EDKP 395 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Intramuscular Fat, Lipase, Vo2 Max
Document Summary
Cho are made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms. Cho exists in 3 forms: monosaccharide: simple sugars (ex: glucose, fructose, galactose, disaccharide: formed by combining 2 monosaccharides (ex: sucrose, lactose, maltose, polysaccharide: complex cho containing 3+ monosaccharides (ex: starch, glycogen) Glycogen storage reservoir for carbs and energy. Glucogenesis: glycogen synthesis from glucose in mammalian muscle and liver cells (glucose glycogen, catalyzed by the enzyme glycogen synthase) Gluconeogenesis: glucose synthesis largely from structural components of noncarbohydrate nutrients (protein glucose) Glycogenolysis: glucose formation from glycogen (glycogen glucose) Carbs alone is 2012 kcal: moderate to high intensity (20-25 km run) on these stores alone, exhaustible energy source. If body mass is 100 kilo for ex: 30% fat, you have 30 kg of carbs, which is a much smaller contribution to your total body mass. Like cho, fats are made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms; however, the ratio of carbon to oxygen is higher in fats versus cho.
