Topic E Nutrition And Supporting Sciences Flashcards
Regulates metabolism and rate of oxidation. Influences physical and mental growth. Stimulates liver glycogenolysis gluconeogenesis
Thyroxine
Coenzyme-Enzyme activators include some vitamins. ___,___,___,___ Are needed for energy production
Pantothenic acid thiamin riboflavin niacin
Basil energy expenditure in a tropical climate ___-___% increase
Caffeine alcohol nicotine stimulate metabolic rate ___-___%
5 to 20%
7-15%
The basal metabolic rate is affected primarily by:
Sex (women 5-10% lower) age (0-2 years highest) body composition/body surface area, endocrine glands (thyroid)
Measures activity of thyroid gland
PBI protein-bound iodine
When PBI is elevated BMR is elevated
Not a nutritional assessment parameter
Measures he produced in respiration chamber (limited usefulness)
Direct calorimetry
Measures oxygen consumed and carbon dioxide excreted using a portable machine (practical way of measuring which nutrients are being used for energy and determining caloric needs) useful with athlete, burns
Indirect calorimetry
Respiratory quotient equals
CO2 expired/oxygen consumed

Canola
A lack of this creates eczema poor growth rate and Petechiae ( Red purple skin spots)

If linoleic acid replaces carbohydrate in the diet
LDL decrease HDL increase
