acute, severe allergic response that results in lowered BP, respiratory and GI distress can be fatal
29
risk factors for allergies
family history of allergies history of prior allergen exposure GI permeability atopic dermatitis
30
give an overview of protein digestion/absorption
occurs throughout small intestine protein balance reflects the sum of protein synthesis and degradation protein turnover is dynamic
31
describe amino acids
proteins are made from 20 different AAs, 9 are essential each AA has an amino group, an acid group, a hydrogen atom, and a side group side group makes each AA unique
32
disorders of AA metabolism and transport
1 in 1000 newborns | autosomal recessive
33
discuss the biochemical pathways of protein digestion
pancreatic juices contain proteolytic enzymes in their inactive, precursor forms when juice enters duodenal lumen, trypsinogen contacts enterokinase expresses on enterocytes trypsinogen is cleaved to trypsin which can activate additional trypsin and the remaining proteolytic enzymes
34
absorption of proteins
dipeptides and tripeptides are transported into intestinal cells cytoplasmic peptidases hydrolyze them into AAs
35
where is excess protein stored?
it can't be | need to eat protein every day or the body breaks down tissues
36
what is Kwashiorkor protein malnutrition
``` fat & lean mass is lost edema from low plasma oncotic pressure hair pluckability & color change, skin breakdown, poor wound healing, dermatitis, edema trauma/sepsis patients susceptible requires aggressive nutrition support ```
37
marasmus
body fat stores have been exhausted due to starvation and muscle wasting follows
38
cachexia
state that involves substantial loss of fat and lean body mass in the presence of chronic inflammation and disease
39
nutritional consequences of kidney failure
accumulation of nitrogenous waste decreased production of active vit D decreased production of EPO decreased glucose production decreased degradation of bioactive peptides accumulation of water, Na, K, inability to handle phosphorus, magnesium, or other vitamins and minerals
40
diet for persons with CKD (stage 4)
``` energy intake: 25-35 kcal.kg low protein low sodium no fluid restriction low potassium low phosphorus moderate calcium individualize vit D, iron, and zinc ```
41
why control energy intake in CKD?
``` minimize protein energy malnutrition tissue catabolism increases the kidney load of nitrogenous waste indirectly limits phosphorus less protein-induced hyperfiltration lowers intraglomerular pressure ```
42
effects of protein restriction of diabetic nephropathy
slows progression
43
what is celiac disease
adverse response to gluten storage proteins (gliadin) that triggers an immune response resulting in damage to the mucosa of the small intestine
44
3 components necessary for development of Celiac's
1. you must inherit the gene (HLA, DQ2 and/or DQ8) 2. consume gluten 3. have the gene triggered (stress, trauma, viral infection)
45
health risks associated with celiac
``` classic steatorrhea increased stool mass weight loss, weakness iron def anemia metabolic bone loss inflamed mucosa ```
46
symptoms of inflamed mucosa
edema, protein malabsorption non-absorption of healing agents leaky gut
47
long term effects of celiacs
undiagnosed or poor diet adherence have increased mortality metabolic bone disease increased risk of DM1 and thyroiditis increased risk of non Hodgkin lymphoma
48
effect of gliadin
triggers immune response | more permeable intestine increases gliadin peptide access to immune cells
49
consequences of gliadin ingestion
villous atrophy decreased surface area for absorption chronic inflammation downregulates transport proteins in epithelium decreased CCK and secretin resultin in pancreatic insufficiency bacterial overgrowth
50
diarrhea in celiac
steatorrhea due to changes in jejunal mucosal function secondary lactase deficiency bile acid malabsorption endogenous fluid secretion from crypt hyperplasia
51
long chain triglyceride digestion and absorption
1. digestive phase that includes lipolysis and micelle formation requiring pancreatic lipase and conjugated bile acids respectively 2. absorptive phase for mucosal uptake and re-esterification 3. postabsorptive phase that includes chylomicron formation and exit into lymphatics
52
medium chain triglyceride digestion and absorption
1. do not require pancreatic lipolysis, absorbed intact by intestinal epithelim 2. after absorption, MCTs are hydrolyzed by MCFAs 3. MCT exit is via portal vein and not lymphatics
53
malabsorption of lipid
``` usually do to lipase deficiency -pancreatic disease > inadequate lipase -hypersecretion of gastric > low duodenal pH > inactive lipase depleted bile acids pool -ileal resection -bacterial overgrowth ```
54
symptoms of malabsorbed sugars
bloating gas explosive diarrhea
55
symptoms of protein malabsorption
dry hair hair loss fluid retention (edema, swelling)
56
symptoms of fat malabsorption
light colored, foul smelling stools that are soft and bulky
57
diet for person on stage 5 dialysis
``` increased energy intake from stage 4 increased protein from stage 4 low sodium fluid restriction low phosphorus moderate calcium moderate potassium ```
58
multivitamin for person on dialysis
renal vitamin to supplement B and C vitamins sometimes have zinc and iron too take after dialysis so nutrients aren't lost
59
fat soluble vitamins and dialysis
A,D,E,K | too large to pass through dialyzer membrane, can accumulate in blood at dangerous levels
60
water soluble vitamins and dialysis
B,C | pass through membrane and removed from body with fluid and wastes
61
normal fat soluble vitamin absorption
A,D,E,K ingested as esters digested by cholesterol esterase highly insoluble in gut, absorption dependent on incorporation into micells
62
normal water soluble vitamins absorption
thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, pyridoxine, pantothenate, biotin and ascorbic acid are Na+ dependent co-transport folate is Zn dependent B12 more complicated
63
causes of B12 def
decreased absorption ability | achlorhydria, esp in elderly
64
consequences of B12 def
pernicious anemia nerve degeneration, weakness tingling/numbness in extremities paralysis and death
65
calcium digestion and absorption
30-80% of ingested is absorbed intestinal transport process regulated by calcitriol calcitriol level falls with increased plasma Ca2+ absorption increased with Ca2+ def
66
iron digestion and absorption
3-6% of ingested iron is absorbed most of iron in diet is ferric, but ferrous (Fe2+) is absorbed Fe3+ reduced to Fe2+ by ascorbic acid in lumen absorption regulated by dietary intake, current state of iron stores, and state of EPO
67
anabolic pathways
reactions that form cellular molecules energy requiring molecules are building blocks for macromolecules (proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, etc)
68
catabolic pathways
CHO, protein, and fat oxidized to CO2 and H2O and liberated electrons passes to O2 to make ATP principle pathways: glycolysis, TCA, ETC, oxidative phosphorylation, hexose monophosphate shunt
69
hormones secreted in fed state
glucose dependent insulinotropic peptide (+ insulin) CCK (+ gallbladder contraction) gastrin (+gastric motility and gastric acid release) secretin (+pancreatic juice and enzyme secretion)
70
chemical messengers stimulating hormone secretion in fed state
glucose AAs FAs
71
importance of insulin
primary hormone responsible for direction of energy metabolism during fed state
72
very fast insulin effects
insulin stimulated membrane changes | GLUT4 translocation
73
fast insulin effects
activation of inhibition of enzymes | insulin stimulated synthesis of glycogen, TG, and protein while inhibiting opposing catabolic actions
74
slower insulin effects
further regulation of enzyme action by selective induction or repression of enzyme synthesis increased glucokinase synthesis by promoting gene activity
75
slowest insulin effects
promotion of growth through mitogenesis and cell replication
76
effects on insulin on muscle and adipose
uptake of glucose via translocation of GLUT4
77
effects of insulin on adipose
increases fatty acid uptake and TAG storage via increase in activity of lipoprotein lipase concomitantly, insulin decrease lipolysis via decrease in activity of hormone sensitive lipase
78
endocrine function in fasting state
liver glycogenolysis is used to maintain blood glucose levels and fatty acids are used to make ketone bodies for organ systems and tissues to use for gluconeogenesis decreasing overall demand and depletion of glucose use and stores
79
substrates for gluconeogenesis in liver
lactate glycerol alanine
80
stimulants of hepatic gluconeogenesis
glucagon epi & NE low levels of insulin
81
glucagon overview
synthesized in a cells of pancreas secreted when circulating glucose is low (some AAs like alanine stimulate secretion) primary site of action is liver increased cAMP levels in cell to phosphorylate proteins
82
glucose metabolism in fed state
liver takes up blood glucose and stores as glycogen or converts to adipose
83
fat metabolism in fed state
packed into CM or packaged at liver in VLDL and transported in circulation to adipose for storage
84
AA metabolism in fed state
processed at liver to be stored as glycogen, used to make fat, or sent to muscle used by various tissues to synthesize proteins and nitrogen-containing compounds
85
glucose metabolism in postabsorptive early fasting state
liver glycogen major provider of glucose for whole body when glycogenolysis is occurring, synthesis of glycogen and TG in the liver is diminished and gluconeogenesis begins to increase to help maintain blood glucose levels -lactate from muscle and RBCs important source of carbons for GNG -glucose-alanine cycle provides pyruvate for GNG -glycogen lasts 24 hours
86
overall changes during fasting state (18-48 hours)
glycogen depleted and GNG picks up AA from muscle breakdown provide man of the substrates for GNG glycerol from lipolysis also and lactate from anaerobic metabolism of glucose also contributes the some extent
87
metabolism during the starvation state >2-3 days
metabolic shift to spare body protein GNG to lipolysis as fat becomes major supplies of GNG to spare protein glycerol liberated from TG breakdown still used by liver to make glucose blood levels of FA increase sharply amount of excess stores determine survival time
