15%
25%
List the fat-soluble vitamins

What is the recommended daily intake for fat?
A, D, E, K

less than 30%
List 3 functions of lipids
1. structural for plasma
2. cholesterol is a precursor for many things
3. fatty acids is a precursor for many things
Most fatty acids can be synthesized by the body (T/F)
true
3 sources of fat

2. Unsaturated fat
3. Cholesterol
1. animal origin
2. nuts, seeds, veg oil
3. egg yolks, cream, shellfish, organ meats
4 categories of Lipoproteins
chylomicrons
VLDL
LDL
HDL
Chylomicrons are formed where?
in the absorptive cells of the small intestine
Very low-density lipoproteins (VLDLs) are produced by? and do what?
liver
transport lipids to the adipose tissue for storage
High-density lipoproteins (HDL) is bad or good?
good- it is desirable to maintain high levels because it removes cholesterol from the arteries
Low-density lipoproteins (LDL) is bad or good?
bad- it is desirable to maintain low levels because it deposits cholesterol in the arteries

RDA value in g
12-15%
mostly in skeletal muscle

44-60 g
List a few functions of proteins
muscle contraction
structure in cells
makes collagen, elastin, keratin
globular proteins have antibodies
plasma proteins maintain blood osmolarity and viscosity
What is required to maintain nitrogen balance?
inputs of N = outputs of N
Positive and negative nitrogen balance
positive- only in children since they need to grow; excrete less
negative- adults; excrete more

glycogenolysis?
gluconeogenesis?
synthesis of glycogen

lipolysis?
synthesizing fat from other sources
breaking down fat for fuel
Where are triglycerides stored in?
adipocytes
what is it called when fatty acids are catabolized in the mitochondrial matrix by beta-oxidation
ketogenesis, excess is called ketone bodies
What is urea synthesis?
when the liver converts ammonia to urea which is removed from the blood by the kidneys
