When you read chapter 6 and the controversy (pages 226-232),
you learned about the importance of protein, protein need and
quality, and ways to combine foods to get all of the essential
amino acids.
Answer the following questions:
1. Of the positive health aspects of vegetarian diets, discuss
which one is the most compelling for you? (3 points)
2. Of the positive health aspects of a meat eater's diet, discuss
one of the life cycle stages and benefit of animal protein. (3
points)
3. Review Tables C6-1 and C6-2 (pg. 227). If you were to
become a vegetarian, what kind would you be and why? If you
already are a vegetarian, please share with us what kind and
why you chose to be a vegetarian. (6 points)
4. Most of us will not choose to become vegetarians, but many
of us would benefit from eating less meat. Identify two ways
you could alter your diet so that you eat less animal protein. (2
points)

The Proteins and Amino Acids
Chapter 6
Nutrition: Concepts & Controversies, 13th edition, Sizer &
Whitney
Learning ObjectivesDescribe why some amino acids are
essential, non-essential, or conditionally essential to the human
body, and state the outcome should any one of them be lacking
from the diet.Describe the digestion of protein and the
absorption and transport of amino acids in the body.List the
roles that various proteins and amino acids can play in the body,
and describe the influence of carbohydrate on amino acid
metabolism.Discuss the concept of nitrogen balance, and
compute the amount of protein needed for a healthy college
student.
Nutrition: Concepts & Controversies, 13th edition, Sizer &

Learning ObjectivesDiscuss potential physical problems from an
eating plan that is too low or too high in protein.Identify
protein-rich foods, and list some extra advantages associated
with legumes.Summarize the health advantages and nutrition red
flags of vegetarian diets, and develop a lacto-ovo vegetarian
eating pattern that meets all nutrient requirements for a given
individual.

reuse those amino acidsBody can now build the protein
molecules it needs Cells can use amino acids for
energyDiscarding the nitrogen atoms as wasteProvides access to
an emergency fund of amino acids in times of fuel, glucose, or
protein deprivationThe body employs a priority system in

Misleading and False ClaimsDon’t be mislead by advertisers
urging, for example“Take enzyme A to help digest your
food.”“Don’t eat food containing enzyme C, which will digest
cells in your body.”Even the stomach’s digestive enzymes are
denatured and absorbed when their jobs are throughAnother
false claimPredigested proteins (amino acid supplements) are
“easy to digest” and can therefore protect the digestive system
from “overworking”The healthy digestive system handles whole
proteins better than predigested ones

Chapter 6: The Proteins and Amino Acids
Protein
· Of prime importance
· Working proteins -- enzymes, antibodies, transport vehicles,
hormones
· Structural proteins -- muscle tendons (muscle to bone),
ligaments (bone to bone), hair, material of nails
Structure of Proteins
· Contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen AND nitrogen
· The nitrogen atoms give the name amino (nitrogen containing)
to amino acids
· Amino acids are the building blocks of protein
· The amino acids in a strand of protein are different from on
another – can contain 20 different kinds of amino acids
Amino Acids
· All amino acids have a chemical backbone consisting of single
carbon atoms with both an amine group (the amine group) and
an acid group (carboxyl group)
· The differences in amino acids depends on the chemical side
chain that is attached to the center carbon of the backbone
· It is the side chain that gives identity and chemical nature to
each amino acid
· The side chains makes the amino acids differ in size, shape,
and electrical charge
· There are 20 amino acids; the body can make most of them
from fragments of carbohydrate or fat to make the backbone,
and nitrogen from other sources to make the amine group
Essential Amino Acids
· The body cannot make these amino acids
· Without them, the body cannot make the proteins it needs to
do its work
· Therefore, we must eat the foods that provide these essential
amino acids
· Phenylalanine, an essential amino acids
· Phenylalanine ( tyrosine (a non-essential amino acid)
· If the enzyme needed to convert phenylalanine to tyrosine is
absent – condition called PKU
· Phenylalanine builds up in the blood and this results in a
decrease in IQ in infants
Building Protein
· Amino acids are connected by a peptide bond – formed
between the amine group and the acid group of the next amino
acid
· Proteins take on different shapes depending on their charges
· If side chain electrically charged – proteins are attracted to
water
· If side chain are neutral – repelled by water; tuck themselves
away from body fluids
· Several strands of protein may cluster together in a
functioning unit
· Some proteins need a vitamin or mineral to activate it
· The different shapes of protein allow them to perform
different tasks in the body
· Enzymes – act on other substances to change them chemically;
they are proteins
· Hemoglobin – a globular protein that carries oxygen in the red
blood cells
· No restriction on length of amino aids – they can make up
thousands of different proteins
· The amino acids that make up a protein molecule are
specified by hereditary; for each protein there is a proper amino
acid sequence; if a wrong amino acid is inherited, the result
could be disastrous to health e.g. sickle cell disease
Denaturation of Protein
· Proteins shape can be changed by heat, acids, bases, and
alcohol
· Denaturation = change in shape
· Denaturation of protein is the first step in its destruction
· During digestion of protein, the stomach acid opens up the
proteins structure
· Once the structure is open, digestion can break the peptide
bonds
The Digestion of Protein
Stomach
· Where protein digestion begins
· Acids (HCl) in the stomach uncoils (denatures) protein into
strands
· Stomach enzymes (pepsin) then begin to break the chemical
(peptide) bonds into amino acids
· Protein ----------------polypeptides
--------------tripeptides
--------------dipeptides
--------------single amino acids
--------------few whole proteins
Small Intestine
· Acid from the stomach is neutralized by alkaline juice
(bicarbonate) secreted by the pancreas
· Protein digesting enzymes from the pancreas (trypsin,
chymotrypsin, and carboxypeptidase) and intestines (peptidase)
continue to break peptide bonds between tripeptides and
dipeptides
· Intestinal cells absorb amino acids and transfer amino acids
into the bloodstream
· Bloodstream transports amino acids to all the body’s cells
· Protein synthesis occurs in the cells – DNA, mRNA, tRNA –
gene expression
The Roles of Protein in the Body
1. Regulation of gene expression
2. Providing structure and movement
3. Building enzymes, hormones and other compounds
4. Building antibodies
5. Transporting substances
6. Maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance
7. Maintaining acid-base balance
8. Blood clotting
9. Provide energy and glucose
Protein energy
· Will be used for energy if it has to
· 1 gram of protein yields 4 kcal
· When used for energy it loses its amine
· Amine group either used elsewhere or turned into urea by the
liver (deamination)
· Urea sent to the kidney for excretion in the form of urine
· Fragments that remain – C, H, O2 – can be used to build CHO
and fats
· Amino acids can be converted to glucose
· Amino acids can be converted to fat, and fats will be stored
· So, if need be, protein can help maintain a steady blood
glucose and also serve the glucose needs for the brain
For EnergyIn Storage
Carbohydrates offer energy
Glucose is stored as glycogen
Fats offer concentrated energy
Fat is stored as triglycerides
Proteins offer energy plus nitrogen
Protein is not stored – available ONLY as active working
molecular and structural components of tissue
Summary
Amino acids in a cell can be
· Used to build proteins
· Converted to other small nitrogen-containing compounds such
as vitamins or niacin
· Converted to other amino acids
Stripped of their nitrogen, amino acids can be
· Converted to glucose
· Burned as fuel
· Stored as fat
CONSUMER CORNER: Evaluating Protein and Amino Acid
Supplements
How much protein do we need? Table 6-3
DRI
Adults – 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight
The more athletic adult – 1.0-1.2 grams/kg of body weight
Women – 46 grams per day
Men – 56 grams per day
AMDR 10-35% of kcal from protein
USDA Food Guide Pyramid (MyPyramid)
Other factors to consider:
· The Body’s Health
· Malnutrition and infection increase the body’s need for protein
· Other Nutrients and Energy
· Need a full array of macronutrients and micronutrients
· Protein Quality
· Part of a normal fixed diet
Nitrogen balance
· We need enough protein to maintain nitrogen balance – the
amount of nitrogen consumed being equal to the amount of
nitrogen excreted
· Adults need to maintain equilibrium
· Infants, children, pregnant and lactating women, body
builders, are in positive nitrogen balance – retaining more
nitrogen than they are excreting
· Surgery, space travel, starvation, results in negative nitrogen
balance – muscle tissue being broken down and lost
What Foods Provide High QualityProtein?
· Depends on its amino acid content
· High –quality protein (formerly “complete protein”) – proteins
that provide all of the essential amino acids
· Animal proteins, eggs
· Milk , yogurt, cheese
· Most soybean products
· If the diet fails to provide enough of the essential amino acids
· Internal proteins are broken down to liberate the needed
essential amino acid
· Conserve the essential amino acid by limiting the synthesis of
protein
· Limiting Amino Acid
· An essential amino acid that is present in dietary protein in an
insufficient amount, thereby limiting the body’s ability to build
protein
· Complementary Protein: eating two different foods where
essential amino acids are lacking (or low) in one are provided in
the other and vice versa
· Two proteins do not need to be eaten together as long as the
diet provides enough energy and total protein from a variety of
sources
· Mutual supplementation
· Legumes – foods of the pea, bean and lentil family that are
nitrogen-fixing; their seeds are rich in protein
· Protein Digestibility
· Some proteins are more digestible than others
· Oats vs. eggs
· Perspective on protein quality
· Meeting protein needs not a problem for most people in the US
even if they were to eat no animal products at all
· Need to pay attention to mutual supplementation
· Varied, adequate in calories, nutrient dense
· What about where food energy is limited (where malnutrition
exists) or protein limited
· Fufu – low-protein staple food of the cassava root
Protein Deficiency and Excess
What happens when people consume too little protein
· Deficiency in protein and energy can result in protein-energy
malnutrition (PEM), the most widespread form of malnutrition
in the world
· Marasmus
· 6-18 months of age
· Children fed weak cereal drink, low calorie, low protein
quality
· Child looks like a wizened old person
· Muscle wasting
· Little body fat for insulation
· Insufficient protein for hemoglobin, antibodies
· Dysentery – infection of the digestive tract – diarrhea
· Might progress to a point of no return
· Kwashiorkor – Ghanian name for “the evil spirit that infects
the first child when the second child is born”
· Breastmilk – high quality protein
· When baby is weaned, low quality protein follows
· Some symptoms resemble marasmus minus the severe wasting
· Edema in belly and legs
· Fatty liver – lack of transport proteins
· Liver needs to filter toxins
· PEM at home
Is it possible to consume too much protein?
· Overconsumption of protein offers no benefits and may pose
some risks
· US protein intakes – most consume sufficient amounts of
protein; high-protein diets suggesting 65% of calories for
weight loss not warranted
· Heart Disease
· Saturated fat from animal protein and milk, yogurt , cheese
(full fat varieties)
· Homocysteine and heart disease; high protein might raise the
level of this amino acid and increase the risk of heart disease
· Kidney disease- protein diets
· Adult bone loss - osteoporosis
· Cancer
· Colon and rectum from well-cooked red meats and highly
processed meats
· Is a Low-Gluten Diet Best for Health?
· Gluten and celiac disease
Food Feature: Getting Enough but Not Too Much Protein
· Legumes
· Textured vegetable protein
· Tofu – curd made from soybeans
Controversy 6: Vegetarian and Meat Consuming Diets
Vegetarians -- Table C6-1
· People who consciously choose not to eat animal some or all
products
· Fruitarian
· Lacto-ovo vegetarians
· Lacto-vegetarians
· Ovo-vegetarian
· Vegan
· Partial vegetarians
· Pesco-vegetarian
Positive health effects – reduced risk of
· Obesity, heart disease, blood pressure, cancer, diabetes,
osteoporosis, diverticular disease
Positive aspects of a meat eater’s diet
· Energy, B12, vitamin D, calcium, iron, zinc, , omega 3, and
protein for all stages of the lifecycle

When you read chapter 6 and the controversy (pages 226-232), you l.docx

  • 1. When you read chapter 6 and the controversy (pages 226-232), you learned about the importance of protein, protein need and quality, and ways to combine foods to get all of the essential amino acids. Answer the following questions: 1. Of the positive health aspects of vegetarian diets, discuss which one is the most compelling for you? (3 points) 2. Of the positive health aspects of a meat eater's diet, discuss one of the life cycle stages and benefit of animal protein. (3 points) 3. Review Tables C6-1 and C6-2 (pg. 227). If you were to become a vegetarian, what kind would you be and why? If you already are a vegetarian, please share with us what kind and why you chose to be a vegetarian. (6 points) 4. Most of us will not choose to become vegetarians, but many of us would benefit from eating less meat. Identify two ways you could alter your diet so that you eat less animal protein.

  • 2. essential, non-essential, or conditionally essential to the human body, and state the outcome should any one of them be lacking from the diet.Describe the digestion of protein and the absorption and transport of amino acids in the body.List the roles that various proteins and amino acids can play in the body, and describe the influence of carbohydrate on amino acid metabolism.Discuss the concept of nitrogen balance, and compute the amount of protein needed for a healthy college student. Nutrition: Concepts & Controversies, 13th edition, Sizer & Whitney Learning ObjectivesDiscuss potential physical problems from an eating plan that is too low or too high in protein.Identify protein-rich foods, and list some extra advantages associated with legumes.Summarize the health advantages and nutrition red flags of vegetarian diets, and develop a lacto-ovo vegetarian eating pattern that meets all nutrient requirements for a given individual.

  • 21. · All amino acids have a chemical backbone consisting of single carbon atoms with both an amine group (the amine group) and an acid group (carboxyl group) · The differences in amino acids depends on the chemical side chain that is attached to the center carbon of the backbone · It is the side chain that gives identity and chemical nature to each amino acid · The side chains makes the amino acids differ in size, shape, and electrical charge · There are 20 amino acids; the body can make most of them from fragments of carbohydrate or fat to make the backbone, and nitrogen from other sources to make the amine group Essential Amino Acids · The body cannot make these amino acids · Without them, the body cannot make the proteins it needs to do its work · Therefore, we must eat the foods that provide these essential amino acids · Phenylalanine, an essential amino acids · Phenylalanine ( tyrosine (a non-essential amino acid) · If the enzyme needed to convert phenylalanine to tyrosine is absent – condition called PKU · Phenylalanine builds up in the blood and this results in a decrease in IQ in infants
  • 22. Building Protein · Amino acids are connected by a peptide bond – formed between the amine group and the acid group of the next amino acid · Proteins take on different shapes depending on their charges · If side chain electrically charged – proteins are attracted to water · If side chain are neutral – repelled by water; tuck themselves away from body fluids · Several strands of protein may cluster together in a functioning unit · Some proteins need a vitamin or mineral to activate it · The different shapes of protein allow them to perform different tasks in the body · Enzymes – act on other substances to change them chemically; they are proteins · Hemoglobin – a globular protein that carries oxygen in the red blood cells · No restriction on length of amino aids – they can make up thousands of different proteins · The amino acids that make up a protein molecule are specified by hereditary; for each protein there is a proper amino acid sequence; if a wrong amino acid is inherited, the result could be disastrous to health e.g. sickle cell disease Denaturation of Protein
  • 23. · Proteins shape can be changed by heat, acids, bases, and alcohol · Denaturation = change in shape · Denaturation of protein is the first step in its destruction · During digestion of protein, the stomach acid opens up the proteins structure · Once the structure is open, digestion can break the peptide bonds The Digestion of Protein Stomach · Where protein digestion begins · Acids (HCl) in the stomach uncoils (denatures) protein into strands · Stomach enzymes (pepsin) then begin to break the chemical (peptide) bonds into amino acids · Protein ----------------polypeptides --------------tripeptides --------------dipeptides --------------single amino acids --------------few whole proteins
