Effect of Protein Intake on Strength‚ Body Composition and Endocrine Changes in Strength/Power Athletes Introduction: Proteins are often called the building blocks of the body. Protein consists of combinations of structures called amino acids that combine in various ways to make muscles‚ bone‚ tendons‚ skin‚ hair‚ and other tissues. They serve other functions as well including nutrient transportation and enzyme production. Adequate‚ regular protein intake is essential because it isn’t easily

Mortality rate is a measure of the number of deaths (in general‚ or due to a specific cause) in a population‚ scaled to the size of that population‚ per unit of time. Mortality rate is typically expressed in units of deaths per 1000 individuals per year; thus‚ a mortality rate of 9.5 (out of 1000) in a population of 1‚000 would mean 9.5 deaths per year in that entire population‚ or 0.95% out of the total. It is distinct from morbidity rate‚ which refers to the number of individuals in poor health

The Biological Importance of Lipids Lipids are organic compounds found in all types of plant and animal cells. They always contain carbon‚ hydrogen and oxygen‚ however the relative amount of oxygen is less than the amount of carbohydrates in lipids. Lipids are polymers and the long chains of repeating units are joined together in a condensation reaction where water is also produced. The most common types of lipids are triglycerides‚ phospholipids and waxes. Triglycerides are formed by three fatty

The Chemistry of Lipids Experiment #8 Objective To observe the solubility of lipids in polar and nonpolar solvents and to compare saturated and unsaturated fats in their chemical reaction with bromine. The percent fat in a food will be determined by extraction of the fat and weighing it. Introduction Lipids‚ by definition‚ are natural substances that do not mix with water but dissolve in organic solvents. There are several classes of lipids‚ including: fatty acids‚ waxes‚ triacylglycerols

Carbohydrate Metabolism Carbohydrate metabolism starts with digestion in the small intestines. This is the site where monosaccharides are absorbed into the blood stream. This type of metabolism is basically considered to be glucose metabolism because carbohydrates are eventually broken down into glucose so that it can diffuse into the blood stream. There are three hormones in the body that control the concentration on glucose in the body: Insulin‚ glucagon‚ and epinephrine. If sugars are too
