Carbohydrates
To reduce, carbohydrates must have
Ketone or aldehyde group
Every function in living cell depends on
Proteins
Traditionally used to monitor renal function
Nonprotein Nitrogen (NPN) Compounds
These hormones are secreted in the anterior pituitary gland and are both integral hormones in
supporting reproduction
Follicle Stimulating Hormone and Luteinizing Hormone
The Roles of Lipids are
Rich source of energy and an efficient way for the body to store calories. An integral part of cell membranes and structure
This is the primary source of energy for humans
Glucose
Protein synthesis occurs here
Liver
NPN compound present in highest concentration in
blood
UREA
Produced by the corpus luteum, a hormone-secreting body formed from the ovary’s follicle after egg release
Progesterone
Linear chains of carbon–hydrogen bonds terminating in
carboxyl group
Fatty acids
This group of metabolic diseases is characterized by
hyperglycemia resulting from defects in insulin
secretion, insulin action, or both
Diabetes Mellitus
This protein is elevated in heart attacks and heart failure
Troponin
product of catabolism of purine nucleic acids
Uric acid
Peptide hormone secreted from the anterior pituitary and primarily responsible for
lactation and mammary gland development
Prolactin
Three fatty acid molecules are attached to one molecule of
glycerol by ester bonds
Triglycerides
Constitutes 10% to 20% of all diabetes cases; occurs
in childhood and adolescence, and is genetic
Type 1 diabetes
The protein present in the highest concentration in plasma
Albumin
This test measure of amount of creatinine
eliminated from blood by kidneys
Creatinine clearance
Most common feedback mechanism in the body
Negative Feedback
Largest and least dense; diameters as large as 1,200 nm
Chylomicrons
Long-term blood glucose regulation can be followed by
measurement of
Glycosylated Hemoglobin/Hemoglobin A1c
pH at which protein has no net
charge.
Isoelectric point (pI)
Elevated concentrations are seen in the following
conditions: Severe liver disease, Encephalopathy
Ammonia
Produced as by-products of cortisol synthesis that are regulated by ACTH
Androgens
Smallest and the densest; synthesized by the liver and the intestine
High-Density Lipoproteins
