Study Notes
Protein, Lipids, Vitamins, and Minerals in Human Nutrition
- Proteins play crucial roles in bone structure, immunity, cell maintenance, and regulation of body processes
- Albumin is a key protein in blood, responsible for osmotic pressure; its deficit can lead to hypotonic blood and dehydration
- Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, with 9 essential amino acids that must be consumed through diet
- Different types of proteins include complete (from animal sources) and incomplete (usually from plant sources)
- Blood albumin and nitrogen balance are important clinical indicators for protein content and metabolic requirements
- Lipids, including saturated and unsaturated fats, serve as fuel supply, long-term energy storage, and cell membrane components
- Cholesterol, derived from animal sources, is crucial for cell membrane structure and steroid hormone production
- Emulsification, aided by bile, is essential for fat digestion and absorption of fat-soluble vitamins
- Lipid profile measurement is important for assessing cardiovascular health and risk of conditions like atherosclerosis
- Vitamins D, E, K, B1, B12, folic acid, and C play vital roles in various bodily functions and can lead to specific deficiencies
- Essential minerals like calcium, sodium, potassium, and iron are crucial for proper bodily functioning
- Sodium is the most important electrolyte for water balance and distribution in the body, and carbohydrates are first stored as glycogen before fat conversion; BUN measures kidney function and albumin determines osmotic pressure in blood
