Muscular Dystrophy: any of a group of hereditary diseases marked by progressive wasting of certain "muscles." (Oxford) A general term for a group of inherited disorders which are characterized by progressive degeneration of skeletal muscles. A group of inherited progressive muscle disorders characterized by muscle weakness and eventual death of the muscle tissues. Examples include “Duchenne muscular dystrophy” and “Becker’s muscular dystrophy.” (NCIt) All of the muscles may be affected. Or‚ only

is fueled. The human body uses carbohydrate as the primary source of energy for sustained‚ strenuous physical activity. In fact‚ some fifty-percent of the energy your body uses comes from carbohydrates‚ specifically glucose‚ and its storage form‚ glycogen (Rady Rolfes‚ Pinna‚ and Whitney‚ 2006). That is the energy you are using while you exercise‚ while your body will burn more fat for energy when you are at rest. It is of utmost importance to make sure enough carbohydrate is included in your diet

concentration in the blood is interceded by the human body via negative feedback mechanism to maintain homeostasis of the body. Free glucose can be produced from fat‚ gluconeogenesis from proteins and glycogenolysis in liver and glucose is stored as glycogen in the muscle tissues. The human body intends to maintain a stable glucose concentration

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

Case Study 1 1.) Define hypoglycemia. What are hypoglycemic blood glucose values in an adult? Hypoglycemia: Low blood glucose level that results from too much insulin‚ not enough food‚ or excess activity. It is defined as the presence of Whipple’s triad: manifestations consistent with low blood glucose‚ a low plasma glucose concentration‚ and resolution of symptoms or signs after plasma glucose concentration is raised. Four common causes are: 1.) excess insulin‚ 2.) deficient intake or absorption

QUESTIONS 1. What are other sources of glycogen? Of starch? a. Other sources of glycogen- Aside from the liver‚ it can also be found in skeletal muscles (for energy during strenuous exercise). It also occurs in tissues including adipose tissues‚ heart muscles‚ kidneys and the brain. It is also found in yeast‚ bacteria‚ fungi‚ molds and algae‚ oysters‚ and shellfish. b. Other sources of starch- Foods that are high in starch include breads‚ grains‚ cereals‚ pasta‚ rice‚ potatoes‚ peas

Carbs can be converted to fat‚ however lipogenesis from glucose is less effective o Weight gain from CHO thought to be caused by sparing lipolysis rather than direct CHO lipogenesis o PDH Complex main link of glucose metabolism to FA synthesis (pyruvate acetyl CoA) Most AAs can serve as precursors for fat synthesis
