  1. Carbohydrate Aulanni’am Laboratory of Biochemistry Brawijaya University

  2. Six Classes of Nutrients • Carbohydrate • Protein • Fat • Vitamins • Minerals • Water

  3. Carbohydrates and Relation to Health • Dietary fiber and prevention of chronic diseases • Carbohydrates and dental health • Carbohydrates and diabetes Carbohydrates and weight loss???

  4. Carbohydrates and Prevention of Chronic DiseasesHealth Benefits of Fiber Reduce the risk of • Heart disease • Diabetes • Diverticular disease (gastrointestinal / GI) Other • Relieves Constipation • Hemorrhoids • Lowers the GI/GL • Makes you feel full

  5. Complex Carbohydrates Starch digestible plant polysaccharide Fiber indigestible polysaccharide residues of food • Cannot be broken down by human digestive enzymes • some broken down by bacteria in the digestive tract • few, if any, calories because not digested • Examples: cellulose, hemicellulose, pectin, gums Polysaccharide: long chain of 10 or more glucose molecules linked together; the chains can be straight or branched; another term for complex carbohydrates

  6. Dietary Fiber • Components of the cell walls of plants • cereal grains, fruits, vegetables • Polymer of monosaccharides • Human digestive enzymes cannot break down • Cellulose = ~3000 glucose

  7. Dietary Fiber - Two groups • Insoluble • fibers that mostly do not dissolve in water • not digested by bacteria in the large intestine • Soluble • fibers that either dissolve or swell in water or • are metabolized by bacteria in the large intestines

  8. Fiber Sources

  9. Degree of polymerization • Monosaccharides • Storage, energy modules, metabolic intermediates • Disaccharides, trisaccharides • Storage • Oligosaccharides • Molecular Recognition • Polysaccharides • Structure, storage

  10. Fisher Projectionsof chiral monosaccharides • Next-to-bottom carbon hydroxyl extends to the right --- a D sugar; cf. with L amino acid

  11. fig 9-3a

  12. fig 9-3b

  13. Hemiacetal/-ketal structures of monosaccharides • Reaction of an aldehyde or ketone with an alcohol • favorable intramolecular reaction

  14. fig 9-5

  15. Intramolecular hemiacetals/ketals of monosaccharides are RINGS stereo chair open chain Haworth

  16. Anomers • Sugars that vary in configuration about the anomeric (aldehydic or ketonic) carbon • Convention:  = hydroxyl down,  = hydroxyl up

  17. fig 9-6

  18. Fig 9-7

  19. Hexose derivatives • Amino sugars • Acetamido sugars • Deoxy sugars • Fucose, rhamnose, abequose • Other glycosidic additives • Lactic acid • Oxidized sugars • Sugar phosphates

  20. Fig 9-9

  21. Reducing sugars • Aldehydes are oxidized by mild agents • Cu2+ + aldehyde (or -hydroxyketone)  Cu+ + acid • Disaccharides react more slowly

  22. Fig 9-10

  23. Disaccharides • Glycosidic linkage • Acetal (or ketal) formed. 2nd monosaccharide acts as an alcohol

  24. Fig 9-5 (repeat)

  25. Reducing • one anomeric C not glycosidically linked • Nonreducing • Both anomeric C’s linked (fructose, trehalose)

  26. Disaccharide nomenclature • Nonreducing end on left • Linkage –(nm)- • Reducing end Note that nonreducing end configuration is fixed Reducing end can mutarotate, thus 1st component given as - or -, 2nd ambiguous (next slide)

  27. Fig 9-11

  28. Table 9-1

  29. Important disaccharides • Maltose • Lactose • Sucrose • Trehalose

  30. Fig 9-12

  31. Table 9-2

  32. Storage polysaccharides • Plants • Starch • Amylose – llinear polyglucose, -1,4 linked (-D-glucopyranosyl-(14)-…), M ~ 106 • Amylopectin –polyglucose, -1,4 linked, -1,6 branched 1 per 24-30, M ~ 108 • Animals • Glycogen • polyglucose, -1,4 linked, -1,6 branched 1 per 24-30, M ~ 106

  35. fig 9-15

  36. Structural Polysaccharides • Plants • Cellulose – linear polyglucose •  1,4 linked • M ~ 106 • Certain exoskeletons • Chitin – linear poly(N-acetyl-D-glucosamine) •  1,4 linked

  37. Fig 9-17a and 9-18 Cellulose Chitin

  38. Structural polysaccharides, cont • Bacterial cell walls – peptidoglycans • Extracellular matrix of multicellular animals - glycosaminoglycans

  39. Fig 9-19

  40. Fig 9-20

  41. Sugar-protein and sugar-lipid conjugates • Glycoconjugates • Proteoglycans • Glycosaminoglycans bound to proteins • Glycoproteins • Oligosaccharides bound to proteins • Glycolipids • Oligosaccharides bound to lipids (heads of membrane lipids)

  42. Fig 9-29

  43. Fig 9-27

  44. 2. Carbohydrates and Dental HealthDental Caries (Cavities) MECHANISM • Bacterial acid dissolves enamel • Carbohydrate serves as food for bacteria • Plaque on teeth – sugars stay in but acids don’t go out CARIOGENIC FOOD FACTORS • Fermentable – contains sugars • Sticky • Stays in mouth a long time (think taffy) Bacterial + Sugars Cavities

  45. 3. Carbohydrates and Diabetes Diabetes: An inability to regulate blood glucose levels • A disease in which an individual does not produce or properly use insulin • Results in: • abnormally high levels of glucose in blood • Because of: • lack or ineffectiveness of insulin • hormone that is needed to convert sugar, starches and other food into energy needed for daily life • the true cause continues to be a mystery, • although both genetics and environmental factors • such as obesity and lack of exercise play roles

  46. 5-10% of cases Pancreas unable to make insulin to meet needs Genetic predisposition + environmental factors Insulin injections Dietary Intervention Reduce the amount of simple sugars Eat foods w/ dietary fiber Person will lose weight 90-95% of cases Maybe insufficient insulin or cells maybe unresponsive to insulin Genetic predisposition + obesity Dietary intervention Weight loss intervention Person is always hungry Increase in obesity Type I vs. Type II Diabetes Type 1 – Insulin Dependent Type 2 – Non- Insulin Dependent Incidence Insulin Risk factor Treatment

  47. Carbohydrates role in blood glucose • A numerical system • Measures extent of rise in circulating blood sugar a carbohydrate triggers • GI number, blood sugar response Glycemic Index

  48. Glycemic Index estimate of how quickly food affects your blood sugar

  49. Glycemic Index High GI > 70 potatoes, white bread Low GI < 55 pasta, whole grain bread Not just about individual foods it’s about our diet

  50. Factors Influencing GI • Biochemical structure of the carbohydrate • Absorption process • Size of the food particle • Contents and timing of the previous meal • Co-ingestion of fat, fiber, or protein
