Document Summary

All energy yielding nutrients (protein, carbs, fat) can be broken down to acetyl coa. Acetyl coa can enter the tca cycle or it can make fat. Many of these reactions release h atoms with their electrons, which are carried by coenzymes to the. In the end, oxygen is consumed and water and co2 are produced, and energy is captured in atp. Some aa, pyruvate, and glycerol can be used to make glucose. Fatty acids cannot be used to make glucose. Excess carbs lipid displaced as fuel ( lipid deposition) Increase in diet protein increases in protein oxidation (beyond kcal and protein requirement body uses it as fuel) Excess protein is not stored (fa and tg is synthesized) Amino acids in excess form acetyl coa fatty acids. Increase in dietary fat increase fa oxidation. Carbs glucose liver and muscle glycogen stores or body fat stores. Fat fatty acids body fat stores.
