Consider a study that compares the Atkins diet to a conventional
diet. A study at the University of Pennsylvania selected a sample
of 63 subjects from the local population of obese adults.
Researchers randomly assigned 33 to the Atkins diet and 30 subjects
to a conventional diet. Test whether there is a significant
difference in the mean weight loss (measured in pounds) across the
two different diet programs.

Generate summary statistics (central tendency and variability
measures) for the...

Review the claims of the Atkins diet from the Atkins website.
Applying what was presented in chapter 2 part III, consider what
the weaknesses of such a diet might be? Consider also what are the
benefits of such a diet? After developing an informed opinion,
choose a position as either an Atkins Advocate (in favor of it) or
an Atkins opponent (against it). Identify your position and write a
convincing argument for or against the diet based on what you’ve...
Compare the DIGESTION of carbohydrates, fats and proteins in the
small intestine, and the ABSORPTION of carbohydrates,
fats and proteins in the small intestine.
Why must most material (such as proteins, lipids,
carbohydrates, and new organelles) be produced in the cell body? In
other words, why can’t these materials be built right in the
synaptic knobs if that is where they are needed?
Explain fast axonal transport, covering the following: How
fast is it? What structure in a neuron’s axon is used as a pathway
or “train track” for materials to be moved to and from the neuron
cell body (soma)? What proteins can...
1. Would a golfer benefit from a high-fat diet? Why or why not?
Explain with reasoning.
2. Should he/she eat fat during their practices or competition? Why
or why not? Explain with reasoning.
3. Should the
athlete eat any fat in their diet? Explain.
The ketogenic diet (or keto diet, for short) is a low-carb,
high-fat diet that is based on ketogenesis. Explain physiology of
ketogenic diet. Explain why a diabetic may benefit from ketogenic
diet. Explain the possible adverse side effects of ketogenic
diet
