When you begin to metabolize stored fats at an accelerated rate.  How does this condition affect blood pH?

Well, this condition is checked for and measured in the laboratoy by screening and measuring acetones/ketones in the blood. Acetone/Ketone levels increase when stored fats are metabolized at an accelerated rate, known as "acidosis". The pH of the blood decreases. The real hint here is "Acetone", which is an acid.

The gallbladder stores bile, which is released when food containing fat enters the digestive tract, stimulating the secretion of cholecystokinin (CCK). The bile emulsifies fats and neutralizes acids in partly digested food. After being stored in the gallbladder, the bile becomes more concentrated than when it left the liver, increasing its potency and intensifying its effect on fats.\n\nthis is the only link that I can locate on diabetic and gallbladder\n\nhttp://www.nel.edu/24_12/NEL241203A11_Kayacetin.htm

CO2 +H2O<-->H2CO2<---->HCO2 + H\nCarbonic Acid can react with Hidrogen ions (which lower the pH of the blood) to form bicarbonate; which can be later removed by the system in the kidneys or through respiration.  The formation of bicarbonate removes an H ion from solution thus helping mantain pH equillibrium in the body at around 7.4

I said "F" at first, but actually, I think it's "E" because fatty acids can be used by the brain during starvation, but as ketone bodies, not glucose as the question asks.

A low-fat diet for some metabolic types can cause changes in your cholesterol profile that may lead to an increased heart disease risk.  Starving your body of good fats is especially dangerous for your heart.

The majority of fatty acids are metabolized using beta-oxidation. Essentially, a series of four enzymes oxidize the beta-carbon, shorting the fatty acid chain by two carbons. The electrons lost are transferred to electron carriers, and a molecule of acetyl-CoA is produced.\n\nOne round of beta-oxidation produces 1 QH2, 1 NADH, and 1 acetyl-CoA molecule. The citric acid cycle is used to convert the molecule of acetyl-CoA into 3 NADH, 1 QH2, and 1 GTP. Through oxidative phosphorylation:\n\n2 QH2 --> 4 ATP (2 per QH2)\n4 NADH --> 12 ATP (3 per NADH)\n1 GTP --> 1 ATP\n\nEach round of beta-oxidation shortens the fatty acid chain by two carbons and produces 17 ATP. Therefore, one molecule of palmitoleic acid, which contains 16 carbons, could undergo beta-oxidation 7 times and produce 131 molecules of ATP!\n\nPS The answer directly below mine is for one molecule of glucose... Not what you want. Lipids don't go through glycolysis. Acetyl-CoA also cannot enter gluconeogenesis in humans either because we lack the enzyme needed to enter the glyoxylate cycle.

Metabolism is a measure of how quickly chemical reactions take place in the body. (Since these require energy it is often referred to syonmously as energy use). \n\nDifferent people have different metabolic rates, mostly based on the proportion of their body weight that is made up of lean muscle mass which one of the most metabolically active in the  body (the nervous system and the liver are more active but make up smaller percentages of the body so their effect is neglegable by comparison).\n\nWhen energy is generated from food storage (glocose or fatty acid chains), a couple of different "metabolic" pathways can be taken. First gluclose can be converted anerobically into pyruvate and two high-energy ATP andeosene-tri-phospate molecules. Then it may be further processed in a mitochondria in a process called the Krebs cycle into ATP, CO2, and water. Fatty acid chains, unfortunately, can only be processed aerobically. After some pre-processing they can also enter the Krebs cycle.

Fasting (while still consuming plenty of water and fruit juice) gives your digestive system a rest and flushes toxins out of your system. \n\nKeeping your body in an alkaline state is essensial for good health, as cancer and other diseases can only thrive in an acidic body. Improper eating habits, lack of exercise, and emotional stress lead to an acidic pH level in your body. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, exercize regularily, be optimistic, laugh often, and consume animal products and refined foods sparingly, if at all, for an alkaline body. \n\nI fast for 24 hours once a week and keep a steady vegetarian diet with minimal refined foods and, except for the occasional sniffles, I haven't been sick in 2 years.

5. Water Intake -- From the standpoint of water intake and fat loss, you want to be in a position where the liver is converting stored fat to energy. The liver has other functions, but this is one of its main jobs. Unfortunately, another of the liver’s duties is to pick up the slack for the kidneys, which need plenty of water to work properly (more than most people realize). \nIf the kidneys are water-deprived, the liver has to do the work of the kidneys along with its own (lowering its total productivity in the process). The liver then can’t metabolize fat as quickly or efficiently. If you allow this to happen, you’re setting yourself up to store fat because you've made the liver less efficient at turning stored body fat to energy. \n\nUsually if you multiply .55 times your weight, that should be enough in ounces of water to suffice. Water is the under rated fat loss tool.

The ph has a huge effect on the Respiratory system.\nYour body will try to compensate to keep your ph between 7.35-7.45 at all times.\nCo2 is acid\nHCO3 (bicarb) is a buffer\nand they will be adjusted to regulate the ph\nThe way the respiratory system is involved is with the co2\n\nwhen a patient ie... diabetic ketoacidosis has a bicarb of 5, ur body is extremly aciddic... so the respiratory rate will increase and u will have kussmal respirations, fast and hard.... ur body is trying to blow off co2, to make the body more alkolitic.. and raise the ph from the lowered hco3...\n\nnext when a patient is retaining co2, and the ph goes way down, the hco3 goes up to try to bugger the acidic effect of the co2, ur body will breathe slower... and this is a respiratory failure...

As far as a blood test determining triglyceride levels is concerned, for 12 to 14 hours before the test, only water is permitted.\n\nOvernight fasting is essential for an accurate measurement of blood triglycerides!\n\nIn addition, alcohol should not be consumed for the 24 hours just before the test.\n\nYou are also not supposed to take any vitamin supplements 24 hours prior to your fasting blood work. If you are currently on antihistamines, antibiotics or cortisone treatment only, you need to call the lab or your doctor for more information on how to proceed.\n\nAnything taken in, other than water, during that time can elevate the blood triglycerides as they change dramatically in response to meals. Without the proper fasting, they can easily be high enough to prompt your doctor to prescribe drugs.\n\nHowever, even fasting levels may vary considerably day to day. Therefore modest changes in fasting triglycerides measured on different days are not considered to be abnormal.\n\n(Note:  Researchers from Saint Louis University School of Medicine, Missouri have found that high triglycerides block leptin - a hormone secreted by our fat cells - from getting into the brain by impairing its transportation system (Diabetes, 2004: May).\n\nAs a result, leptin cannot do its work in turning off feeding and burning calories.\n\nIn other words, high triglycerides make the brain "think" the body is starving so we keep eating and... gaining weight. This is probably one of the reasons why so many people are becoming obese.\n\nBy lowering triglycerides then, we could help the body's own leptin to work better so we could get skinnier avoiding heart problems, cancer and diabetes - common chronic diseases linked to obesity.)

The idea behind the diet is that if we take in extra carboyhyrates, our body will use them and our fat stores won't decrease.  So what the diet tries to do is limit carbs and put the body into a state of ketosis.  Ketosis is what happens when the body starts to break down fat and protein for energy because it will lead a release of acid and thus make your blood more acidic.  This is where the kidney problems come in.  The idea of the diet itself is if the body is in a ketotic state it will burn fat for fuel and thus people will lose fat.  Excersising should be done at a normal level but if you excersise you  must make sure to take in enough carbs to give yourself energy and replenish your glycogen stores without taking your body out of ketosis.  This depends on the idividual person and the amount of excersise they do.  I cannot give you a number.  Most people think that it is a low carb and high fat and protein diet, but the real idea of it is a low carb and low calorie diet because the people who eat the same amount of calories because they just add fat and protein are defeating the purpose of the diet and are actually going to gain weight (cause fat has more calories per gram than carbs) and will also give themselves heart disease along with kidney problems.  The best advice is to pick up his book and read it, the first one, because if you pick up the second one you will get lost.  think long and hard and do your research about the diet before you start it.  also, go see your local dietitian and they will be able to provide you with more information.

Saliva helps to masticate food and adds fluid so swallowing is easier.  It contains amylase which begins assisting in chemical break down of starches.\n\nOur body, serum has a pH of 7.40 +/- 0.02.  Only under extreme circumstances would our body pH deviate beyond the variance above.  Eating would not change it.  \n\nSwallowing a whole bottle of aspirin might, though (aspirin is an acid).  The kidneys and our respiration system would work very hard to get it back to normal as soon as possible.

According to Webster, metabolism is "the chemical and physical processes continuously going on in living organisms." Unfortunately, not all of us living organisms have metabolisms that "process continuously" in the same. Some have fast ones, others slow.\n\nMany of our site visitors have written to us with questions about speeding up or slowing down their metabolisms. Both "Alis" and "Athan" have questions about speeding up their metabolisms. "Alis" asks what vitamins, when taken properly, can help speed up metabolism. While, "Athan" wants to know "if there are foods that will help speed up your metabolism. I know there are drugs that supposedly help speed up met an, and exercise also helps. I run 4-6 miles a day and eat about 7 servings of fruits and vegetables. I have lost 48 lbs., but am having problems getting the last 12 lbs. off."\n\nThe metabolic rate varies from one person to another and is affected by sex, age, and amount of lean body mass (muscle). Many vitamins and minerals are involved in the metabolic processes in the body, however, once the required amount is obtained, the excess is either eliminated or stored in body tissues. Toxic amounts of vitamins and minerals may lead to serious health consequences. Iodine, for example, forms part of the thyroid hormones that regulate metabolism. An iodine deficiency results in sluggishness and weight gain. Excessive intake can enlarge the thyroid gland (as does a deficiency), a condition known as goiter. Herbs associated with weight loss, such as Ephedra (Ma Huang), are stimulants of the nervous system and can lead to side effects such as nervousness, tremors, sleeplessness, and loss of appetite. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not regulate herbs and supplements, so you can't always be assured of the quality of what you are purchasing. It is uncommon for a particular food to have the required medicinal properties to treat a medical condition.\n\nThere are certain foods that contain nutrients that can resolve a state of deficiency if that is an issue of concern. However, this needs to be evaluated before making a recommendation. What is important in every case is the recommendation to eat a variety of foods in adequate amounts to meet individual needs while maintaining a desirable body weight. Eating a healthy, balanced diet will usually provide the necessary nutrients for normal body processes. Exercise, probably due to an increase in muscle mass, does increase the body's metabolic rate. The amount depends on type and duration as well as percent of existing muscle mass. It is the only completely safe (unless contraindicated by a medical condition) and natural method to increase the metabolic rate. If you have difficulty maintaining a desired weight, you may need the help of a registered dietitian who can provide an individualized and safe plan that addresses your specific needs. Also, check with a doctor. A physical exam can rule out any medical conditions that affect body weight.\n\nThere are many weight loss products available that claim to curb your appetite, melt away fat or increase your metabolism. Be aware that using some of these without medical clearance and guidance may be harmful.\n\n"Susan" is curious to find "if there is any advantage to taking amino acid supplements. I suffer from depression and am currently taking Effex or XR. While it helps me feel normal, some of the side effects are feeling tired and weight gain."\n\nAmino acids are the building blocks of proteins, which include neurotransmitters such as serotonin. Neurotransmitters transmit nerve impulses through nerve cells (neurons). Some people diagnosed with depression have a deficiency of brain serotonin. Serotonin-deficient individuals should consume foods that are high in the amino acid tryptophan, such as milk, eggs, turkey, and lentils. Adequate protein intake minimizes the need for tryp

It's not C.  An increase in pH makes a solution more alkaline, meaning less H+ in the fluids.\n\nI'm going to say A here because a rise in pH is associated with increased O2 binding to hemoglobin.
