electron pairs further along
electron-transport system
– Enough energy to synthesize 1.5 ATP
• Complete aerobic oxidation of glucose to CO2 and
H2O produces 32 ATP
– Efficiency rating of 34% (the rest lost as heat)
![Page 91: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)

Glycogen Metabolism
• ATP is quickly used after it is formed
– It is an energy transfer molecule, not an energy
storage molecule
– Body converts extra glucose to other compounds better
suited for energy storage (glycogen and fat)
• Glycogenesis—synthesis of glycogen
– Stimulated by insulin
– Chains glucose monomers together
![Page 93: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/93.jpg)
26-93
Glycogen Metabolism
• Glycogenolysis—hydrolysis of glycogen
– Releases glucose between meals
– Stimulated by glucagon and epinephrine
– Liver cells can release glucose back into blood
• Gluconeogenesis—synthesis of glucose from
noncarbohydrates, such as glycerol and amino
acids
– Occurs chiefly in the liver and later, kidneys if necessary
![Page 94: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/94.jpg)

• Expected Learning Outcomes
– Describe the processes of lipid catabolism and anabolism.
– Describe the processes of protein catabolism and
anabolism.
– Explain the metabolic source of ammonia and how the
body disposes of it.

26-97
Lipids
• Triglycerides are stored in body’s adipocytes
– Turnover of lipid molecules every 2 to 3 weeks
• Released into blood, transported and either oxidized or
redeposited in other fat cells
• Lipogenesis—synthesis of fat from other types of
molecules
– Amino acids and sugars used to make fatty acids and
glycerol
– PGAL can be converted to glycerol
– Acetyl-CoA used to make fatty acids
![Page 98: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/98.jpg)

26-99
Lipids
• Lipolysis—breaking down fat for fuel
– Begins with the hydrolysis of a triglyceride to glycerol
and fatty acids
– Stimulated by epinephrine, norepinephrine,
glucocorticoids, thyroid hormone, and growth hormone
– Glycerol easily converted to PGAL and enters the
pathway of glycolysis
• Generates only half as much ATP as glucose
![Page 100: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/100.jpg)
26-100
Lipids
(Continued)
– Beta oxidation in the mitochondrial matrix catabolizes
the fatty acid components
• Removes 2 carbon atoms at a time which bonds to
coenzyme A
• Forms acetyl-CoA, the entry point for the citric acid cycle
– A fatty acid with 16 carbons can yield 129 molecules of
ATP
• Richer source of energy than the glucose molecule
![Page 101: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/101.jpg)
26-101
Lipids
• Fatty acids catabolized into acetyl groups (by beta
oxidation in mitochondrial matrix) may:
– Enter citric acid cycle as acetyl-CoA
– Undergo ketogenesis
• Metabolized by liver to produce ketone bodies
– Acetoacetic acid
– -hydroxybutyric acid
– Acetone
• Rapid or incomplete oxidization of fats raises blood ketone
levels (ketosis) and may lead to a pH imbalance
(ketoacidosis)
![Page 102: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/102.jpg)
26-102
Proteins
• Amino acid pool—dietary amino acids plus 100 g of tissue protein broken down each day into free amino acids
• May be used to synthesize new proteins– Fastest rate of protein turnover is in intestinal lining—
epithelial cells are frequently replaced
• Of all the amino acids absorbed by the small intestine:– 50% come from the diet
– 25% from dead epithelial cells
– 25% from enzymes that have digested each other
![Page 103: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/103.jpg)
26-103
Proteins
• Some amino acids in the pool can be converted to others
• Free amino acids also can be converted to glucose and fat or directly used as fuel
• Conversions involve three processes– Deamination: removal of an amino group (−NH2)
– Amination: addition of −NH2
– Transamination: transfer of −NH2 from one molecule to another
![Page 104: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/104.jpg)
26-104
Use as Fuel
• As fuel, amino acids first must be deaminated
(removal of −NH2)
– What remains is keto acid and may be converted to
pyruvic acid, acetyl-CoA, or one of the acids of the citric
acid cycle
• These reactions are reversible in case there is a deficiency of
amino acids
– In gluconeogenesis, keto acids are used to synthesis
glucose
![Page 105: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/105.jpg)
Transamination, Ammonia, and Urea
• When an amino acid is deaminated
– Its amino group is transferred to a citric acid cycle
intermediate, α-ketoglutaric acid, converting it to
glutamic acid
– Glutamic acid can travel to the liver
• −NH2 is removed converting it back α-ketoglutaric acid
• −NH2 becomes ammonia (NH3) which is toxic and cannot
be allowed to accumulate
• Urea cycle—pathway by which liver combines ammonia
with carbon dioxide to produce less toxic waste, urea
• Urea excreted in the urine as one of the body’s
nitrogenous wastes
26-105
![Page 106: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/106.jpg)
Protein Synthesis
• Protein synthesis—process involving DNA,
mRNA, tRNA, and ribosomes
• Stimulated by growth hormone, thyroid
hormone, and insulin
• Requires an ample supply of all amino acids
– Nonessential amino acids can be made by the liver
from other amino acids or citric acid cycle intermediates
– Essential amino acids must be obtained from the diet

Liver Functions in Metabolism
• Liver plays a wide variety of roles in
carbohydrate, lipid, and protein metabolism
– Most of its functions are nondigestive
– Hepatocytes perform all functions, except
phagocytosis
• Degenerative liver diseases such as hepatitis,
cirrhosis, and liver cancer are especially life-
threatening
26-108
![Page 109: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/109.jpg)
26-109
Hepatitis and Cirrhosis
• Hepatitis or inflammation of the liver is caused by one of five strains of hepatitis viruses– Hepatitis A is common and mild
• Causes up to 6 months of illness, but most recover
– Hepatitis B and C are more serious
• Transmitted sexually and through blood and other body fluids
• Often lead to cirrhosis or liver cancer
• Cirrhosis—irreversible inflammatory liver disease– Scar tissue starts to dominate, vessels rupture, and
necrosis occurs
– Results from alcohol abuse
![Page 110: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/110.jpg)
Metabolic States and Metabolic Rate
• Expected Learning Outcomes
– Define the absorptive and postabsorptive states.
– Explain what happens to carbohydrates, fats, and
proteins in each of these states.
– Describe the hormonal and nervous regulation of each
state.
– Define metabolic rate and basal metabolic rate.
– Describe some factors that alter the metabolic rate.

![Page 111: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/111.jpg)
Metabolic States and Metabolic Rate
• Your metabolism changes from hour to hour
– Depending on how long since your last meal
• Absorptive (fed) state
– About 4 hours during and after a meal
– Nutrients are being absorbed
– Nutrients may be used immediately to meet energy and
other needs
• Postabsorptive (fasting) state
– Prevails in the late morning, late afternoon, and overnight
– Stomach and intestines are empty
– Body’s energy needs are met from stored fuels
26-111
![Page 112: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/112.jpg)
26-112
The Absorptive State
• Glucose is readily available for ATP synthesis
– Serves as the primary fuel and spares use of stored fuels
• Carbohydrates
– Absorbed sugars transported to liver by hepatic portal
system
– Most glucose passes through the liver and becomes
available to cells everywhere
– Glucose excess absorbed by liver which forms glycogen
or fat
– Most fat synthesized by the liver is released into the
circulation
![Page 113: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/113.jpg)
26-113
The Absorptive State• Fats
– Enter the lymph as chylomicrons
– Initially bypass the liver
– Lipoprotein lipase removes fats from chylomicrons for
uptake by tissues
– Liver disposes of chylomicron remnants
– Fats are primary energy substrates for hepatocytes,
adipocytes, and muscle cells
• Amino acids
– Most pass through the liver and go on to other cells for
protein synthesis
– In liver cells, may be used for protein synthesis, fuel for
ATP synthesis, or fatty acid synthesis
![Page 114: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/114.jpg)
26-114
Regulation of the Absorptive State
• Regulated by insulin secreted in response to
elevated blood glucose and amino acid levels,
and the intestinal hormones gastrin, secretin,
cholecystokinin, and glucose-dependent
insulinotropic peptide (GIP)
• Insulin
– Regulates glucose uptake by nearly all cells, except
neurons, kidney cells, and erythrocytes
• Have independent rates of uptake
![Page 115: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/115.jpg)
26-115
Regulation of the Absorptive State
• Insulin effects on target cell– Increases the cellular uptake of glucose, causing blood
glucose concentration to fall
– Stimulates glucose oxidation, glycogenesis, and lipogenesis
– Inhibits gluconeogenesis
– Stimulates active transport of amino acids into cells and promotes protein synthesis
– Acts on the brain as an adiposity signal (index of fat stores)
• High amino acid levels stimulate release of both insulin and glucagon supporting adequate levels of glucose to meet the needs of the brain
![Page 116: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/116.jpg)
26-116
The Postabsorptive State
• Postabsorptive state regulates blood glucose
concentration to be between about 90 to 100 mg/dL
– Especially critical to the brain
– Uses stored fuels as needed
• Postabsorptive status of major nutrients
– Carbohydrates
• Glucose is drawn from glycogen reserves or synthesized
from other compounds (gluconeogenesis)
• Liver usually stores enough glycogen to support 4 hours of
postabsorptive metabolism before gluconeogenesis occurs
![Page 117: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/117.jpg)
26-117
The Postabsorptive State
(Continued)
– Fats
• Adipocytes and hepatocytes hydrolyze fat and convert
glycerol to glucose
• Free fatty acids cannot be converted to glucose, but they
can favorably affect blood glucose concentration by having
a glucose-sparing effect
– Free fatty acids are oxidized by liver to ketone bodies which
other cells absorb and use as their source of energy (leaving
glucose for the brain)
![Page 118: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/118.jpg)
26-118
The Postabsorptive State
(Continued)
– Proteins
• Used as fuel when glycogen and fat reserves are
depleted
• Collagen is almost never broken down for fuel, but
muscle protein goes quickly
• Cachexia—the extreme wasting away seen in cancer
and some other chronic diseases, resulting from loss of
appetite (anorexia) as well as altered metabolism
![Page 119: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/119.jpg)
26-119
Regulation of the Postabsorptive State
• Regulated mainly by the sympathetic nervous
system and glucagon
• As blood glucose levels drop, insulin secretion
declines
• The pancreatic alpha cells secrete glucagon
– Promotes glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis
• Raising blood glucose level
– Promotes lipolysis and rise in FFA levels
– Makes both glucose and lipid available for fuel
![Page 120: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/120.jpg)
26-120
Regulation of the Postabsorptive State
• Sympathoadrenal system also promotes
glycogenolysis and lipolysis
– Especially under the conditions of injury, fear, anger, and
other forms of stress
– Adipose tissue richly innervated by sympathetic
nervous system
– Adipocytes, hepatocytes, and muscle cells also respond
to epinephrine from the adrenal medulla
– Mobilizes stored energy reserves and makes them
available to meet the demands of tissue repair
![Page 121: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/121.jpg)
26-121
Regulation of the Postabsorptive State
• Cortisol released in response to stress which
promotes fat and protein catabolism and
gluconeogenesis
• Growth hormone is secreted in response to a
rapid drop in glucose levels
– Opposes insulin and raises blood glucose
concentrations
![Page 122: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/122.jpg)
26-122
Metabolic Rate
• Metabolic rate—the amount of energy liberated in the body in a given period of time (kcal/hr or kcal/day)– Measured directly with a calorimeter: a closed
chamber with water-filled walls that absorb the heat given off by the body
– Measured indirectly with a spirometer by measuring the amount of oxygen a person consumes
• Metabolic rate depends on physical activity, mental state, absorptive or postabsorptive status, thyroid hormone, and other hormones
![Page 123: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/123.jpg)
26-123
Metabolic Rate
• Basal metabolic rate (BMR)
– A baseline or standard of comparison that minimizes
the effects of activity, feeding, and hormone levels
– Relaxed, awake, fasting, comfortable room temperature
– Adult male BMR is 2,000 kcal/day; slightly less for a
female
![Page 124: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/124.jpg)
26-124
Metabolic Rate
• Total metabolic rate (TMR)—the sum of the BMR
and energy expenditures for voluntary activities
• Factors raising TMR
– Physical activity, pregnancy, anxiety, fever, eating,
catecholamines and thyroid hormones
– High in children and decreases with age
• Factors lowering TMR
– Apathy, depression, and prolonged starvation
– As one reduces food intake, the body reduces its
metabolic rate to conserve body mass, making weight
loss more difficult
![Page 125: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/125.jpg)
Body Heat and Thermoregulation
• Expected Learning Outcomes
– Identify the principal sources of body heat.
– Describe some factors that cause variations in body
temperature.
– Define and contrast the different forms of heat loss.
– Describe how the hypothalamus monitors and controls
body temperature.
– Describe conditions in which the body temperature is
excessively high or low.
26-125
![Page 126: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/126.jpg)
26-126
Body Heat and Thermoregulation
• Enzymes that control our metabolism depend on
an optimal, stable working temperature
– To maintain this, heat loss must match heat generation
– Low body temperature (hypothermia) can slow
metabolism and cause death
– High body temperature (hyperthermia) can disrupt
coordination of metabolic pathways and cause death
• Thermoregulation—the balance between heat
production and loss
![Page 127: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/127.jpg)
26-127
Body Temperature
• “Normal” body temperature varies about 1.8°F in
a 24-hour cycle
– Low in morning and high in late afternoon
• Core body temperature—temperature of organs in
cranial, thoracic, and abdominal cavities
– Rectal temperature is an estimate of core temperature
– Adult varies normally from 99.0° to 99.7°F
![Page 128: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/128.jpg)
26-128
Body Temperature
• Shell temperature—temperature closer to the
surface (oral cavity and skin)
– Slightly lower than rectal temperature
– Adult varies normally from 97.9° to 98.6°F
– As high as 104°F during hard exercise
– Fluctuates in response to processes that maintain
stable core temperature
![Page 129: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/129.jpg)
26-129
Heat Production and Loss
• Most of body’s heat comes from exergonic
(energy-releasing) chemical reactions such as
nutrient oxidation and ATP use
– A little heat is generated by joint friction, blood flow, and
other movements
– At rest, most heat is generated by the brain, heart, liver,
and endocrine glands
• Skeletal muscle contributes 20% to 30% of total resting
heat
– During vigorous exercise the muscles produce 30 to
40 times as much heat as the rest of the body

Heat Production and Loss
• The body loses heat in three ways
– Radiation: the emission of infrared (IR) rays by moving
molecules
• Heat means molecular motion
• All molecular motion produces IR rays
• When IR rays are absorbed by an object, they increase its
molecular motion and raise its temperature
• IR radiation removes heat from its source and adds heat to
anything that absorbs it
• Since we are usually warmer than the objects around us,
we usually lose more heat this way than we gain
![Page 131: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/131.jpg)
26-131
Heat Production and Loss
(Continued)
– Conduction—transfer of kinetic energy between
molecules as they collide
• Body heat is conducted through tissues to body surface and then
lost to anything next to skin that is cooler than it
• Body heat can also be gained by conduction if skin is contacting
something warmer than the body
![Page 132: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/132.jpg)
26-132
Heat Production and Loss
(Continued)
– Convection—transfer of heat to a moving fluid (blood, air,
or water)
• Heat from metabolism is carried in blood to body surface
• Body heat warms the air at skin surface, so the air rises and is
replaced by cooler air from below
• Natural convection occurs when fluid movement is caused only by
its temperature change
• Forced convection occurs when fluid movement is caused by some
other force (wind, for example)

26-134
Heat Production and Loss
(Continued)
– Evaporation: change from a liquid to a gaseous state
• Cohesion of water molecules hampers their vibratory
movements in response to heat input
• If the temperature of the water is raised sufficiently, its
molecular motion becomes great enough for molecules to
break free and evaporate
• Carries a substantial amount of heat with it (0.58 kcal/g)
• Sweat evaporation carries heat away
– Forced convection increases evaporative heat loss, such as
when you are sweaty and stand in front of a fan
• In extreme conditions, the body can lose 2 L or more of
sweat per hour
![Page 135: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/135.jpg)
26-135
Heat Production and Loss
• A nude body at air temperature of 70°F loses:– 60% of its heat by radiation
– 18% by conduction
– 22% by evaporation
• If air temperature is higher than skin temperature,evaporation becomes the only means of heat loss– Radiation and conduction add more heat to the body
than they remove from it
• Hot, humid weather hinders even evaporation because there is less of a humidity gradient from the skin to the air
![Page 136: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/136.jpg)
26-136
Thermoregulation
• Thermoregulation is achieved through several
negative feedback loops
• Hypothalamic thermostat—the preoptic area of
the hypothalamus functions as the body’s
thermostat
– Monitors temperature of the blood
– Receives signals from peripheral thermoreceptors in the
skin
– Sends appropriate signals to nearby centers:
• Heat-loss center: a nucleus in the anterior hypothalamus
• Heat-promoting center: a nucleus near the mammillary
bodies of the brain
![Page 137: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/137.jpg)
Thermoregulation
• When heat-loss center senses that blood
temperature is too high it activates heat-losing
mechanisms:
− Cutaneous vasodilation: increases blood flow close to
the body’s surface and promotes heat loss• If necessary, triggers sweating
• Inhibits heat-promoting center

![Page 138: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/138.jpg)
Thermoregulation
• When heat-promoting center senses blood temperature is too low it activates mechanisms to conserve or generate heat– Cutaneous vasoconstriction
• By way of the sympathetic nervous system
• Warm blood is retained deeper in the body and less heat is lost through the skin
– If not enough to restore core temperature, the body resorts to shivering thermogenesis
• Shivering—involves a spinal reflex that causes tiny alternating contractions of antagonistic muscle pairs
• Muscle contractions release heat from ATP consumption
• Shivering can increase body’s heat production fourfold

Thermoregulation
(Continued)
– Nonshivering thermogenesis: a more long-term
mechanism for generating heat
• Sympathetic nervous system and thyroid hormone
increase metabolic rate
• More nutrients burned as fuel, increased heat production,
and we consume more calories
– Behavioral thermoregulation: behaviors that raise or
lower the body’s heat gains and losses—adding or
removing clothing

Disturbances of Thermoregulation
• Fever
– Normal protective mechanism that should be allowed to
run its course if it is not excessively high
– Above 108° to 110°F can be very dangerous
• Elevates metabolic rate
• Body generates heat faster than heat-losing mechanisms
can disperse it
• Causes dangerous positive feedback loop
• Core temperatures of 111° to 113°F promote metabolic
dysfunction, neurological damage, and death
![Page 141: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/141.jpg)
26-141
Disturbances of Thermoregulation
• Exposure to excessive heat– Heat cramps: painful muscle spasms due to electrolyte
imbalance from excessive sweating
• Occur especially when a person begins to relax after strenuous exertion and heavy sweating
– Heat exhaustion: from severe water and electrolyte loss
• Hypotension, dizziness, vomiting, and sometimes fainting
![Page 142: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/142.jpg)
26-142
Disturbances of Thermoregulation
(Continued)
– Heat stroke (sunstroke): state in which the core body
temperature is over 104°F
• Brought about by prolonged heat wave with high humidity
• Skin is hot and dry
• Nervous system dysfunctions—delirium, convulsions, or
coma
• Tachycardia, hyperventilation, inflammation and
multiorgan dysfunction, death
![Page 143: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/143.jpg)
26-143
Disturbances of Thermoregulation
• Exposure to excessive cold
– Hypothermia can cause life-threatening positive
feedback loops
– If core temperature drops below 91°F
• Metabolic rate drops so low that heat production cannot
keep pace with heat loss
• Temperature falls even more
• Death from cardiac fibrillation may occur below 90°F
• Below 75°F is usually fatal
• Dangerous to give alcohol to someone in hypothermia, as
it accelerates heat loss by dilating cutaneous vessels
![Page 144: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/144.jpg)

Alcohol and Alcoholism
• Alcohol—mind-altering drug, empty calories, addictive drug, and a toxin
• Rapidly absorbed from GI tract– 10% in stomach and 90% in small intestine
– Carbonation increases rate of absorption
– Food reduces absorption
– Easily crosses blood–brain barrier to exert intoxicating effects on the brain
![Page 145: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/145.jpg)
26-145
Alcohol and Alcoholism
• Detoxified by hepatic enzyme alcohol
dehydrogenase which oxidizes it to
acetaldehyde—in citric cycle is oxidized to CO2
and H2O
– Women have less alcohol dehydrogenase and clear
alcohol from the bloodstream more slowly than men
• More vulnerable to alcohol-related illnesses such as
cirrhosis of the liver
![Page 146: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/146.jpg)

Physiological Effects of Alcohol
• Nervous system
– Depressant because it inhibits the release of
norepinephrine and disrupts GABA receptors
• Low dose provides euphoria and giddiness
• High dose—nerves less responsive to neurotransmitters
– Timing and coordination between neurons is impaired
– Slurred speech, poor coordination, slower reaction time
![Page 147: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/147.jpg)
26-147
Physiological Effects of Alcohol
• Liver
– Excessive acetaldehyde produced during metabolism
causes inflammation of liver and pancreas
• Disruption of digestive function
– Destroys hepatocytes faster than they can regenerate,
producing cirrhosis
• Hepatic coma and jaundice
![Page 148: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/148.jpg)
26-148
Physiological Effects of Alcohol
• Circulatory system
– Clotting problems
• Clotting factors reduced due to liver damage
– Edema due to inadequate production of albumin
– Cirrhosis obstructs hepatic portal circulation
– Portal hypertension and hypoproteinemia
• Liver and other organs “weep” serous fluid into peritoneal
cavity
• Ascites—swelling of abdomen with as much as several
liters of serous fluid
• Hemorrhaging and hematemesis (vomiting blood)
• Destroys myocardial tissue, reduces heart contractility, and
causes arrhythmias

Physiological Effects of Alcohol
• Digestive system and nutrition
– Breaks down protective mucous barrier of stomach
• Gastritis and bleeding
• Linked to esophageal cancer and peptic ulcers
– Malnutrition from appetite suppression
– Acetaldehyde interferes with vitamin absorption and use

Addiction
• Alcohol is the most widely available addictive
drug in America
– Similar to barbiturates in toxic effects
• Alcoholism involves: potential for tolerance,
dependence, and risk of overdose
– Physiological tolerance of high concentrations
– Impaired physiological, psychological, and social
functionality
– Withdrawal symptoms when intake is reduced or
stopped: delirium tremens (DT)
• Restlessness, insomnia, confusion, irritability, tremors,
incoherent speech, hallucinations, convulsions, and coma
• Has 5% to 15% mortality rate
![Page 151: Chapter 26 Lecture Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022000/589da4c81a28ab4e4a8bd626/html5/thumbnails/151.jpg)
26-151
Addiction
• Type I (more common) sets in after age 25—
usually associated with life stress or peer pressure
• Type II is addicted before 25—partially hereditary
– Sons of other type II alcoholics

Treatment
• Behavioral modification
– Abstinence, peer support, avoidance or correction of
stress that encourages drinking, psychotherapy
• Disulfiram (Antabuse): drug used to support
behavioral modification programs
