Chapter 28, Problem 1SL
Fructose and glucose are both monosaccharides, but these sugars affect the body differently. For example, glucose stimulates insulin release from the pancreas (see chapter 25); fructose does not. Moreover, insulin stimulates leptin release. Use this information to propose an explanation for the correlation between the skyrocketing consumption of high fructose corn syrup since 1970 and the rise in obesity during the same period.

You have the task of producing 3 kilogram of porcine (pig) insulin from pig pancreases to create an emergency stockpile of insulin. You know that a typical adult pig has a 269 gram pancreas and it is possible to produce 15 micromoles of purified insulin from 1 kg of pancreatic tissue. How many fresh pig carcasses would you need to produce 3 kg of insulin?
Fructose and glucose are both monosaccharides, but the body metabolizesthese sugars differently. For example, glucose stimulates insulin releasefrom the pancreas (see section 28.4); fructose does not. Moreover, insulinstimulates leptin release. Finally, fructose is more likely than glucose tobe converted to fat. Use this information to propose an explanation for thecorrelation between the skyrocketing consumption of high fructose cornsyrup since 1970 and the rise in obesity during the same period.
It has been hypothesized that a diet heavy in sugar may lead to a condition known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Explain?

- What would the blood levels of glucose and ketones be after 48 hours of fasting in aperson who was carnitine deficient . Explain your reasoningarrow_forwardNon-alcoholic fatty liver disease has been linked to high-sugar diets. Explain?arrow_forwardLactose intolerance is caused by reduced production of the enzyme lactase. A variety of digestive system problems, such as celiac disease and Crohn’s disease) can also lower the production of lactase. If an individual produces low levels of the enzyme lactase, explain why they might be able to tolerate eating dairy products that contain lower levels of lactose (e.g., hard cheeses, feta cheese, and cottage cheese), but will not be able to tolerate foods with high levels of lactose (e.g., milk).arrow_forward
- After a meal that contains carbohydrates, blood glucose levels usually rise gradually as carbohydrates are digested and the resulting monosaccharides are absorbed into the bloodstream. Suppose you run a test on a human with no lactase production. You would provide a dose (e.g., 25 grams) of lactose and measure changes in blood glucose levels over the next three hours. Predict how blood glucose levels would change from fasting to three hours. Justify your response using the results from the above simulation.arrow_forwardA 1-oz (28.3-g) serving of regular potato chips has 10 g of fat and 150 Calories, whereas 1 oz of the socalled fat-free chips fried in olestra has only 75 Calories.
