Exam II-L9 Flashcards
What receptor is affected in CF?
Mutation in CFTR (chloride channel)
In CF, there is impaired chlorine transport, which leads to decreased secretion of ___ and increased uptake of ___ and ___
Less Cl secretion
More Na/water uptake
Why do individuals with CF frequently get infections?
Accumulation of mucus in lungs
Why do individuals with CF frequently have digestion and absorption problems?
Accumulation of mucus in pancreas causes blocked ducts (which deliver dig enzymes)
Where is SGLT2 expressed?
Function?
Express in kidney
Responsible for glucose reabsorption in kidney
SGLT inhibitors allow for excretion of excess ______ in the urine
blood glucose
True or False: SGL2 Inhibitors aid in weight loss and decrease BP
True
Where is dietary glucose absorbed? Via what transporter?
Intestine (SGLT1)
SGLT inhibitors block ___ from being reabsorbed in the kidneys
blood glucose
Which transporter facilitates the transfer of both glucose and sodium INTO the cell, with the energy of the sodium gradient
Symport SGLT 1
True or False: Glucose moves along its concentration gradient in the intestine, via Symport SGLT1
False - Glucose must move AGAINST its concentration gradient in the intestine, via SGLT1
Na/K Pump and GLUT 1 are examples of
Symporters/SGLT1
Does Symporter SGLT1 require ATP? Where does it find energy?
No
- Uses the energy of the sodium gradient
In SGLT1, Na/glucose are co-transported across apical membrane via SGLT. Excess sodium that has entered the cell is pumped out via: ____
NaK ATPase
In the presence of SGLT1, glucose is transported from the epithelial cell into the blood via a ______ on the basolateral membrane
glucose uniporter
