A critical review of contemporary and popular reports within the ‘lay’ literature on the use of nutritional supplements for performance benefits. There is an endless list of ergogenic aids that claim to enhance sports performance that are religiously supplemented by amateur and professional athletes. Almost half of the general population have reported taking at least one form of dietary supplement‚ and the vast majority‚ if not all professional athletes use legal supplements‚ with a certain

levels and glucose use are in fact increased‚ but hyperglycaemia that is not necessarily resolved by the use of exogenous insulin is present. This appears‚ to some extent‚ to be driven by an elevated glucagon to insulin ratio. To support hyper-metabolism and increased gluconeogenesis‚ fat is mobilized from adipose stores to provide energy (lipolysis) as the result of elevated levels of catecholamine along with concurrent decrease in insulin production. If hyper-metabolic patients are not fed during

Ma. Bea Agatha Escueta HOMEOSTASIS Body systems act together to make a point that the body acts efficiently as a whole‚ with the brain as a command centre. “Homeostasis is derived from the Greek‚ homeo or ‘constant’; and stasis or ‘stable’ and means remaining stable or remaining the same.” (Wikipedia. 2013) It is the procedure by which the body keeps static surroundings in which cells‚ tissues‚ and systems can operate. If there’s an alteration happen‚ these procedures can stop‚ decompress or

* In Aerobic glycolysis‚ glucose or glycogen is broken down to pyruvic acid via glycolitic enzymes during carbohydrate metabolism. Hydrogen is released and glucose is metabolized to pyruvic acid. In the presence of oxygen‚ the pyruvic acid is converted into acetyl coenzyme A. (Acetyl CoA). 1 mole of glucose produce 2 moles of ATP or 1 mole of glycogen produces 3 moles of ATP

We gain heat by the metabolism of food and by absorbing solar energy from objects‚ from the ground and connections with the ground. However we lose heat by evaporation (sweat)‚ conduction (lost to the ground or by touching cooler objects)‚ convection (heat lost upwards to the cooler air) and radiation (moved out from the body in all directions to the cooler air). Humans are warm blooded and derive most of their heat from metabolism‚ and loose heat through our respiratory surfaces
