Document Summary
Where are nutrients required for pregnancy going? (1) nutrients required for uterus, placenta and fetus (2) mammary requirements: metabolic and nutritional impact of pregnancy on the dam depends on, ratio of fetal weight/maternal weight, gestation length. Humans are longer than predicted because we have such a need for brain development. Nutritional requirements differ by stage of pregnancy: early pregnancy, under and over feeding can cause serious issues. Beef implants if dam is short of nutrients during gestation she will prioritize supporting the fetus over other tissues. Increases obesity and insulin resistance: high fat diets in male rats then increased insulin resistance in adult offspring, explained by epigenetics. Proteins: all proteins are nitrogenous compounds of nutritional importance, all proteins contain n, proteins-long chains of aa. Exam 3: peptides-short chains of aa, amino acids, non protein n, not a true protein, not an amino acid, ammonia and urea.
