Fluid balance is?
- control of fluid inside cell and outside of cell
- water goes were protein is
-
intercellular is??
in cell
-
extercellular is?
outside cell
-
interstitial is?
between cells
-
intravascular is?
with in blood vessels.
-
-
3 ways adema occurs?
- 1. excessive protein due to kidney disease
- 2. inadiquit protein sithases due to protein
- 3. inadiquit protein intake
-
ph balance?
- acids release h ions to buffer
- protein w/ neg. charge accepts them
-
Transporters?
different proteins transport all sorts of things.
-
immunity antigen is?
- anything you are exposed to that is not you.
- -body makes antibody that are protein.
- -these proteins allow you to have immunity
-
Fibrin is critical for?
blood clotting
-
opsin is in?
retna of eye (protein) when light hits protein it will change canfirmation ineshats sights
-
Functions of protein as energy?
- protein can be used for energy
- can be used to provide energy and glucose.
-
protein turnover is?
constantly breaking down protein and have to make new ones.
-
Nitrogen balance is?
in a healthy adult protein sythises equals degrigation and protein intake (dietary) equals nitrogen excrition in feces, sweat, urine
-
Nitrogen balance is used to?
estimate of protein requirement.
-
Nin=Nout
zero nitrogen balance (equilibrium)
-
Nin > Nout
- positive nitrogen balance
- body senthesies moves protein then it degreades
- ex: pregnancy and growth (children)
-
Nin < Nout
- negative nitrogen balance
- body breaks down more protein then it makes.
- ex: some one starving
-
how do you Make nonessential a.a.
breaking proteins down out of essiential a.a.
-
how do you make other compounds?
a.a. tyrosine used to make neurotransmitters
-
What does energy do in the roles of a.a.?
- main way store energy- fat
- not bodies intent to store energy as protein
- when it is deprived of energy it will use this.
- -body will lose lean mass
-
What are the 2 protein quality?
- 1. does this provide proper balance of a.a. for body needs
- 2. is it digestable
-
Complete protein contains?
- All essential a.a. must be provided at the sametime for protein sythesis to occur
- - 1 missing, a.a.= no protein
-
Digestibility measures amount of?
amino acids absorbs for a given protein intake.
-
high quality proteins?
- make all essintial amino acids needs in relavent to a human requires.
- ex: meat-red, fish, poultry
-
Complementary proteins are?
- two or more dietary protein that when put together you get all essential a.a.
- ex: beans and rice
-
reference point is?
- a standard protein that meets the essential a.a. requirements of preschool-age children
- -egg usually used
-
Amino acid (chemical) scoring?
- compare protein in food to gold standard (egg)
- lower chemical score not as good for you.
- may not reflect the way the body will use protein.
- fails to take into account digestibility of a protein.
-
Protein digestibility-corrected a.a. score
- like a.a. scoring
- takes into account digestibility
-
Biological value?
measures of efficiency of a protein to support the body's needs.
look back over pae 9 in notes
-
Protein efficiency ratio?
- measure weight gain in growing animals compared to its protein intake.
- growing animal- feed it source of protein if it grows good source if not can figure out why.
- nothing will go in baby food unless it goes through this.
-
malnutrition?
not getting all nutritients they need.
-
acute energy malnutrition?
- PEM caused be a recient event of food restriction
- -can tell by normal height thin for height
-
Chronic energy malnutrition?
- long term food depervation
- -will be short for age
-
Health effects of protein?
- if you don't have protein and can't make it you will die.
- no matter quality of calories not getting enough body will use protein for energy.
-
Marasmas is?
- Chronic PEM- lack in both energy and protein
- -defisiant in almost everything
- - impair muscle and brain development
- - running on very basis of living life
- - body not good at absorbing nutrients
-
Kwashiorkor is and the infections?
- can not make lipoproteins that carry fat from the liver so you end up with a fatty liver.
- -no antibodies = increase infection
- -increase infection= increase kwashiorkor
- - other proteins decrease making them mroe suseptable to infection
-
Kwashiorkor acute verion of PEM is?
- getting enough calorie but not enough protein
- -kids will have adema (swelling in abdominal area)
-
Vegan?
eat nothing to do with animal diet
-
lactovegetarians?
eat milk based products
-
lacto-ovo vegetarians
eat milk and eggs
