Carbohydrate MetabolismCarbohydrate Metabolism
The body’s preferred source to produce cellular
energy (ATP)
Glucose (blood sugar) is the major digestive
product and serves as fuel to make ATP

Without oxygen, cells can use glycolysis alone to produce small
amounts of ATP
◦But a cell must replenish NAD+

In lactic acid fermentation, pyruvic acid is converted to
lactic acid

Body Energy BalanceBody Energy Balance
Energy intake = total energy output (heat + work +
energy storage)
◦Energy intake from food oxidation
Proteins, carbs have 4 Cal/gm
Fats have 9 Cal/gm
◦Energy output
Heat is usually about 60%
Storage energy is in the form of fat or glycogen
Regulation of Food IntakeRegulation of Food Intake
Body weight is usually relatively stable
◦Energy intake and output remain about equal
Mechanisms that may regulate food intake
◦Levels of nutrients in the blood
◦Hormones: leptin, ghrelin
◦Body temperature
◦Psychological factors
Metabolic Rate and Body Heat ProductionMetabolic Rate and Body Heat Production
Basic metabolic rate (BMR) reflects the amount
of energy spent per unit of time by a body at rest
Factors that influence BMR:
◦Body shape (height and weight), gender,
body composition, age, stress,
food intake, genetics
TMR = Total Metabolic Rate
◦Total energy spent, includes activity above BMR
Estimation of BMREstimation of BMR
Johnson: your weight in kg (# lbs/2.2) x 24 (x
0.9 if female) = Calories per day
Your weight in kg (# lbs/2.2) x % lean mass
males usually 82-88%
females usually 75-82%
