ENZYMOLOGY Flashcards
Uses olive oil or triolein as substrate ( TAG + H2O in the presence of LIPASE will produce GLYCEROL and FATTY ACIDS) FA will be SUBSEQUENTLY TITRATED
Cherry-crandall method (LIPASE DETERMINATION)
Measures the rate of clearing as fats are hydrolyzed by LPS
TURBIDIMETRIC METHOD ( LPS DETERMINATION)
Based on coupled reactions with Glycerol Kinase and Peroxidase ( detection of glycerol)
Colorimetric methods (LPS determination)
Reference value for LPS
<38 U/L
Significance:
Hepatolbilliary disorders, Alcoholic Liver Disease, Microsomal induction by drugs and alcohol; also used to ID the source of increased ALP
GAMMA GLUTAMYL TRANSFERASE (GGT)
>GGT and 5NT = hepatolbilliary disorders
Normal GGT and >5
NT = Biliary obstruction
Best enzymatic marker for ALCOHOLISM
GGT
Clinical significance:
INTRAHEPATIC CHOLELSTASIS
also use to ID source of elevated ALP
5` Nucleotidase
Major source of ACP
Prostate, RBCs
Significance of ACP
Prostatic Cancer, hyperplasia, RAPE CASES
ACP determination
Roy method:
Substrate: Thymophthalein Monophosphate
CHEM. INHIBITION:
- TARTRATE ( - prostatic ACP)
- COPPER AND FORMALDEHYDE (- RBC ACP)
Aldolase significance
Skeletal muscle disorders
Enzyme responsible for BP regulation
Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE)
Glycogen phosphorylase significance
AMI
Pancreatic marker
Increased in acute pancreatic insufficiency
And decreased in chronic pancreatic insufficiency
Trypsin
Miscellaneous enzymes that are only significant when increase
ACP
ALDOLASE
GUTAMATE DH
GLUTARHIONE-S-T
ACE
GLYOCGEN PHOSPHORYLASE
TRYPSIN
Miscellaneous enzymes that are only significant when decrease
Chymotrypsin/Elastase 1
G-6-PD
PK
pseudo ChE
