    Study Notes

    Energy Balance

    • Energy from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins is converted to ATP through metabolic reactions
    • Processes include breaking down macronutrients and using released energy to synthesize ATP
    • Total energy expenditure (TEE) includes basal metabolism (60-75%), physical activity (15-30%), and thermic effect of food (10%)
    • Basal metabolism includes involuntary bodily functions like breathing, circulation, and temperature regulation
    • Physical activity includes planned exercise and daily activities (NEAT)
    • Thermic effect of food is the energy needed for digesting, absorbing, and storing nutrients
    • Excess energy is stored as glycogen (in liver and muscles) or triglycerides (in adipose tissue)

    Storage of Excess Dietary Energy

    • Excess energy is stored as glycogen, primarily when carbohydrate intake is sufficient
    • Glycogen is stored in the liver and muscles
    • Triglycerides are stored in fat cells (adipocytes)
    • Adipocytes can grow or shrink based on fat accumulation

    Measuring Energy Expenditure

    • Methods for measuring energy expenditure include direct and indirect calorimetry, and doubly labeled water
    • Direct calorimetry measures the heat produced by the body in an insulated chamber
    • Indirect calorimetry measures oxygen use and carbon dioxide production by measuring breathing
    • Doubly labeled water measures total energy expenditure using isotopes of oxygen and hydrogen

    Factors Influencing Energy Expenditure

    • Body weight and composition
    • Gender
    • Age
    • Growth rate (in children)
    • Body temperature
    • Thyroid hormone levels
    • Energy intake (calories consumed)
    • Physical activity levels
    • Genetic factors influence body weight, metabolic rate, body fat distribution, and appetite regulation
    • More than 50 genes are associated with obesity
    • Food intake, satiety, and energy expenditure can be impacted by genetic factors
    • Environmental factors and lifestyle choices affect individual weight
    • Gene-environment interactions influence how genetic factors are expressed

    Description

    This quiz covers the processes of energy conversion from macronutrients like carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into ATP. It explores total energy expenditure, including basal metabolism, physical activity, and the thermic effect of food, as well as how excess dietary energy is stored in the body as glycogen and triglycerides.
