- All of the following are true with respect to alpha-glucosidase inhibitor, except:A. It inhibits intestinal alpha-glucosidase B. It decreases enzymatic conversion of oligo- to monosaccharidesC. It lowers postprandial glucoseD. It causes gastrointestinal disturbances.E. It may cause development of hypertension.arrow_forwardFor thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, biotin, pantothenic acid, vitamin B6, folate, vitamin B12, and vitamin C, state: its chief function in the body; its characteristic deficiency symptoms; and its significant food sources. no handwritten answersarrow_forward(a) Choose one water-soluble and one fat-soluble vitamin. Draw their structures. Give a reference daily intake for each, in milligrams or micrograms. Give at least one metabolic role for each. List the condition caused by a deficiency of each, or describe the effects of a deficiency of each. Give a good dietary source of each. (b) Choose onearrow_forward

- Suppose that our test subject from problem 1 gained 55 pounds between the ages of 25 and 65 (a sadly common occur re nce) , and that her weight at 65 years of age is 175 pounds . Calculate how many excess calories she consumed per day to gain the 55 pounds over 40 years. Assume that our test subject is 5 feet 6 inches tall. What is her BMI? Would she be considered obese at 175 lbs ?arrow_forwardDiscuss the 3 mechanisms of abnormal carbohydrates metabolism that result in the development of ketone bodies in the urine and give examples of the condition to each.arrow_forwardIn healthy adults, the concentration of glucose in blood is approximately80 to 110 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl). After a carbohydrate-richmeal, however, the concentration may spike to 140 mg/dl. Describe thehormonal action that returns blood glucose to normal.arrow_forward
