Q

clinical significance of cellulose?

A

we do not have enzymes that break down beta1,4 O-glycosidic bonds, so it helps with GI motility and defecation, prevents absorption of toxins and cholesterol, and helps to slow absorption/digestion and lessens glucose spike

Q

how does the duodenum neutralize stomach acids at the pyloric sphincter?

intestinal epithelial cells

40
Q

most common deficient enzyme?

A

lactase

Q

what occurs if there is damage to the mucosa after severe food poisoning or severe diarrhea?

A

patient may have trouble digesting lactose due to the physical damage done to the intestinal epithelial cells

43
Q

what occurs to make bloating, gas, and watery diarrhea?

A

the polymers in the lumen that are not broken down bring water into the lumen via the osmotic effects, then bacterial enzymes break them down, causing gas and bloating and watery diarrhea

44
Q

what is acarbose?

A

drug that blocks activities of pancreatic alpha amylase and brush border alpha glucosidases that have specificity for glucose

45
Q

what are the alpha glucosidases?

A

maltase which breaks down alpha1,4 bonds, and isomaltase which breaks down alpha1,6 bonds

46
Q

what does lactase cleave?

A

beta 1,4 O-glycosidic bonds

47
Q

what does sucrase cleave?

A

alpha 1,2 O glycosidic bonds

48
Q

what does maltase cleave

A

alpha 1,4 O blycosidic bonds

49
Q

what does isomaltase cleave?

A

alpha 1,6 O glycosidic bonds

50
Q

purpose of acarbose?

A

reduce rate of digestion similar to fiber, so that carbohydrates reach bloodstream slower to reduce glucose spike

51
Q

side effects of acarbose?

A

flatulence, diarrhea, caused by bacterial metabolism of nondigested sugars

52
Q

where is acarbose produced?

A

a microorganism, is a unique tetrasaccharide

53
Q

where is GLUT1 found?

A

RBC, BBB, blood retinal border, blood placental border, blood testis border

54
Q

where is GLUT2 found?

A

kidneys, liver, pancreatic beta cell, serosal surface of intestinal mucosa cells

55
Q

where is GLUT3 found?

A

brain

56
Q

where is GLUT4 found?

A

skeletal and cardiac muscle, adipose tissue

57
Q

how are sugars absorbed?

A

transported across intestinal epithelial cells and into blood via GLUT and SGLT

58
Q

where is SGLT1 found?

A

apical surface of intestinal epithelium

59
Q

where is SGLT2 found?

A

kidneys, reabsorbs glucose from the glomerular filtrate in the proximal tubules of nephrons

60
Q

what occurs if there are mutations in SGLT1

A

glucose and galactose are malabsorbed

61
Q

what do SGLT do?

A

cotransports 2 Na per 1 glucose or 1 galactose via secondary active transport

62
Q

what occurs if there are mutations in SGLT2?

A

familial renal glycosuria

63
Q

what do gliflozins do?

A

inhibit SGLT2 so that glucose is not reabsorbed into the blood, and is expelled in the urine

64
Q

what are the gliflozins?

A

jardiance, farxiga, invokana, steglatro

65
Q

what is the max capacity of glucose that SGLT2 can reabsorb?

A

200mg/dl, and then excretes into urine

66
Q

what is the pathway of insulin release in a pancreatic beta cell?

A
  1. glucose is brought into the pancreatic beta cell via GLUT2, and glucose is begun to be metabolized
  2. elevated ATP from metabolism leads to closing of the K-ATP channel, prevents K from exiting the cell
  3. charge within cell becomes more positive, depolarizing the cell
  4. depolarization causes voltage gated calcium channel to open and Ca enters the cell
  5. increased Ca in cell causes insulin release from B cells of pancreas
67
Q

what transporter is responsible for glucose entry into pancreatic beta cells?

A

GLUT2

68
Q

what is the pathway of glucose uptake in muscle and adipose tissue?

A
  1. insulin is released and binds to RTK, which autophosphorylates
  2. GLUT4 containing vesicles fuse with plasma membrane
  3. GLUT4 increases on cell membrane and increases rate of glucose transport into the cell
69
Q

what ways can GLUT4 be recruited?

A

insulin or AMP-dependent protein kinase during exercise

70
Q

pathway of GLUT4 activation in exercising muscle

A
  1. skeletal muscle uses ATP and makes AMP
  2. increased AMP increases AMP-dependent protein kinase
  3. AMPK recruits GLUT4 to promote glucose uptake and utilization
71
Q

what causes neonatal diabetes?

A

mutation in KCNJ11 gene

72
Q

what does KCNJ11 gene encode?

A

K+ ATP channel

73
Q

another name for neonatal diabetes

A

maturity onset diabetes of young (MODY)

74
Q

what is the consequence of mutating KCNJ11 gene?

A

eliminates the ATP dependent regulation of the channel and results in a perpetually open channel, therefor K can continually escape and cell hyperpolarizes and cannot open voltage gated Ca channels to cause release of insulin from pancreatic beta cells

75
Q

MOA of sulfonylureas

A

close ATP sensitive K channels in the pancreatic beta cells, thus stimulates the release of insulin

76
Q

what are the sulfonylureas?

A

glimepiride, glipizide

77
Q

what is a hypoglycemic response?

A

light headed, dizzy, sweaty, confusion, nausea

78
Q

what is the limiting factor for glucose metabolism in the neuronal cells?

A

glucose transport through GLUT1 and GLUT3, which is slow

79
Q

what is considered low blood glucose?

A

18-54mg/dl

80
Q

what causes hypoglycemic response?

A

blood glucose levels drop below Km for GLUT1 and then nervous system does not receive sufficient glucose to keep functioning properly

81
Q

what is unique about neural cells in the blood brain barrier?

A
  1. tight junctions betweeen endothelial cells
  2. narrow intercellular space
  3. lack of pinocytosis
  4. continuous basement membrane

82
Q

what is characteristic of non-neural “barrier”

A
  1. no tight junctions
  2. wide intercellular gaps

  5. glucose can diffuse between cells and into ISF
83
Q

what is GLUT1 deficiency syndrome?

A

84
Q

sx of GLUT1 deficiency syndrome?

A

seizures in infancy, developmental delay
