Carbs and protein Flashcards
Sucrose
glucose and fructose
Lactose
Glucse and galactose
Salivary alpha amylase
secrete in the enzymatically active form
initiates starch digestion
inactivated by gastric acid
Pancreatic alpha amylase
completes starch digestion
stimulated by CCK
cannot digest terminal branch points
Membrane digestion
Step 2 after amylases
brush border oligosaccharideases
proximal jejunum
Lactase
membrane bound oligosaccharideases
digest lactose into glucose and galactose
decreased expression after infancy
Sucrase-isomaltase
membrane bound oligosaccharideases
cleaves sucrase and splits branch point
**essential for breaking down polysccharides with branch points
Na/Glucose transporter (SGLT1)
responsible for glucose and galactose uptake
secondary active transport (driven my Na/K ATPase
GLUT5
responsible for fructose uptake in jejunum
facilitated diffusion
DEPENDENT OF CONCENTRATION OF FRUCTOSE
GLUT2
transport of all three monos into the interstitium
at BL membrane
facilitated diffusion= concentration dependent
Lactose intolerance
most common in non-whites
due to epigeneitic down-regulation of lactase
cramps, diarrhea, flatus
Gut bacteria then break it down—>short chain FAs—>osmotic diarrhea
H+ is also absorbed–>H breath test
Glucose-Galactose absorption
defect in SGLT= no glucose or galactose uptake
—>osmotic diarrhea with decreased Na reabs via SGLT
tx= glu gal and lactose free diet =fructose based diet
Gastric protease
secreted as a proenzyme
pepsinogen—>pepsin =endopeptidase
Pancreatic protease
secreted as proenzymes
trypsinogen—>trypsin
trypsin then continues to autoacitvate and activate other enzymes
chymotrypsinogen
activated by trypsin
chymotrypsin
endo
proelastase
activated by trypsin to elastase
endo
procarboxypeptidase A and B
activated by trypsin
to carboxypeptidase A and B
exo
whole protein absorption: children
occurs in the neonate
passes Igs from mother to child
closure associated with corticosteriod use
whole protein absorption in adults
only small amounts occur 1) endycytoses into lysosomes by enterocytes 2) M cells package proteins as antigens important for mucosal immunity
Oligopeptide absorption
most absorbed as single AA, with small amts as di-, tri- or tetrapeptides
PepT1 H+ oligopeptide cotransporter
kinetic advantage over AA transporters in that substrate enters faster
actively driven by H+ Na+ gradient Created by Na/K ATPase and Na/H antiporter
Hartnup disease
AR disorder
defect in apical transport of neutral AA
sx= pellagra, ataxia, psych abnormalities
tx= high protein diet allows oligos to pass thru PEPt1
Cystinuria
AR disorder
defect in apical transport of basic AA and cyseine
sx= kidney stones
apical membrane single AA abs
either Na/K ATPase dependent=neutral AA
or independent= basic AA and cysteine
