Chapter 1 – Metabolic Fuels
Review
Triglycerides
Β-oxidation
Glycolysis
Cells require ATP for normal function
of everyday processes, including
biosynthetic reactions, muscle contraction,
active transport.
Proteins
Starch and glycogen are both homopolymers of only glucose, the predominant sugar
in the blood.
Sucrose and Lactose are both
disaccharides while fructose,
glucose, and galactose are all
monosaccharides.
Lactose
The proteins – made from 20 different amino acids
Composed of the amide or peptide bond.
Proteins are heteropolymers of different AAs
Composed primarily of C, H, O, and N, having 16% N by weight.
Metabolize for energy
Or build own proteins
Fats – Dietary fat composed of Triacylglycerols (aka triglycerides) which consist
Of 3 fatty acids esterified to a glycerol molecule
Storage fat
3-carbon
backbone
used in
gluconeogenesis
Fatty acids
To be metabolized
by β-oxidation
to yield ketone
bodies
Our friend, ethanol (EtOH)
Also considered part of dietary intake,
more than proteins and carbohydrates
(next slide)
Table 1.1 Caloric
Content of Fuels
kcal/g
Carbohydrate
4
Fat
9
Fats contain much less O/H2O = more reduced, yield more energy
when oxidized!
Protein
4
Oxidation of proteins to CO2, H2O, NH4+
Alcohol
7
Even our friend EtOH yields more than protein and carbs
Carbs contain significant amounts of oxygen = partially oxidized
Bottom line: must know this slide!
Liver glycogen
0.08kg (0.2%)
(Fuel storage b/w meals)
Protein
6kg (14.5%)
(Has many functions)
Muscle glycogen
0.15kg (0.4%)
(Muscle glycogen for
muscle contraction only)
Fat
15kg (85%)
(Only contains
15% water!)
A 70kg man after an overnight fast will yield this in fuel consumption
18kg fat = 34kg glycogen + 136kg H2O = 170kg man
Daily Energy Expenditure = Resting Metabolic Rate + Diet-induced Thermogenesis
i.e. DEE = RMR + DIT
RMR, the energy required to maintain life functions (differs from BMR very little)
Basal metabolic rate (BMR) expressed in kcal/day: affected by size, age, sex, other factors
(think metabolically active tissue)
↓ for women (more inactive adipose tissue), ↑ for men
Temperature affects BMR
HYPERthyroidism = excessive thyroid hormone > more heat, i.e. BMR ↑
HYPOthyroidism = insufficient thyroid hormone > less heat, i.e. BMR ↓
Children/pregnant women are growing, so BMR ↑
Aging people are not so active, so BMR ↓
BMR – assume 24kcal/day/kg body weight
Sedentary
Uses only 30% RMR/day
Physical exercise
Can use 60% to 70% RMR/day with about
two hours of moderate exercise
100% with several hours of exercise
Medical student
I CAN SEE THIS BEING ASKED

[height (m)]²
Underweight is below 18.5
Average is 20-25

FACTORS AFFECTING BMR, a recap!
•Gender (males > females)
•Body temperature (> w/fever)
•Environmental temperature (>in cold)
•Thyroid status (>in hyperthyroidism)
•Pregnancy/lactation (>)
•Age (>in childhood)
•Diet-induced Thermogenesis – energy lost as heat due to the energy
needed for digestion is about 10% of calories taken in
•Adipose mass generally does not contribute to BMR
and therefore calculations for obese individuals are not accurate
(also a person who is very muscular may be classified as obese when
they are not)
Daily Energy Expenditure (DEE) = BMR + physical activity
For student/no exercise
= 72.9(1*8 + 1.5*16) = 2327kcal/day
+1 hr moderate exercise
= 72.9(1*8 + 1.5*15 + 1*5)+ = 2588kcal/day
(1750kcal/day/24hrs = 72.9kcal/hr)
Table 1.5 Typical Activities With Corresponding Hourly Activity Factors
Activity Category
Resting: sleeping, reclining
Hourly Activity Factor (for Time in Activity)
1.0
Very light: seated and standing activities, driving, laboratory work, keyboarding,
sewing, ironing, cooking, playing cards, playing a musical instrument
1.5
Light: walking on a level surface at 2.5 to 3 mph, garage work, electrical trades,
carpentry, restaurant trades, house cleaning, golf, sailing, table tennis
2.5
Moderate: walking 3.5 to 4 mph, weeding and hoeing, carrying loads, cycling,
skiing, tennis, dancing
5.0
Heavy: walking uphill with a load, tree felling, heavy manual digging, mountain
climbing, basketball, football, soccer
7.0
The hourly activity factor is multiplied by the basal metabolic rate, BMR (resting metabolic rate, RMR) per hour times the number of
hours engaged in the activity to give the caloric expenditure for that activity. If this is done for all of the hours in a day, the sum over 24
hours will approximately equal the daily energy expenditure.

Nota bene:
One hour on

The moral of the story IS:
Calories in=3267
Calories out=2588
If all this goes to fat
679kcal/9kcal/g
=75.4g = 0.0754kg = 0.165lbs
Difference= +679kcal/day
Pounds per year
0.165lbs x 365days
= 60.5lbs/yr weight gain!!
Calories in=2167
Calories out=2588
Difference= -412kcal/day
If all this is removed from fat
412kcal/9kcal/g
=46.78g = 0.04678kg = 0.103lbs
Pounds per year
0.103lbs x 365days
= ~40lbs/yr weight loss!!
What we need:
•Carbohydrates – elimination causes health problems; low-carb must have high-fat = obesity
