Cell Injury and Adaptation III Flashcards
1
Q
How do Hydroxyl radicals cause damage
A
- lipid peroxidation (damaging cell membranes)
- Damage to proteins (enzymes/structure)
- Single and Doublestranded breaks in DNA
2
Q
How can a large increase in Calcium levels contribute to damage?
A
Increases enzyme activity/ROS effects leading to membrane damage
3
Q
HIF-1
A
promotes blood vessel formation, and this causes diabetic retinopathy
4
Q
FAS
A
Binds to activator on T cells to start caspase
5
Q
Dystrophic Calcification
A
can occur at any calcium level
occurs in previously injured tissue (think heart damage)
6
Q
Metastatic Calcificiation
A
High calcium levels
often related to bone calcification
occurs
