Physiological Principles 5013SPOSCI: Coursework Assignment 1 Lab Report: Substrate use during high and low intensity exercise Introduction (20%) There are 3 distinct, yet closely integrated processes that work together interchangeably during exercise to fulfil the energy requirements of the muscle (Gastin, 2001). The primary role of these 3 processes - Phosphocreatine (PCr), Carbohydrate Oxidation (CHO) and Fat Oxidation (FOX)- is to resynthesize adenosine triphosphate (ATP) from adenosine…

This protein using CuSO4 and NaOH should result in a color change from purple to a darker purple color. Lipids are macromolecules that are generally insoluble in water. Lipids are made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. They are shown as fats or triglycerides. Oils are fluid at room temperature and are called unsaturated. Strong fats are submerged. Lipids are found in cell films and are a huge energy source. By utilizing the Sudan III test the domain of lipids can be found. Sudan is a red dye…

Which would include lipids, proteins, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates. A lipid is a group of naturally occurring molecules, some example of lipids are fats, waxes, sterols, fat-soluble vitamins, monoglycerides, diglycerides, triglycerides, phospholipids, and more. A protein is a large biomolecules, or macromolecules, consisting of one or more long chains of amino acid residues. A nucleic acid is a complex organic substance present in living cells, especially DNA or RNA, whose molecules…

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are known to be the number one cause of death worldwide. Among the most commonly recognized risk factors for CVD are high levels of total cholesterol (TC) and triglycerides (TGs), hypertension, insulin resistance, overall body fatness, central adiposity, low levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and poor cardiorespiratory fitness. Lifestyle choices, such as diet quality and activity level, can have an influence on these risk factors. For instance,…

Isabel: The normal range for triglycerides is anything less than 150 mg/dL (The Mayo Clinic Staff). Your levels are within the normal range. Mr. Brown: Well that’s good to hear. How about my cholesterol? Isabel: Let’s see. Your cholesterol is at 210 mg/dL. The desirable amount would be anything below 200 mg/dL (The Mayo Clinic Staff, 2016). You are what we call borderline high (The May Clinic Staff, 2016). Mr. Brown: What is cholesterol and what would make my cholesterol high? Isabel: Think of…

FBCx, known scientifically as alpha-cyclodextrin (-CD) is a pill containing a fat eating fiber. It has been marketed as an effective weight loss tool because the dietary fiber -CD has been deemed a powerful fat burning agent. By binding onto bad fats, it claims to be capable of eliminating nine times its weight in fat. In terms of calories, FBCx can remove up to five-hundred calories of fat per day. Chiefly because of its potentially high fat burning capabilities, it has been recommended that…

Garcinia Cambogia is HCA. The acid blocks fat by inhibiting the strength of an important metabolic enzyme called citrate lyase. In normal situations, citrate lyase works by converting extra carbohydrates and sugar in the body into fatty acids, triglycerides and cholesterol. The reserve energy in the body is then stored as fat in the thigh, waist, belly and buttocks. HCL effectively slows the metabolic process of converting carbs into fat. This greatly impedes the accumulation of fat in the body;…

• Atherosclerosis is a condition in which cholesterol, calcium and other substances build up in body arteries, blocking the blood flow. • Visceral Fat is fat around organs. Its function is to insulate and protect organs. • Subcutaneous Fat is under the skin. This fat protects and insulate our body. Fat (visceral and subcutaneous) stores energy. • Omega-3 fatty acids have the first double bond on the third carbon counting from the carbon in the methyl end. These are essential fatty acids (our…
