Presentation Transcript


  1. Protein: Amino AcidsChapter 6

  2. Amino Acid “R”

  3. Amino Acids • Essential amino acids • i.e. indispensable amino acids • PVT. TIM HALL (or PVT. MAT HILL) • Nonessential amino acids • i.e. dispensable amino acids • “Conditionally” essential amino acids

  4. An Essential Amino Acid

  5. Nonessential Amino Acids

  6. Proteins Remember Condendation? • Dipeptide

  7. Tripeptide: Yes...it’s three of ‘em.

  8. Proteins • Polypeptide

  9. Proteins • Amino acid sequences • With 20 different amino acids you can say a lot!

  10. Protein shape and function

  11. Proteins • Protein denaturation • uncoiling • heat or acid hydrolysis. • loss of function

  12. Protein Digestion • Stomach • HCl activated pepsinogen (proteolytic enzyme) • Pepsinogen*  pepsin • Pepsin hydrolyzes proteins! *Proenzyme-an inactive form of enzyme!

  13. Protein Digestion • Small intestine • Proteases-more hydrolysis! • Intestinal and pancreatic • Peptidases

  14. Protein Digestion in the GI Tract

  15. Protein Absorption • Carriers • Capillaries • Absorption misconceptions • Enzyme/amino acid supplements

  16. Protein Synthesis • Sequencing errors

  17. Roles of Proteins • Building material • Growth • Maintenance

  18. Roles of Proteins • Enzymes

  19. Roles of Proteins • Hormones

  20. Roles of Proteins • Regulation of fluid balance • Edema • Acid-base regulation • Acidosis • Alkalosis

  21. Transport Proteins One of the most important proteins in your body! The Sodium-Potassium Pump in action!

  22. Roles of Proteins • Immunity • Antibodies • Antigens

  23. Protein Metabolism • Protein turnover • Amino acid pool • Nitrogen balance • Positive nitrogen balance • Negative nitrogen balance

  24. Protein Metabolism • Using amino acids to make proteins • Using amino acids to make nonessential amino acids

  25. Protein Metabolism • Using amino acids to make other compounds • Neurotransmitters

  26. Protein Metabolism • Using amino acids for energy and glucose • Deamination-removal of NH3 • Using amino acids to make fat

  27. Protein Quality • High-quality proteins • Digestibility • Animal (90%) vs. plant (70%) • Amino acid composition • Limiting amino acid

  28. Protein Quality • Reference protein • Complementary proteins

  29. Protein Quality • PDCAAS • Protein- digestibility-corrected-amino- acid-score

  30. Protein-Energy Malnutrition (PEM) • Acute PEM • Chronic PEM

  31. Protein-Energy Malnutrition (PEM) • Marasmus • Kwashiorkor • Marasmus-kwashiorkor mix

  32. Protein-Energy Malnutrition (PEM) • Infections • Dysentery • Rehabilitation-can they recover?

  33. Health Effects • Heart disease • Cancer • Adult bone loss • osteoporosis

  34. Health Effects • Weight control • Kidney disease?

  35. Recommended Intakes Daily Value • 50 g protein • 10% of a 2000 kcal diet • RDA • 0.8 g/kg/day • 10% - 35% of energy intake

  36. Recommended Intakes • Adequate intake • Protein in abundance

  37. Supplements • Protein supplements • Amino acid supplements

  38. Vegetarian Diets

  39. Vegetarian Diets • Diet planning • Protein • Lacto-ovo-vegetarians • Meat replacements • Texturized vegetable protein-basically soybeans

  40. Vegetarian Diets • Vitamins and minerals • Lactovegetarians-easier to meet calcium/vit. D requirements • Vegans-supplements likely needed. • Omega-3 fatty acids also needed.

  41. Vegetarian Diets • Vegetarian diets through the life span • Pregnancy and lactation • Infancy • Childhood and adolescence
