Nutrition, Metabolism, and Body Temperature Regulation
24 P A R T A Nutrition, Metabolism, and Body Temperature Regulation
2
Nutrition Nutrient – a substance that promotes normal growth, maintenance, and repair Major nutrients – carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins Other nutrients – vitamins and minerals (and technically speaking, water)

Nutrition Figure 24.1b
5
Carbohydrates Complex carbohydrates (starches) are found in bread, cereal, flour, pasta, nuts, and potatoes Simple carbohydrates (sugars) are found in soft drinks, candy, fruit, and ice cream
6
Carbohydrates Glucose is the molecule ultimately used by body cells to make ATP Neurons and RBCs rely almost entirely upon glucose to supply their energy needs Excess glucose is converted to glycogen or fat and stored
7
Carbohydrates The minimum amount of carbohydrates needed to maintain adequate blood glucose levels is 100 grams per day Starchy foods and milk have nutrients such as vitamins and minerals in addition to complex carbohydrates Refined carbohydrate foods (candy and soft drinks) provide energy sources only and are referred to as “empty calories”
8
Lipids The most abundant dietary lipids, triglycerides, are found in both animal and plant foods Essential fatty acids – linoleic and linolenic acid, found in most vegetables, must be ingested Dietary fats: Help the body to absorb vitamins Are a major energy fuel of hepatocytes and skeletal muscle Are a component of myelin sheaths and all cell membranes
9
Fatty deposits in adipose tissue provide:
Lipids Fatty deposits in adipose tissue provide: A protective cushion around body organs An insulating layer beneath the skin An easy-to-store concentrated source of energy
10
Prostaglandins function in:
Lipids Prostaglandins function in: Smooth muscle contraction Control of blood pressure Inflammation Cholesterol stabilizes membranes and is a precursor of bile salts and steroid hormones
11
Lipids: Dietary Requirements
Higher for infants and children than for adults The American Heart Association suggests that: Fats should represent less than 30% of one’s total caloric intake Saturated fats should be limited to 10% or less of one’s total fat intake Daily cholesterol intake should not exceed 200 mg
12
Proteins Complete proteins that meet all the body’s amino acid needs are found in eggs, milk, milk products, meat, and fish Incomplete proteins are found in legumes, nuts, seeds, grains, and vegetables
13
Daily intake should be approximately 0.8g/kg of body weight
Proteins Proteins supply: Essential amino acids, the building blocks for nonessential amino acids Nitrogen for nonprotein nitrogen-containing substances Daily intake should be approximately 0.8g/kg of body weight
14
Proteins: Synthesis and Hydrolysis
All-or-none rule All amino acids needed must be present at the same time for protein synthesis to occur Adequacy of caloric intake Protein will be used as fuel if there is insufficient carbohydrate or fat available
15
Proteins: Synthesis and Hydrolysis
Nitrogen balance The rate of protein synthesis equals the rate of breakdown and loss Positive – synthesis exceeds breakdown (normal in children and tissue repair) Negative – breakdown exceeds synthesis (e.g., stress, burns, infection, or injury) Hormonal control Anabolic hormones accelerate protein synthesis
16
Essential Amino Acids Figure 24.2
17
Organic compounds needed for growth and good health
Vitamins Organic compounds needed for growth and good health They are crucial in helping the body use nutrients and often function as coenzymes Only vitamins D, K, and B are synthesized in the body; all others must be ingested Water-soluble vitamins (B-complex and C) are absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract B12 additionally requires gastric intrinsic factor to be absorbed
18
Vitamins Fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) bind to ingested lipids and are absorbed with their digestion products Vitamins A, C, and E also act in an antioxidant cascade
19
Seven minerals are required in moderate amounts
Calcium, phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, sodium, chloride, and magnesium Dozens are required in trace amounts Minerals work with nutrients to ensure proper body functioning Calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium salts harden bone
20
Minerals Sodium and chloride help maintain normal osmolarity, water balance, and are essential in nerve and muscle function Uptake and excretion must be balanced to prevent toxic overload
21
Metabolism – all chemical reactions necessary to maintain life
Cellular respiration – food fuels are broken down within cells and some of the energy is captured to produce ATP Anabolic reactions – synthesis of larger molecules from smaller ones Catabolic reactions – hydrolysis of complex structures into simpler ones
22
Metabolism Enzymes shift the high-energy phosphate groups of ATP to other molecules These phosphorylated molecules are activated to perform cellular functions
23
Energy-containing nutrients are processed in three major stages
Stages of Metabolism Energy-containing nutrients are processed in three major stages Digestion – breakdown of food; nutrients are transported to tissues Anabolism and formation of catabolic intermediates where nutrients are: Built into lipids, proteins, and glycogen Broken down by catabolic pathways to pyruvic acid and acetyl CoA Oxidative breakdown – nutrients are catabolized to carbon dioxide, water, and ATP

25
Oxidation-Reduction (Redox) Reactions
Oxidation occurs via the gain of oxygen or the loss of hydrogen Whenever one substance is oxidized, another substance is reduced Oxidized substances lose energy Reduced substances gain energy Coenzymes act as hydrogen (or electron) acceptors Two important coenzymes are nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD)
26
Mechanisms of ATP Synthesis: Substrate-Level Phosphorylation
High-energy phosphate groups are transferred directly from phosphorylated substrates to ADP ATP is synthesized via substrate-level phosphorylation in glycolysis and the Krebs cycle Figure 24.4a
27
Mechanisms of ATP Synthesis: Oxidative Phosphorylation
Uses the chemiosmotic process whereby the movement of substances across a membrane is coupled to chemical reactions
28
Mechanisms of ATP Synthesis: Oxidative Phosphorylation
Is carried out by the electron transport proteins in the cristae of the mitochondria Nutrient energy is used to pump hydrogen ions into the intermembrane space A steep diffusion gradient across the membrane results When hydrogen ions flow back across the membrane through ATP synthase, energy is captured and attaches phosphate groups to ADP (to make ATP)

44
Krebs Cycle: Preparatory Step
Occurs in the mitochondrial matrix and is fueled by pyruvic acid and fatty acids
45
Krebs Cycle: Preparatory Step
Pyruvic acid is converted to acetyl CoA in three main steps: Decarboxylation Carbon is removed from pyruvic acid Carbon dioxide is released
46
Krebs Cycle: Preparatory Step
Oxidation Hydrogen atoms are removed from pyruvic acid NAD+ is reduced to NADH + H+ Formation of acetyl CoA – the resulting acetic acid is combined with coenzyme A, a sulfur-containing coenzyme, to form acetyl CoA
47
Krebs Cycle An eight-step cycle in which each acetic acid is decarboxylated and oxidized, generating: Three molecules of NADH + H+ One molecule of FADH2 Two molecules of CO2 One molecule of ATP For each molecule of glucose entering glycolysis, two molecules of acetyl CoA enter the Krebs cycle PLAY Krebs Cycle

Electron Transport Chain
Food (glucose) is oxidized and the released hydrogens: Are transported by coenzymes NADH and FADH2 Enter a chain of proteins bound to metal atoms (cofactors) Combine with molecular oxygen to form water Release energy The energy released is harnessed to attach inorganic phosphate groups (Pi) to ADP, making ATP by oxidative phosphorylation
59
Mechanism of Oxidative Phosphorylation
The hydrogens delivered to the chain are split into protons (H+) and electrons The protons are pumped across the inner mitochondrial membrane by: NADH dehydrogenase (FMN, Fe-S) Cytochrome b-c1 Cytochrome oxidase (a-a3) The electrons are shuttled from one acceptor to the next
60
Mechanism of Oxidative Phosphorylation
Electrons are delivered to oxygen, forming oxygen ions Oxygen ions attract H+ to form water H+ pumped to the intermembrane space: Diffuses back to the matrix via ATP synthase Releases energy to make ATP PLAY InterActive Physiology ®: Muscular System: Muscular Metabolism
