7/31 Flashcards
lowers LDL
inhibits HMG CoA reductase in liver, so more LDL is cleared from circulation with increased LDL receptors
statin
myopathy, hepatotoxicity
lowers LDL
bile acid binding resins
liver must use cholesterol to make more
Cholestyramine
GI upset
lowers LDL
blocks intestinal absorption of cholesterol at brush border
Ezetimibe
diarrhea
lowers Triglycerides
upregulates LPL to increase triglyceride clearance
activates PPAR-alpha to induce HDL synthesis
Fibrates
myopathy, esp with statins
cholesterol gallstones
lowers LDL, increases HDL
inhibits lipolysis via inibiting HPL
reduces hepatic VLDL synthesis
Niacin/B3
red/flushed face
hyperglycemia
hyperuricemia
GLP-1 agonist
decrease gastric emptying
Exentide
pancreatitis
requires some functional beta cells
DPP-4 inhibitor
decrease gastric emptying by preventing breakdown of GLP-1
-gliptans
nasopharyngitis
inhibits TPO and 5’deiodinase
inhibits TPO only
PTU
methimazole
bind hydroxyappetite to inhibit osteoclasts
bisphosphonate

ovarian cancer
calcitonin
medullary thyroid cancer
thyroid:
most absence of capsular vascular invasion
“colloid-containing micro follicles”
usually nonfunctional, painless
thyroid adenoma
thyroid: most common, excellent prognosis Orphan Annie Eyes psammoma bodies nuclear grooves RET and BRAF mutations ionizing radiation
Papillary carcinoma
thyroid:
invades thyroid capsule and vasculature
UNIFORM follicles
RAS mutation
follicular carcinoma
thyroid: from parafollicular C cells produces calcitonin sheets of cells in amyloid stroma (Congo Red) MEN2A/B (RET) mutation
Medullary carcinoma
