Document Summary
*something high in fiber (alfalpha meal) will lower the energy density of the diet. Relationship between feed and energy intake and energy density of the diet. Glucostatic theory: animals monitor the glucose amount in the blood. As the blood glucose level decreases, the intake of the animal increases. Aminostatic theory: amino acid concentration in the blood is monitored, and when it decreases, the intake increases. Occurs when calories in are greater than calories out. Average americans gain 1lb/year as they get older. Adipose tissue: 85% lipid, 10-12% water, and 3-4% protein, 1lbs of adipose tissue = 386 grams of lipid = 3500 kcal. Name comes from moving nutrients that would have gone in one area to another. Compounds that shift nutrients from adipose tissue and toward muscle. Muscle (mostly water) verses adipose (mostly lipid) = improved feed:gain: lipid goes to adipose tissue which goes to mostly dry matter, protein goes to lean muscle which is 70-75% water.
