1st Stop: The Liver
• Blood that has just picked up nutrients from the small intestine flows first to the liver (via the “hepatic portal vein”). Why?
• The liver

Fuel ‘er up!
• In cells, ______ are burned first
• If lacking, _____ are burned
• If carbs & fats are lacking (as in starvation, anorexia, or bulimia), ______ are burned

Blood Sugar (Glucose) Balance
• Excess glucose is stored in ________ & ________cells as carbohydrates (glycogen), which can then be converted back into glucose when needed.
• This balance is regulated by two hormones produced in the pancreas: _________& ___________

“Carb. Loading”• By resting muscles and
eating lots of carbs 2-3 days before an endurance event, you can get your muscles to store almost twice as much glycogen as usual, which then allows them to sustain endurance exercise up to 50% longer.

Essential vs. Nonessential Amino Acids
• Proteins (polymers) are made up of 20 different __________________.
• Essential amino acids are
• Nonessential can be missing from your diet because

So what are vitamins for then?
• Vitamins (organic) and minerals (inorganic) help _________ do their job of breaking down and building molecules.
• Too low or too high a concentration of vitamins can be dangerous. A well-balanced diet is the best way to stay healthy.

You gotta regulate…• (Dietary) Fiber is the
indigestible parts of plants
• It coats• Helps to• Helps to • Good for (since it never turns to
fat)

Metabolic Rate• Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)
• Total Metabolic Rate (TMR)
• If you consume fewer calories than your TMR, you lose weight; if you consume more calories that your TMR, you gain weight. [A calorie is equal to the amount of energy needed to raise 1g of water 1 degree C.]

Kwashiorkor: enough calories but not enough protein
• Causes
• Causes
• Ascites results from deficiency of plasma proteins-changes osmotic balance of blood thus promotes osmosis of H2O from blood to peritoneal space
