Summary Introduction
To review: the blood FFA levels in the groups provided and the overall effects of feeding the glucose on the
Given:
The graph below shows the data of glucose and placebo levels in the blood with respect to the exercise time:
The blood FFA levels on the placebo and glucose solution are shown below:
Introduction:
Free fatty acids are basically the prime fat fuel present in the body and when these get increased in the blood then they are known to increase the risk of heart problems and it may be by causing the insulin resistance and increasing the pressure of the blood.

Group of answer choices True Falsearrow_forwardResearch shows that weight loss attempts are more effective when glycemic index and glycemic load of the diet are controlled.arrow_forward
- When the concentration of glucose in the blood falls below a certain level the body issues a signal to allow stored glucose to enter the blood after a short time the body has established a normal concentration of glucose what does this action illustratesarrow_forwardPlot the concentration of glucose against time. Based on the graph, indicate which patient is diabetic, pre-diabetic and experiencing glucose tolerance within the normal range.arrow_forwardIntermittent fasting is popular now as an eating pattern for weight loss. Under the fasting conditions, the body does not have incoming food and must use available stores for energy production. Give at least three available stores of energy. Which will be depleted first?arrow_forward
- The crash diet or “no food” diet leads to rapid weight loss for the first 10-14 days and then weightloss slows dramatically. Explain these phenomena.arrow_forwardThe information of Subject A is as follows Gender Age Height WeightFemale 28 160cm 153lb (a) Define basal metabolism. Estimate the Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) of Subject A (state how you estimate it). (b) Calculate the Body mass index (BMI) of Subject A. What is the weight classification of Subject A? Based on the BMI calculated, give detailed recommendations for this subject to become healthier and explain. (c) Subject A chose to have stir-fried beef & spinach for her lunch to increase the iron intake and thus lower the risk of iron deficiency. Suggest why she will choose this dish? (Support the answer with data). Explain if there is any difference between the iron source in beef and spinach.arrow_forwardDescribe some of the most important regulatory mechanisms that underlie the use of glucose but not fatty acids in the postprandial state AND the use of fatty acids but not glucose in starvation.arrow_forward
- Predict some of the consequences of a deficiencyof a given nutrient.arrow_forwardThe “milkshake studies” described in lecture ways that the eating of dieters differs from non-dieters. Name two of these differences and explain why these differences are important in understanding the long-term effectiveness of dieting.arrow_forwardIn a fees trial an animal was fed 24kg of dry hay and it excreted 12.5 kg of dry manure . Of this hay was 11.5 digested and absorbed , calculate the digestibility co-efficient of this hayarrow_forward
