Byeoinshallag Flashcards
Atherosclerosis is promoted by
LDL:HDL ratio higher than 3:1
Mechanism of LDL
Hyperglycemia increase LDL, which gets taken up by macrophage, causes macrophage to become foam cell, which causes narrowing
Normal total plasma cholesterol
200, high risk is above 240
Normal HDL cholesterol (male and female)
Male: 40-50
Female: 50-60
LDL cholesterol normal
less than 130
CK-MB important for diagnoses of
reinfarction or extension of infarction
______is an excellent indicator of early acute myocardial infarction
Isoform ratio of 1.5 or greater
Troponin is highly specific for _______.Its disadvantage is
For myocardial injury, more specific than CK-MB
Has continued elevation, can’t diagnose reinfarction
A __________can rule out myocardial infarction
negative myoglobin
5 risk factors of myocardial infarction
Obesity, sedentary lifestyle , diabetes, unhealthy food, family history
Role of insulin in regulation of blood glucose
Increase uptake of glucose
Increase utilization of glucose
decrease glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis
Ketone bodies
Acetoacetic acid - beta-hydroxybutyric acid - acetone
Causes of ketosis
decrease Insulin/anti-insulin ratio -> rate of ketogenesis exceeds rate of ketolysis as in:
Starvation - severe exercise
Ketogenic diet
Fats, FA, ketogenic aa and anti-insulins
Antiketogenic diet
carbohydrates, glucogenic amino acid, glycerol and insulin
Importance of ketogenesis
- Of great importance during starvation when fat represents the main source of
energy - KB can be oxidized easier than FA during fasting
- Brain adapts for FA oxidation 5 to 6 days from starvation
- So ketogenesis represents a preparatory step performed by the liver for
complete oxidation of FA
Importance of C peptide
Measurement of endogenous insulin secretion in diabetics
2 Enzymes for insulin catabolism
GSH insulin transhydrogenase - insulin protease
2 Complications of DM
atherosclerosis - retinopathy
Metabolic diseases that can cause cataract
Diabetes mellitus
2 Tests for diagnosis of DM
Fasting and 2h post prandial blood glucose - OGTT
2 Tests for follow up (prognosis) of DM
Glycosylated Hb- Plasma fructosamine
2 Pathways activated and another 2 inhibited by insulin
Glycolysis, glycogenesis - Gluconeogenesis, glycogenolysis
Causes of insulin resistance
Hereditary: Insulin receptor mutation
Acquired: diet, physical activity
The most affected tissues by insulin resistance
Liver - muscle and adipose tissues
Causes of flat curve in OGTT
Malabsorption - Delayed evacuation - Hypopituitarism
Causes of lagging curve
Gastrectomy - Hyperthyroidism
Types of diabetic coma
Hyperglycemic: Diabetic ketoacidosis and Hyperosmolar coma
Hypoglycemic coma
Drugs used in treatment of diabetes
Sulfonylurea - Metformin
Normal blood glucose
Fasting: Less than 100 - 2h PP: less than 140
Diabetic blood glucose
Fasting: More than 126 - 2h PP :more than 200
Markers for diagnosis of myocardial infarction
CKmb-Troponins -AST - Lactate dehydrogenase - Myoglobin
Types of unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia (Jaundice)
- Neonatal physiological jaundice
- Hemolytic jaundice
- Congenital diseases (Crigler Najjar syndrome and Gilbert disease)
Causes of neonatal physiological jaundice
Increased hemolysis - Immature liver
Treatment of neonatal physiological jaundice
Phototherapy
Causes of hemolytic jaundice
Abnormal Hb Congenital spherocytosis Erythroblastosis fetalis Favism Malaria Incompatible blood transfusion
Types of conjugated hyperbilirubinemia
- Obstructive jaundice
- Hepatocellular jaundice
- Congenital diseases (Dubin Johnson and Rotor syndromes)
Causes of obstructive jaundice
Stone in common bile duct (CBD) - Cancer head of pancreas
Causes of hepatocellular jaundice
Viral hepatitis - Liver toxins
Type of jaundice characterized by elevation of both direct and indirect bilirubin
Hepatocellular jaundice
Mechanism of action of 2 anti-diabetic drugs:
Sulfonylureas: increase insulin secretion as it blocks ATP sensitive K channels.
Metformin: improve insulin sensitivity.
Acarbose: the intestinal absorption of carbohydrates.
GLP-1 Receptor Agonists does
increase insulin and decrease glucagon secretion
Components of spectrophotometer: 5
■ Light source (tungsten lamp) ■ Wavelength selector ■ Cuvette ■ Photodetector ■ Read out device
Examples of wave length selector (monochrmator)
Filter - Prism - diffraction grating
The uptake of glucose by adipose tissue and skeletal muscles after carbohydrate
feeding is enhanced by insulin through
GLUT-4
Urine is normal and stool is dark colored in
hemolytic jaundice
Urine is dark colored and stool is clay colored in
Hepatocellular jaundice and obstructive jaundice
Source of blood glucose during early fasting is
Liver glycogenolysis
The main action of GIT in regulation of blood glucose is
Prevents sudden increase in blood glucose
Post-prandial hypoglycemia occurs in
Gastrectomy
Pheochromocytoma causes
Hyperglycemic glucosuria
The commonest cause of hyperglycemic glucosuria
Diabetes mellitus
Kidneys decrease hyperglycemia by
Excretion in urine
Ketone bodies are by products of metabolism of
fat
Ketosis is largely increased during
Fasting
Insulin is a protein hormone formed of Amino acids:
51
Circulating C peptide contains………..amino acids::
31
Secretion of glucose occurs due to increased intracellular
Ca+2
Main amino acid that increases insulin secretion i
Arginine
Sulfonylurea is an anti-diabetic drug that increases insulin secretion through:
Blocking ATP sensitive K +channels
Vitamin D increases insulin secretion through:
Increases the intracellular Ca+2
Type I diabetes mellitus is mainly due to:
a. Autoimmune destruction of P cells
b. Viral destruction of P cells
Diabetic ketoacidosis is more common in type I diabetes mellitus due to:
Absence of insulin
Hyperosmolar non-ketotic coma is common in:
Elderly patient with type II DM
Metformin is used as anti-diabetic drug as it:
Increases insulin sensitivity
Which of the following hormones increases intestinal absorption of glucose
Thyroxine
In obstructive jaundice, which of the following enzymes is expected to be elevated
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP)
Unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia is caused by:
Hemolytic anemia.
