NBA1 (molecular aspects of) protein digestion and absorption
17 important questions on NBA1 (molecular aspects of) protein digestion and absorption
Are there alternative pathways for protein absorption?
- transcytosis of larger peptides
Increase intestinal permeability
- Paracellular transport
- Epithelial integrity
- Exercise
Large peptides; incl. Allergens
image is a study that they have done --> with exercise the peak of peanut allergie was higher....? Exercise has a negative impact on the intestinal impermeability
Protein quality; how many are essential and how many are nonessential?
- Nonessential AA - 11
- Essential AA - 9
- conditionally essential AA (synthesised in limited amounts; diet in case status of rapid protein synthesis [e.g. Growth])
What is the definition of protein quality? And what is its relevance?
- Nutritive value of a protein depends on its capacity to provide nitrogen and amino acids in adequate amounts to meet the requirements of an organism
- relevance
- growing population
- specific groups
- children
- disease
- elderly
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
For my 1st exam I got a C. Then, I started looking for ways to learn better and I came across Study Smart. Since then I have scored a A+, A, A- and another A. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to hear it. I am so happy with it!!
I was struggling to finish all my first-year subjects for 3 years. Then I discovered Study Smart, which helped me to finish all of them within 3 months.
Because of StudySmart, things are going well in many ways. Before, I always had study stress and no time for anything. Now I feel calm and confident (because of the program). I used to score a B, now I usually score an A or A+.
Hey Chris, I really want to thank you very much for developing the platform, I usually got around C for my exams, now I scored an A+, an A and a A- !!
Since using Study Smart, my average has increased significantly. I even completed a statistics course with a A+ while I'm bad at statistics. I took on extra courses this year, because of Study Smart. Thanks so much!
Ever since I started studying with StudySmart I passed all my exams !!! No more re-sits!! At first, I was happy with a pass and now I only get good grades. Many thanks!
I aced all the courses I studied with Study Smart. For law, I first scored a D, and now an A! I’m 100% sure that I’ll pass all the courses I study with Study Smart.
I always thought I studied well. My grades were fine. I could never have imagined that applying these study skills would have such a huge and direct impact on my grades, my speed and the pleasure I have in learning.
For the first time, I finally feel totally confident about the way I learn. I have the perfect overview and make great progress in terms of speed and the grades I get. Thanks, Chris!
I immediately started to enjoy learning again, and my grades soared. All of a sudden, everything went better. I highly recommend Study Smart to all students..
Being able to create my materials online made the process of studying so much smoother and quicker. I no longer have to spend a huge amount of my time on creating my summaries.
At first, my notes were a mess. Now I use Study Smart to take my notes in a perfectly structured way. It helps me to save a lot of time and do other things I enjoy.
Students that study with Study Smart get better grades. The system applies all the learning methods in such a way that both well-performing students and students who struggle perform much better.
Hi Chris, I would like to thank you very much. Last year I scored C on a course, and this year I got an A+ thanks to your method! Thank you very much!
The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with StudySmart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, StudySmart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to StudySmart, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
Protein quality is dependent on...
- AA composition
- AA bioavailability
nutritive value of a protein depend on its capacity to provide nitrogen and amino acids in adequate amounts to meet the requirements of an organism
By what is the amino acid bioavailability influenced?
- Digestibility
- net absorption of an amino acid
- Chemical integrity
- the proportion of the amino acid that, if absorbed, is in a utilisable form (e.g., bioavailable/reactive lysine)
Name the scoring system for the evaluation of protein quality and what the formula is.
- recommended in 2011 by FAO
- DIAAS% = 100 x lowest value [(mg of digestible dietary indispensable amino acid in 1g of the dietary protein)/(mg of the same dietary indispensable amino acid in 1g of the reference protein)]
in 1989 the PDCAAS [protein digestibility corrected amino acid score] was recommended. Sinds 2011 the DIAAS
What are the improvements & limitations of the DIAAS
- Digestibility at ileal level, not faecal
- determined in human > growing pig > growing rat
- Measurement bioavailable lysine (no Maillard products)
- AA pattern of reference protein
- age-groups (birth-6; 6m-3y;>3y)
- no truncation at 100%
- except sole food source or already mixed diet
- Limitation
- still one score per protein --> AA individual nutrients
In which 3 ways can the digestibility be measured in humans?
- Naso-ileal intubation
- liquids, powders, non-fibrous food
- Ileostomates
- fibrous, coarse food
- Less-invasice techniques
- isotope methods
Ileostomates -- Proteos study =
- 'healthy' subjects
- breakfast with protein or protein-free meal
- collection of digest - 9 hours
Considerations
- not completely healthy
- microbiota ileum
- total collection & marker recovery
What is the principle dual isotope approach?
- Intrinsically labelled test protein
- different labelled standard protein/free AA
- known digestibility
- postprandial ratio of appearance of differently labelled amino acids --> evaluation absorption of test protein
--> less invasive: useful to determine digestibility in children, elderly, patients
Dual tracer approach - 15N & 2H
- Cystic fibrosis patients
- Quantify protein maldigestion - Pancreatic enzyme
Dual tracer approach - 2H & 13C
- relative to free amino acids
Digestibility of legumes, eggs, meat, rice (2H)
- relative to spiruline
What is the protein origin [digestibility]
- Dietary protein
- Endogenous protein
- Basal; depends on quantity of intake, independent of diet
- Specific; depends on diet
- fiber (type and concentration)
- anti-nutritional factors
What is the apparent vs true digestibility?
- Difference in correction for endogenous losses
- Digestibility(%) = (ingested - digestive losses) / ingested x 100
True:
- Digestibility(%) = (ingested - (digestive losses - endogenous losses)) / ingested x 100
What are the methods to determine endogenous losses?
- Protein - free diet
- basal endogenous losses
- labelled protein sources
- 15N labelled protein source
- total endogenous losses --> 'real' digestibility
- recycling
- hydrolysed proteins with ultrafiltration of digesta
Age & protein digestibility
- rats: 5 weeks or 20 months
- true faecal protein digestibility
- results
- low differences for properly processed protein products
- larger differences for proteins products with anti-nutritional factors
Scoring protein quality - calculation
[example for a single food ingredient - milk powder]
- (mg of digestible dietary indispensable amino acid in 1 g of the dietary protein)
- lowest value
13 * 0.9 = 12
12/17= 0,69
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
