Oxidative Phosphorylation is the metabolic pathway in which mitochondria use their structure, enzymes, and energy released by the oxidation of nutrients to create ATP. If cells become oxygen deficient, the condition known as hypoxia (no oxygen) occurs. This condition can be due to abnormally acidic blood or a lack of critical enzymes necessary for releasing oxygen from red blood cells, so when this oxidative cycle is oxygen deficient, it can’t produce the quantity nor quality of ATP necessary for normal cellular functioning. “Oxygen is alkaline forming in the blood, while carbon dioxide which is produced as a by-product of the oxidation process is acid forming. The ratio between them is intimately connected with maintaining optimal blood pH of 7.46, which is the primary goal of the nutritional protocols of metabolic profiling. At this pH …show more content…

All sides of the cycle (carbohydrates, fats, and proteins) must be in balance for complete energy production. Some people’s metabolic process is expressly connected to the Krebs cycle. Think of an oxidizer as someone with a direct plug in to this system and, therefore, is dependent upon his/her metabolic rate (how fast he/she burns glucose) for ATP. Some oxidizer types are Fast Oxidizers, because they burn glucose too fast (and run out of energy), while others are Slow Oxidizers, because they burn glucose too slowly (and don’t burn it up). Some are Mixed types who need consistently balanced carbs, fats, and protein to sustain a healthy metabolic rate. Slow Oxidizers Slow oxidizers burn nutrients too slowly; the glucose in food enters their bloodstream very gradually over time. Slow Oxidizers can have a bowl of fruit and feel fine for a couple hours. They can have a high carbohydrate/low protein/fat meal and feel fine without hypoglycimia, because they burn it so

Also during exercise the amount of glucose produced by cells increases due the requirement for more ATP from working muscles, than from those at rest. The influx of glucose to the bloodstream after consuming a meal or snack shows how the components of the glucose homeostasis system work together to re-establish normal blood glucose concentration. The rainbow rage is a long and tiresome race, therefore, blood glucose levels may run low due to their depletion.

Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase is the first enzyme in the pentose phosphate pathway. The pentose phosphate pathway is the major pathway cells use to generate NADPH, an important co-enzyme involved in oxidation/reduction reactions. One consequence of glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency is the premature death of red blood cells. This is because the lack of the enzyme leads to insufficient production of NADPH, which is needed to reduce glutathione, an antioxidant that helps protect red blood cells from oxidative stress by eliminating reactive oxygen species. Without glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase, reactive oxygen species accumulate which leads to the formation of aggregates of cross-linked hemoglobin and premature death in red

How to Tell if you have a Fast Metabolism You may have observed that some people eat a lot but do not gain weight, whereas some people are inclined to gaining weight, even if they do not eat much. Similarly, some people apparently look quite fit, even if they do not do exercises regularly but in some cases, it may be opposite. Most important factor, amongst many others, behind this behavior of body, is Metabolism. What is Metabolism? Not going into the technical definition, metabolism is the breakdown of food, we intake, to make it useable by the body to provide energy and build body tissues.

When your body intakes carbohydrates it causes an insulin spike which means the pancreas releases insulin ( helps store glycogen, amino acids and excess calories as fat ) so common sense tells us that if we eliminate carbs then the insulin will not store excess calories as fat. Perfect. Now your body has no carbs as a energy source your body must find a new source. Fat.

low blood sugar level). It occurs anywhere between 1 to 3 hours after eating. The hypoglycemia associated with LDS causes symptoms such as: • Tremors • Sweating • Hunger • Palpitations • Sweating • Fatigue • Fainting • Confusion • Aggression LDS reactive hypoglycemia occurs due to a rapid absorption of glucose from the small intestine and a responsive hyper-secretion of insulin with stays elevated for a period longer than usual. GLP-1 is thought to play a crucial role in LDS as it is a potent anti-hyperglycemic hormone a. It often found to have an elevated response in patients who have had operations that speed up gastric emptying and causes increased insulin secretion, further compounding hypoglycemia.

As shown in Figure 2, the blood glucose did not spike up, but went in a curved, steady line, and dropped in a more controlled manner. The students who participated in eating the wheat bagel started with an average fasted state of 83mg/dL. After the bagel was ingested the blood glucose levels raised to 102mg/dL. After 60 minutes, the blood glucose kept increasing to 110mg/dL. Unlike with the donette, the bagel took a longer time to raise. The total increase of blood glucose was 32% increase. Finally, at 90 minutes the blood glucose dropped slowly to 108mg/dL and dropped to 96mg/dL at 120 with an 11%

Those metabolic cycles are critical for processes from cholesterol breakdown to glucose production, and they should be primed to turn on when we eat and back off when we don’t, or vice versa. When mice or people eat frequently throughout the day and night, it can throw off those normal metabolic cycles.

“Celery often tops lists of less-than-zero fare followed by lettuce, onions, cucumbers and a few citrus fruits as they share similar nutrition profiles: low in calories, high in fiber and water contents exceeding 90 percent by weight. These low-calorie, plant-based foods are an important part of a balanced diet, but, alone, lack adequate nutrients, including protein and fat, to sustain a healthy body.” (Christy Wilson RD, www.eatright.org) It is hard for one’s body to perform normal functions, such as digesting food, without the necessary energy and nourishment. This can affect one’s normal lifestyle rendering them unable to perform everyday

Let’s see how? When we eat food, our body stores the carbohydrates and fats. When a person needs to perform a task, the body first uses the stored carbohydrates to get the energy. Since most people eat a diet high in carbohydrates, all our energy needs are fulfilled by breaking down the stored carbs and the fats keep on getting accumulated. Now, if we eat a diet with less carbs, the fats will be broken down to get energy.
