Course learning goals:
- Describe and explain general digestive function and main metabolic pathways (=you
will know for the macronutrients you ingest how these will lead to ATP and how much
ATP).
- Predict setting of metabolism based on nutritional input (EI) and physiological output
(EE).
, - Estimate changes in energetic efficiencies in relation to changing conditions (how
factors can affect metabolism).
- Judge physiological conditions in terms of constraints for homeostatic control.
Week 1
NP01 Mass flow of nutrients
Human digestive system:
Once you swallow you have hardly any influence on the fate of the food/drink, it’s all
regulated inside the body:
- digestion and absorption
- storage
- utilisation
Body will determine when storage goes up or down and vice versa with utilisation.
Enzymes make us able to digest (protein).
, - To hydrolyse without enzymes: 10-12 hour, 12 mol/L, 105C -> random peptide bonds
- To hydrolyse with enzymes: 1-2 hours at 37C -> specific bonds by specific enzymes
Why does the digestive system not digest itself?
- activity restricted to presence of food
- regulation (local, dstal, proximal)
- enzymes stored as inactive proenzymes (zymogens)
- non-digestible mucus coats the wall
- high replacement rate (turnover) of mucosal cells
-> All have an influence on metabolic settings.
Settings of metabolism:
- Digestion to and absorption of monomers
- Intermediary metabolism;
- Interconversions of absorbed monomers
- Anabolic reactions (e.g. protein metabolism): Synthesis/making of body
constituents/stores
- Catabolic reactions (energy/ATP/heat): Release of energy from food or body
constituents/stores
- Un avoidable waste products
- Time scale of events (PP vs. PA)
- Physiological adaptation
Thermogenic effects of a meal (meaning that there is diet-induced thermogenesis = DIT):
- Postprandial metabolism (PPM) increases heat production (5-20% ingested ME =
metabolised energy)
- Effects depends on ingested nutrients: protein > CHO > fat
- Ingested ME is not corrected for energetic cost of PPM
