8/4/2016 Prof.Dr.R.R.Deshpande 94
96. Govt Measures
• Both the central & the state governments have taken
many measures for improving the nutritional status of the
needy community
• These measures are as follows:
• 1) Implementation of programmes like ICDS (Integrated
child development scheme), MCHP (Mother child health
programme), MDMP (Mid day meal programme), FFWP
(Food for work programme) & NREP (National rural
employment programme).
8/4/2016 Prof.Dr.R.R.Deshpande 96
97. Govt Measures
• 2) Foodstuffs like sukhada or sukadi, milk
powder, breads, eggs, nutri - biscuits,
preparations of bulgur wheat & soya bean
are distributed by the government to
needy & vulnerable people, such as
pregnant women, lactating mothers &
children
8/4/2016 Prof.Dr.R.R.Deshpande 97
98. Govt Measures
• 3) Foodstuffs are enriched by specific nutrients
to avoid malnutrition.
• For example, hydrogenated fat is enriched with
vitamins A & D.
• Similarly, common salt is enriched by iodine.
• Milk products & baby foods are fortified with
vitamins A, B, C & D & minerals such as calcium
& iron
8/4/2016 Prof.Dr.R.R.Deshpande 98
99. Govt Measures
• 4) To avoid protein energy malnutrition (PEM) deficiency
of protein, deficiency of vitamin A & nutritional anaemia,
the above mentioned projects (1 to 3) are adopted as
protective measures against them.
• These nutritional programmes are getting good response
but unfortunately, owing to tremendous increase in
population, these programmes are limited to a very few
people.
• It cannot reach the masses.
8/4/2016 Prof.Dr.R.R.Deshpande 99
102. Hypervitaminosis
• Hypervitaminosis means consumption of
excess one or more vitamins.
• The fat soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) are
more toxic because they tend to be stored
& accumulated in the body, rather than
excreted in the urine.
8/4/2016 Prof.Dr.R.R.Deshpande 102
103. Adverse effects of high doses
of some vitamins
• 1) Vit. A - Blurred vision, ringing in the ears,

tenderness, slow wound healing,
thrombophlebitis, pulmonary embolism
8/4/2016 Prof.Dr.R.R.Deshpande 103

tingling of finger tips, arrhythmis, hyperglycemia,
gout.
• 5) B6 (Pyridoxin) - Numbness & loss of
sensation in hand & feet, difficulty in walking,
impaired memory, impaired sense of position &
vibration.
• 6) Vit. C - Kidney stones, diarrhea, headache,
insomnia
8/4/2016 Prof.Dr.R.R.Deshpande 107
108. Digestion & metabolism of
proteins, fats & carbohydrates
• Absorption - Amino acids & glucose are
absorbed into blood capillaries & fatty
acids are absorbed into lacteals (Lymph
vessels)
• Assimilation - Absorbed food is taken up
by the protoplasm. Then building up
process is called ‘Assimilation
8/4/2016 Prof.Dr.R.R.Deshpande 108
109. Metabolism
• Metabolism = Anabolism + Catabolism
• Anabolism = Storage of energy & new
construction.
• Catabolism = Use of energy
8/4/2016 Prof.Dr.R.R.Deshpande 109
110. 1) Carbohydrate Metabolism
• All complex sugars in G - I tract are broken
down to - glucose, fructose & Galactose
(which all are)
• mono saccharides
• Absorption of glucose & Galactose is fast
while absorption of fructose is slower. All
mono saccharides appear in the liver via
‘Portal vein’.
8/4/2016 Prof.Dr.R.R.Deshpande 110
111. 1) Carbohydrate Metabolism
• Monosaccharides are again converted into
polysaccharide – Glycogen by the process
called as Glycogenesis.
• As per requirement of the body the
glycogen of the liver is broken down to
‘glucose’ (Process is Glycogeno - lysis)
8/4/2016 Prof.Dr.R.R.Deshpande 111
112. 1) Carbohydrate Metabolism
• Except glucose no other form of
monosaccharide is normally found in the
blood.
• Blood glucose is distributed to various
tissues of body - brain, muscle & adipose
tissue.
8/4/2016 Prof.Dr.R.R.Deshpande 112
113. 1) Carbohydrate Metabolism
• The fate of glucose in the tissue is as
follows ------
• Glucose may be catabolised to produce
energy.
• Energy is stored as ATP which is used
for different kind of work like - muscle
contraction, glandular secretion etc.
8/4/2016 Prof.Dr.R.R.Deshpande 113
114. Stages of Glucose Catabolism
• 1) First stage
• ‘Glycolytic pathway’ (EMP Pathway - Embden, Mayer,
Phoff pathway)
• The 6 ‘C’ atoms structure (Glucose) is converted into 3
‘C’ structure (Pyruvic/Lactic acid).
• This stage can occur in absence of O2 & small amount of
‘ATP’ is generated.
• Instead of EMP, Glucose molecule may be broken down
via another pathway (eg. - HMP or PPP pathway)
8/4/2016 Prof.Dr.R.R.Deshpande 114
115. Stages of Glucose Catabolism
• 2) Second stage
• Pyruvic acid enters into the kreb’s cycle
(Citric acid cycle) & broken down into CO2
& H2O.
• This stage cannot occur without O2 &
acquire more ATP molecule.
8/4/2016 Prof.Dr.R.R.Deshpande 115
116. Anabolism of Glucose / Carbohydrate
• Glucose may be taken up by the muscle to
synthesize - ‘Muscle glycogen’ or an
intermediate product of glucose
metabolism like acetic acid.
• This acetic acid is utilized for the synthesis
of fatty acids.
8/4/2016 Prof.Dr.R.R.Deshpande 116
118. 2) Protein Metabolism
• The food proteins are digested in G.I. tract
& ultimately converted into amino acid.
• The human body has, amino acid pool.
• The pool includes places like plasma &
tissue fluid.
8/4/2016 Prof.Dr.R.R.Deshpande 118
119. 2) Protein Metabolism
• Various body tissues pick up the required
amino acids from the pool & synthesize
their own productive & characteristic
protein.
• Also simultaneously disintegrating tissues,
discharge amino acid into the pool.
• The size of this pool, remain practically
constant.

121. Protein Anabolism
• 1) Amino acids are taken up by the tissues
for the replacement of wear & tear.
• 2) For growing children, additional quantity
of protein is required for the growth

122. Protein Anabolism
• 3) Some endocrine glands, like pancreas,
parathyroid, hypothalamus pick up amino
acid for manufacturing their specific
hormones (protein in nature) - Insulin.
• 4) Lactating mother require extra amount
of protein.
• 5) Enzymes are protein in nature, so the
cells, which secrete enzymes, pick up
‘amino acids’.

123. Protein Catabolism
(Energy Liberation)
• In catabolism, amino group from amino acid is
removed.
• From - NH2 → Urea is synthesized & excreted
in urine. - NH2 group from amino acid is
removed with “Transamination” process.
• This reaction is catalyzed by “Glutamate,
Oxaloacetate, Transaminase.
• ” High value of this enzyme in the serum i.e.
High SGOT indicated ‘M. I. ” or “Liver damage’ or
“skeletal muscle damage’

124. Protein Catabolism
(Energy Liberation)
• In short NH2 group of amino acids is ultimately removed
as NH3.
• NH3 is highly toxic, so it is converted into urea.
• In liver failure, urea cannot be formed & blood ammonia
concentration is increased, which damages the brain
(Hepatic coma) & death.
• Normal blood urea = 20 - 40 mg %
• (In renal failure, blood urea = 200 mg%. This condition is
called as ‘Uraemia’)

125. Creatine / Creatinine
• Creatine phosphate is present in the muscles & due to
high energy phosphate compound, take part in the
contraction of skeletal muscle.
• A part of creatine phosphate is converted into
‘Creatinine’ & is excreted through the urine, as a
creatine.
• Normal serum creatine = 0.6 - 1. 5 mg%
• In renal failure serum creatinine ↑.

128. 3) Fat Metabolism
• Among different types of lipids, Triglyceride
mainly generate energy.
• Fatty acids of ‘Triglycerides’ are the main agent
for ‘ATP Generation”.
• Triglycerides are hydrolyzed in adipose tissue.
Fatty acid are release & appear as FFA (Free
Fatty Acid).
• Plasma albumin & FFA complex in the plasma is
mainly transported.

130. 3) Fat Metabolism
• FFA are brought to different organs (liver, muscle &
heart) where further catabolism occurs.
• Fatty acids are catabolised by a process called
oxidation within the mitochondria.
• The end products of fatty acid catabolism are active
acetate molecules which immediately enter into ‘Krebs’s
cycle’.
• The H atom liberated during oxidation are removed by
respiratory chain (H carrier system)
