A Case Study on Lipid Metabolism Introduction: Obesity is characterized by an excess of adipose tissue in the body as a consequence of increase of food intake (Singla, Bardoloi and Parkash, 2010). Obese patients commonly experienced obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) because of fat deposition in tissues of the upper airway, resulting in a smaller lumen and increased lung collapsibility (Adelizzi. 2021). Obesity is one major factor associated in the development of metabolic diseases in multiple adult cohorts. The biochemical link explaining this association is the pattern of lipid partition in the body brought about by excessive calories and energy spare. Thus, the tight regulation of the metabolic pathway through maintaining homeostatic network of energy balance is necessary to alleviate this disease. Objectives After completing this case, the student will be able to identify and understand the mechanisms in which the metabolic pathways are interrelated.

A Case Study on Lipid
- Introduction:
Obesity is characterized by an excess of adipose tissue in the body as a consequence of
increase of food intake (Singla, Bardoloi and Parkash, 2010). Obese patients commonly
experienced obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) because of fat deposition in tissues of the upper
airway, resulting in a smaller lumen and increased lung collapsibility (Adelizzi. 2021). Obesity
is one major factor associated in the development of metabolic diseases in multiple adult
cohorts. The biochemical link explaining this association is the pattern of lipid partition in the
body brought about by excessive calories and energy spare. Thus, the tight regulation of the
metabolic pathway through maintaining homeostatic network of energy balance is necessary
to alleviate this disease.
- Objectives
After completing this case, the student will be able to identify and understand the
mechanisms in which the metabolic pathways are interrelated. Specifically, the case study aims
to teach students how to:
- Describe the physiological effects of obesity in the pediatric population.
- Interpret laboratory parameters for biochemical implications and significance.
- Analyze nutrition assessment data to evaluate nutritional status and identify specific
nutrition problems.
- Develop a nutritional care plan with appropriate measurable goals, interventions, and
strategies for evaluation consistent with the nutrition diagnoses of this case.
- The Problem
Background Story: Margaret was taken to her doctor because of her breathing problem when
sleeping. Her doctor diagnosed her with sleep apnea related to her weight and referred to the
registered dietitian for nutrition counselling.
Personal Information:
Name: Hufalar, Margaret G.
Gender: Female
Height: 5’4"
Weight: 175 lbs
Doctor’s Diagnosis: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) secondary to obesity and physical inactivity
