How Sugar Affects the Body in Motion By GRETCHEN REYNOLDS Gary John Norman/Getty Images Sugar is getting a bad reputation. A cover article in The New York Times Magazine several weeks ago persuasively reported that our national overindulgence in fructose and other sugars is driving the epidemics of obesity‚ diabetes and other illnesses. But that much-discussed article‚ by the writer Gary Taubes‚ focused on how sugars like fructose affect the body in general. It had little opportunity to examine

during carbohydrate metabolism. Hydrogen is released and glucose is metabolized to pyruvic acid. In the presence of oxygen‚ the pyruvic acid is converted into acetyl coenzyme A. (Acetyl CoA). 1 mole of glucose produce 2 moles of ATP or 1 mole of glycogen produces 3 moles of ATP. * In the Kreb Cycle system‚ once the acetyl CoA is formed‚ it enters the krebs cycle‚ a complex series of chemical reactions that permit the complete oxidation of acetyl coenzyme A. in this process‚ the carbohydrate has

Diffusion through a Membrane Introduction Molecules are constantly moving. They move in straight lines unless they are deflected by other molecules or obstacles in their environment. Diffusion is the process by which the collisions between molecules cause them to continually spread apart from each other. Their movement can be described as movement from an area of greater concentration to an area of lower concentration. Diffusion continues until the molecules are equally distributed

Composition Tables that show dairy products are rich sources of BCAAs and whey protein isolate is a leading source of leucine. The author cites several studies that give increasing evidence that BCAAs‚ specifically leucine‚ have a unique affect on metabolism that includes regulation of muscle protein synthesis and glucose homeostasis. The impact of BCAAs is proportional to availability and dietary intake. Layman DK. The role of leucine in weight loss diets and glucose homeostasis. Journal of Nutrition
