Question
Chapter 23, Problem 6P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Estimate how much more a person would weigh if excess energy were stored in the form ofcarbohydrate instead of fat
Introduction:
Once the glycogen stores are full, body stores excess energy from carbohydrate as fat. Along with this, excess energy from fat and protein intake is stored as fat as well. Adipose cells store this extra energy in the form of triglycerides.

Briefly describe the components of the four major types of lipoproteins and explain the function of each in relation to lipid metabolism in humans.
Most diets provide adequate levels of protein, even when trying to achieve protein intakes of 1.2 to 2 grams/kilogram of bodyweight. However, protein supplementation can be utilized in some instances. Discuss instances in which you think protein supplementation would make sense or be warranted?

Elevated plasma fatty acids have been implicated in the development of type 2 diabetes. How does this affect metabolism? O The influx of fatty acids to muscle cells shifts metabolism in that tissue toward glycolysis and away from B-oxidation. In addition, the liver is also increasing glycolysis and B-oxidation due to elevated fatty acids. O The influx of fatty acids to muscle cells shifts metabolism in that tissue toward amino acid metabolism and away from gluconeogenesis. In addition, the liver is increasing B-oxidation and gluconeogenesis due to elevated fatty acids. O The influx of fatty acids to muscle cells shifts metabolism in that tissue away from B-oxidation and toward gluconeogenesis.

Decreased dietary carbohydrates leads to decreased fatty acid oxidation and ketogenesis; decarboxylation of alpha-ketoglutarate generates acetone. Decreased dietary carbohydrates leads to increased fatty acid oxidation and gluconeogenesis; decarboxylation of pyruvate generates acetone.
