Glucose is a form of energy derived from carbohydrates. All living organisms requires energy to live and thrive. When glucose is ingested it is transported through the circulatory system by the various tissues and organs. This glucose will be used by the muscular and nervous system to complete day to day task. If the body is not in need of glucose it will be stored in the form of glycogen for a later date. The entire process starts with carbohydrates‚ for this paper we will be tracing the path of

Carbohydrate Counting & Diabetes What is carbohydrate counting? Carbohydrate counting‚ also called carb counting‚ is a meal planning tool for people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. Carbohydrate counting involves keeping track of the amount of carbohydrate in the foods you eat each day. Why count carbohydrates? • To follow a meal plan. • To use in insulin-to-carb meal ratio. • Portion control and body weight control. What Are Carbohydrates? Carbohydrates are one of the main nutrients found in food

The term metabolism is often used to indicate especially the breakdown of food and its transformation into energy. Although weight loss is a matter of sacrifice‚ the reality is that there is a bunch of ways to lose weight quickly. One is to increase metabolism which will help us gain the results so quickly. But how you can speed up metabolism? Big Question! But don’t worry. Here we show 6 ideas for you how to increase metabolism faster. 6 ways to increase metabolism/ foods that increase metabolism

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

Carbohydrates serve as two main objectives in the human body to either help digest foods or to help provide energy. Fiber is a type of carbohydrate is necessary to have a regular digestive system. Majority types of carbohydrates such as sugars and starches can break down glucose to be used as energy. The movie‚ King Corn‚ is about two best friends and an acre of corn in Iowa. A small ear of corn contains 23 grams of carbohydrates. Corn can be transformed and be used in several different ways. In

Anabolism and Catabolism Anabolism and catabolism are two phases of the human body’s metabolic process. Metabolism is a process that is essential for humans to live a healthy and productive life. The anabolism phase is the process where the body builds up the needed molecules. This phase requires energy in order to complete the process. Catabolism releases energy that can be used by the organism. This phase is the process of breaking down the complex molecules into smaller portions. These two

non-amino acid carbon skeletons into amino acids and other derivatives that contain nitrogen. However‚ the liver is the major site of nitrogen metabolism in the body. In times of dietary surplus‚ the potentially toxic nitrogen of amino acids is eliminated via transaminations‚ deamination‚ and urea formation; the carbon skeletons are generally conserved as carbohydrate‚ via gluconeogenesis‚ or as fatty acid via fatty acid synthesis pathways. In this respect amino acids fall into three categories: glucogenic

The Role of ATP in cellular metabolism Cells are required to carry out thousands and thousands of chemical reactions just so everything will remain functioning properly. Every reaction carried out requires energy from a particular source. Cells have come up with their own way of doing this in very well-organized metabolic systems. Each cell type has its own variation of the precise mechanisms. Animals receive energy through aerobic respiration‚ where as plants deliver energy through the act of

Metabolism: Existed evidence notified that changed in the metabolic processes including oxidative stress‚ mitochondrial metabolism and absorption of glucose is concerned to altered MSC differentiation. Mitochondrial metabolism and ROS generation play crucial roles in adipogenic differentiation [37‚ 47-49]. It has been investigated that exogenous hydrogen peroxide increased adipogenic differentiation of MSCs‚ while mitochondrial-targeted antioxidants decreased it. Moreover‚ ROS that generated through
