Midterm II Flashcards
Monosaccharides
Simplest form of carb, not usually found in nature
Cant be further hydrolyzed
Ex: glucose, fructose, galactose
Disaccharide
made up of 2 monosaccharide chain units
Sucrose
glucose+fructose (table sugar)
lactose
galactose+glucose (dairy)
maltose
glucose dimer (molasses)
Isomaltose
glucose dimer (amylopectin and glycogen)
Oligosaccharide
multiple monosaccharide units
Ex. Rafinnose->Trisaccharide
Polyshaccharide
10+ monosaccharide units
Ex. starch in grains and cereals
such as amylose, amylopectin, glycogen
Dietary fiber
undigestible polysaccharides and non carb compounds PEctin- fruit lignin-veggie mucilage-grains/cereal glycoprotein-legumes physic acid-nuts
Alpha amylase
digests starch and glycogen into glucose, maltose, isomaltose
Produced by salivary glands and pancreas
SGLT-1
Active Na transport (Na-K pump)
Glut-1
passive-brain kidney, placenta, colon, RBCs
Glut-2
Passive- rapid intestine to blood transport (falconi bickel syndrome)
Glut-3
Passive- brain, kidney, placenta
SGLT-1 and Glut-4
Both active
Glut-1 and Glut 3
both for brain, kidney, placenta
Michaelis Menton Equation (Km)
Km=substrate producing velocity at 1/2 max
-how strong affinity enzyme has for substrate
Low km=high affinity
whole foods diet
decreases pace of glucose absorption
galactokinase
activates galactose to Gal-1-P
Galactose-1-phosphate-uridyl-transferase
transfers galactose from gal-1-p to UDP-glucose forming UDP-GAC
Cooking
increases glycemic index (GI)
increase fiber intake
decreases GI
increase fructose intake in fruit
decreases GI
Increased GI
Increase risk for DM type II
