NTR 150 Week Four Reading Chapter 5 Lipids NOTE: SKIP the Focus on Alcohol information. We will cover that information later! Objectives • • • • • • • • • • Describe America's changing fat intake over the past 50 years. Discuss how fat intake is linked to risk of several chronic diseases. List the functions of triglycerides and cholesterols. Describe what factor determines how saturated a fat (or more correctly, a fatty acid) is. Name several food sources of the following: ◦ saturated fatty acids ◦ monounsaturated fatty acids ◦ omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids ◦ omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids Briefly describe how triglycerides are digested, absorbed and transported in the body. Discuss the how fats in your diet relate to the different types of blood cholesterol (otherwise known as blood lipids): LDL, VLDL and HDL. How these types of blood lipids relate to your risk of heart disease. List the functions of lipids in the body. Briefly describe the relation of lipids to each of the following: cardiovascular disease, cancer and obesity. List the recommendations for the following: ◦ total fat ◦ saturated fat ◦ omega-3 polyunsaturated fat (also known as linolenic acid) ◦ omega-6 polyunsaturated fat (otherwise known as linoleic acid) Terms • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • lipid triglyceride fatty acid saturated fatty acid polyunsaturated fatty acid omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid monounsaturated fatty acid essential fatty acid (EFA) hydrogenation trans fatty acid cholesterol lipoprotein chylomicron very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) low density lipoprotein (LDL) high density lipoprotein (HDL) LDL receptor Reading Chapter 6 Proteins Objectives • • • • • • • • • Describe how protein-rich food choices determine intakes of nutrients like fiber and fat. Describe the basic structure of an amino acid. Briefly describe how proteins are digested, absorbed and synthesized. Name four functions of body proteins. Describe the symptoms of Protein Energy Malnutrition (PEM), both types: kwashiorkor and marasmus. Name the potential risks of excessive protein intake. Briefly describe how protein needs are determined. Use the table on page 241 (Table 6.2) to determine protein requirements for yourself and someone else (with a different RDA for protein that yours). List several benefits of a vegetarian (or plant-based) diet.
