Nutritional Science
investigates the metabolic and physiologic aspects of the body as related to diet/study of all processes of growth, main & repair of the living body-dep on the intake of food

Vitamins Classes
Fat soluble- A, D, E & K
Water soluble-B1/thiamine, B2/riboflavin, B3/niacin, B6/pyridoxine, B12/pantothenic acid, biotin, folic acid, C/ascorbic acid
Vitamin A
collective term for retinoids
found in yellow fruit and vegetables
imp for regulating embryonic dev, maint of epithelial str&fx, vision
Vitamin D
necessary for intestinal absorption of Ca and P
Vitamin E
alpha-tocopherol
imp antioxidant fxs
Vitamin K
promotes clotting reaction
found in green, leafy vegetables
Antioxidants
inactivate free radicals which damage tissue
B vitamins
increase metabolic rate
maint skin and muscle tone
enhance immune and NS fx
promote cell growth & division
combat stress, depress &CVD
Vitamin C/Ascorbic Acid
cofactor for enzymatic reactions
antioxidant
Minerals/elements
function as co-factors for specific enzymes
Minerals needed daily in large amts
sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, chloride
Minerals needed in trace amounts
iron, zinc, manganese, fluorine, copper, molybdenum, chromium, selenium
Free Radicals
Atoms w/ unpaired electrons in outer orbital
Highly reactive molecules which oxidize or reduce other atoms
Major FRs are ROS or RNS
Free Radical imp. physiological functions
help destroy bacteria,produce vasodilation, stimulate lymphocyte proliferation/can exert oxid. stress inducing dz, can damage lipids, prot, DNA
Enzymes that neutralize free radicals
Superoxidase dismutase (SOD), catalase, glutathione peroxidase
Non-enzymes that neutralize free radicals
Glutathione, Vit. C, Vit. E
(antioxidant molecules)
Adipocytes
store and release fat
secrete adipokines when PPARy receptors are activated, that regulate hunger, metabolism, insulin sensitivity
Adipokines
adiponectin
leptin
resistin
TNF-alpha
retinol BP4
Adipocyte horm (TNF-a, resistin, retinol BP4, leptin) are increased in obesity and Type II Diabetes/reduce sensitivity of muscle in insulin
blank
Adipocyte hormone, adiponectin, is decreased in obesity and Type II diabetes, insulin-sensitizing/anti-diabetic effect
blank
Regulation of hunger
-part. controlled by ventromedial & lateral regions of hypothalamus
-involves a number of NTs
-arcuate nucleus of hypothal
Hunger Regulation
controlled partially by vm and lateral regions of hypothalamus, by arcuate nucleus, NTs
MSH
NT which suppresses appetite via binding to its receptor melanocortin 4 receptor (obesity is related to mutations with this receptor)
NT Regulation of Hunger
Endorphins
NE
Serotonin
End-promote overeating
NE-promote overeating
Ser-suppresses overeating
Agouti-related Peptide and Neuropeptide Y

Reg of Hunger (Stomach and SI)
Ghrelin

from SI
promotes satiety
levels rise during and imm. after a meal
(short-term hunger regulation)

Insulin in hunger regulation
may play a role in satiety via suppression of Neuropeptide Y
