To determine: The way by which biochemical pathways work to lead a cure for obesity.
Introduction: Over nutrition causes excess accumulation of body fat and leads to serious form of malnutrition called obesity. Obesity increases the risk of many health problems and diseases, such as heart-related diseases, diabetes, cancer, and so on. Overweight and obesity are the major problems faced by people of all age groups. The major cause for obesity is the combination of excessive food intake and lack of physical activity. Reducing food intake, losing weight with healthy diet, and regular exercise are useful for reducing the effect of obesity and related problems.

- Many distance runners “carb load” the day before a big race. How does this eating strategy provide an advantage to the runner? The carbohydrates cause the release of insulin. The excess carbohydrates are converted to fats, which have a higher calorie density. The glucose from the carbohydrates lets the muscles make excess ATP overnight The excess carbohydrates can be stored in the muscles as glycogen.arrow_forwardLet us see how much you have learned. 1. What are vitamins? 2. Differentiate water-soluble and fat-soluble vitamins? 3. What are the benefits and risks of taking supplements? 4. What are coenzymes?arrow_forwardIn the 1930's a chemical known as DNP was touted as en effective diet pill. Weight loss was dramatic in patients taking this drug. However, to quote Efraim Racker (A New Look at Mechanisms in Bioenergetics, Academic Press, 1976, p. 155), ..."the treatment eliminated not only the fat but also the patients,...This discouraged physicians for awhile..." This drug works for weight loss, by causing the leakage of H+ across the inner mitochondrial membrane. Which of the following would you expect to see in patients taking DNP? Select the best answer. Question options: decreased ability to produce ATP increased ability to produce ATP decreased ability to use Krebs cycle to produce ATP slowing down the citric acid cycle.arrow_forward

- Chapter 07 A Closer Look: Energy Metabolism Pathways High-intensity kickboxing for minutes Running a 5K race anaerobic After a meal, glucose, glycerol, and fatty acid aerobic are used by the body as needed and then stored. Later, as the body shifts from a state of being fed to a state of fasting, it begins drawing on these stores. Identify the body's fuel source as its metabolic pathways shift from feasting to fasting. Fuel for the body 2 to 3 hours after eating Fuel for the body after 24 hours of starvation Fuel for the brain 2 to 3 hours after eating Fuel for the brain after 24 hours of starvation Glycogen stores Body fat stores Body protein U 0 ☐ 0 0 0 Grade It Now Save & Continue Xarrow_forwardIf our body lack of insulin, is it mean the glucose in our blood is low concentration now. So is it will effect pathways in mucles cell like glycolysis, fatty acids synthesis, glycogen synthesis, gluconeogenesis (increase or decrease)? I know the liver can regconize that low or high concentration of blood glucose so insulin or glucagon can act as the signal for liver can know, but is the muscle cell can do it to? If not, how they know to adjust their pathways. And if our body lack of insulin, is the liver cells response same as glucagon signaling.arrow_forwardhGH is an important part of fat metabolism, muscle development, and bone growth. Synthetic hGH can be used to treat children and adults suffering from hGH deficiency. More recently, competitive athletes have began taking hGH in an attempt to improve athletic performance. The use of hGH for athletics is banned by many major sporting organizations. A recent study of 44 athletes who took daily injections of hGH over 20 days showed that, on average, the athletes gained 4.2 lbs of muscle, but the gain in muscle did not translate to increased athletic performance.Evaluate each statement regarding the use of hGH by competitive athletes to determine whether the statement is an example of an ethical, economical, societal, or environmental issue. Athletes who play professional sports should be encouraged to take synthetic hormones to improve performance because their job is to win. Athletes who took hGH did not improve their sport performance but did improve their appearance and marketability.…arrow_forward
- The regulation of the blood glucose level represents an important feedback loop in the hu- man body. After a meal, the blood glucose level becomes elevated, stimulating beta cells of the pancreas to release insulin into the blood. Excess glucose is then converted to glycogen in the liver, reducing blood glucose levels. Which of the following represents the stimulus in this feedback loop? A conversion of glucose into glycogen B с D elevation of the blood glucose level decrease in the blood glucose level release of insulin by the pancreasarrow_forwardDoes biochemistry involve nutrition? If so, which loading method, either carbohydrate or lipid, would be the best to utilize pre- and during aerobic performance? And how can carbohydrate or lipid loading negatively impact aerobic performance?arrow_forwardReflect on the metabolic theory of cancer and other chronic diseases (diabetes, CVD, obesity) a little deeper. Why is the ketogenic diet, and even other low-carb diets, helpful for so many different chronic diseases? Are these diets just fads or can their healthfulness be explained by our evolutionary history?arrow_forward
