Discussion of the Metabolic and Hormonal effects of Very Low Carbohydrate Diets 1.0 Summary Low carbohydrate‚ high protein diets have been raising concerns within medicine for quite some time. There is quite some conflicting evidence regarding the benefits and detrimental effects that these diets may have on metabolic and whole body health. Bone and Calcium loss – Why does a low Carbohydrate diet affect bone? Carbohydrates‚ if highly eliminated from the diet‚ are most frequently replaced with

Pre-lab 1: Identifying Carbohydrates Abstract The point of this lab is to determine if a substance contains carbohydrates such as a reducing sugar and/or polysaccharides. This will be done by using Benedict’s reagent and Iodine stain tests. Benedict’s reagent will react to reducing substances in the solution by oxidizing it and changing the structure of the reducing sugar to form a colored precipitate. The color of this precipitate can be used to determine the concentration of reducing sugars in

Without a good supply of carbohydrates as glycogen in the muscles and liver‚ and frequent supplies with food and drink‚ it reduces the amount of time that can be sustained a moderate or intense physical effort. Who takes part in events that last for over an hour must pay particular attention to supply meals and snacks rich in carbohydrates. Dehydration impairs performance and athletes should not lose more than 2% of body weight during

The importance of carbohydrates in living organisms Carbohydrates contain carbon‚ hydrogen and oxygen in the ratio of 1.2.1.. There are many different types of carbohydrate‚ all of which are useful to living organisms. The most important carbohydrate is probable glucose. Glucose is a monosaccharide and is the monomer unit which makes up more complex polysaccharides. Two glucose molecules can be joined in a condensation reaction‚ whereby water is removed‚ for example to produce maltose‚ a disaccharide

Analysis: Lab 1 Identifying Carbohydrates There were many ranges of color changes in the Benedicts test and Iodine stain. For the Benedicts test‚ this oxidation/reduction response changes the arrangement of the reducing sugar creating a colored precipitate. The change in color is correlated to the first concentration of the reducing sugar. For the iodine test‚ the three dimensional structure of various polysaccharides permits them to react with the iodine stain to produce a certain color. As far

We have four important macromolecules; carbohydrates‚ lipids‚ proteins‚ and nucleic acids. From these four‚ the macromolecule I chose for this assignment was carbohydrate. Carbohydrates branch off into three main categories; monosaccharides‚ disaccharides‚ and polysaccharides. I decided to focus on disaccharides‚ specifically sucrose. Sucrose is more commonly known as table sugar. It has a chemical formula of C12H22O11. It is physically described as a white‚ odorless (although when heated‚ it may

Carbohydrate Biking for Ultimate Weight loss It appears to me which practically every crash diet out there enjoys to provide carbohydrates a discredit and totally concentrate on eliminating the macronutrient altogether-or a minimum of keeping your carbohydrate consumption as very little as possible.But‚ exactly what if I were to inform you that carbohydrates are incredibly handy in shedding fat and increasing your metabolism?If you have actually come across the term Carb Cycling previously‚ opportunities

T2:BIOCHEMISTRY AND ANALYSIS:DETECTION OF FATS‚PROTEINS AND CARBOHYDRATES OBJECTIVE The main purpose of the experiment is to understand some general tests that detect fats‚proteins and carbohydrates in foods. INTRODUCTION Carbohydrates are also known as sacharides. There are 4 main groups of carbohydrates‚which are monosaccharides‚ disaccharides‚ oligosaccharides and polysaccharides. Carbohydrates play an important role in living organism as it is the energy storage‚ and it also plays

Through this investigation we found no effect in carbohydrate mouth rinsing on exercise performance. On the contrary to our hypothesis‚ there was no significant difference in distance cycled between those who carbohydrate mouth rinsed and the control (Fig. 1.). In addition‚ we also found that there was no significant difference in HR throughout the entire investigation between treatment groups (Fig. 2.). These exercise performance results is inconsistent with those results obtained by Carter et

D_____ J_____ CARBOHYDRATES LAB May 22‚ 2013 Pre-lab Questions 1. The water in test tube No. 1 is a negative control. No reaction is expected to occur because water is not a carbohydrate. Reaction by a negative control is evidence of contamination. 2. The color changes expected for positive test results are Benedict’s test: orange to brick red Tollen’s test: metallic silver Starch iodine test: blue-black 3.
