Smartphones, Tablets or Laptops Energy Metabolism
Identify caloric yield from the three macronutrients.
○ Carbs: 4 kcal/g, Fats: 9 kcal/g, Proteins: 4 kcal/g
Identify caloric content released when splitting one molecule of ATP.
○ 7.3 kcal of energy
Explain which programming variable (i.e., volume or intensity) influences fuel utilization most significantly.
○ intensity
■ Intensity requires a more efficient fuel source. When you increase intensity, you need carbs. Compared to fat utilization at lower intensities
Explain the basic role and timing of use of each energy system.

● Identify carbohydrate storage locations and quantities.
○ Blood glucose: 515 g (in small quantities because blood stream is a delivery system that allows us to deliver glucose to vital organs like the brain and CNS)
○ Liver: 90110g (replenished as we eat daily, our reserve for when blood sugar drops) ○ Muscle tissue: 250600g
○ Total= 2000 kcal
● Define basic energy pathway terminology (e.g., lipolysis, gluconeogenesis).
○ Lipolysis
: Fat oxidation requires mobilization of stored triglycerides process of breaking down stored fats in fat cells to FA + glycerol
○ Gluconeogenesis
: Transformation of glycogen to glucose or pyruvate occurs in the liver a metabolic pathway that results in generation of glucose from noncarbohydrate sources (pyruvate)
○ Ketogenesis
: Accumulation of excess AcetylCoA (from FFA breakdown or not enough oxaloacetate) results in build up of ketone bodies (KB)
○ Amino acid deamination:
■ Remove amino groups for glucogenic or ketogenic amino acids:
■ Glucogenic have ability to be converted to glucose thru pyruvate
(manufacture of glucose from noncarbohydrate source =
Gluconeogenesis).
■ Ketogenic can only be converted to intermediate products that feed into metabolic pathways to make energy or FFAs.
Converted to acetylCoA
(energy).
● Explain the meaning behind the terms ‘caloric quantity’ and ‘caloric quality’.
○ quantity = how many calories you burn total overall despite their source
○ quality = where the kcals are coming from (fat/carb/amino acids)
● Discuss the role of lactate production. •
Pyruvate suffers 2 fates:
○ Most is shuttled to the mitochondria to continue oxidative metabolism
(aerobic
pathway).
Amount determined by O availability.
2
○ Excess (beyond aerobic pathway capacity/ when low O is present) is converted to
2
lactate
(anaerobic) called
Glycolytic Flux
.
Hydrogen ions from step 6 (slide 39 Module 1ppt) binds with pyruvate to form lactate.
+
• Glycolysis depends upon H ions being picked up by NAD (step6).
+
+
○ Inability to remove accumulating H ions forces lactate formation to remove H
.
○ The formation of lactate from pyruvate is catalyzed by lactate dehydrogenase by adding 2 hydrogen ions:
+
NADH + Pyruvate←(LDH enzyme)→ NAD + Lactate
2
○ Converted back to pyruvate and used for ATP or glucose
■ Lactate
