28
Q

Incubate serum sample w/ olive oil –
serum sample contains the lipase that will
hydrolyze the olive oil

A

Cherry Crandall

29
Q

What are the several modifications of the Titrimetric method?

A

Cherry Crandall
Tietz-Fiereck
Bands and Ketty

30
Q

titration is carried out by ___________?

A

Potentiometry

31
Q

titration is carried out by potentiometry

32
Q

emulsion of fats produces milky
appearance.

A

Turbidimetric Methods

33
Q
  • A lot simpler and more rapid method
    than Titrimetric method.
  • Look at turbidity from the hydrolysis
    of TAG by lipase.
  • Formation of free fatty acids will
    cause the turbidity of the reaction
    mixture.
  • The more turbid, the more lipase
A

Turbidimetric Methods

34
Q

What modification of the turbidimetric method uses olive oil as a substrate?

A

Vogel & Zieve
Shihabi & Bishop

35
Q

What subtrate does DuPont ACA Method use?

36
Q

In Rosital Diffusion method, the enzyme is buffered into ________________.

A

agarose gel w/ deoxycholate & olive oil
emulsion

37
Q

At what temp is sample/serum incubated overnight in rosital diffusion method?

38
Q

What would be the end point of the RDM?

A

presence of clear
zone around the well.

39
Q

Describe lipase in relation to the diameter.

A

Diameter is directly proportional
to lipase concentration.
THE
HIGHER THE DIAMETER,
THE HIGHER LIPASE
CONCENTRATION will be.

40
Q

incorporate sodium deoxycholate, CaCl2, colipase

In the coupled enzymatic method, what would be the end product?

A

Chromogen formation

According to Henry and Tietz, how long would the lipase activity decreases/normalize?

A

Henry : 8-14days
Tietz : 7-14 days

55
Q

caused
by peritoneal absorption of pancreatic enzymes due
to perforation (‘butas’), causing a leakage of
pancreatic enzymes to other tissues surrounding
them.

A

Perforated Peptic Ulcer & Duodenal Ulcer

56
Q

may lead to stress on the
pancreas that will result in ischemia, then later on,
release of pancreatic enzymes into the circulation.

A

Intestinal Obstruction

57

58
Q

Enumerate the cause of lipase elevation

A

Perforated Peptic Ulcer & Duodenal Ulcer –
Intestinal Obstruction
Mesenteric Vascular Obstruction

59
Q

there is continuous depleted
damage to the pancreas, and there is a possible
scarring of the pancreas which will decrease the
production of pancreatic enzymes.

A

Chronic Pancreatitis

60
Q

an inherited/genetic condition. Production of thick mucous that can cover the
pancreas which can impair the ability of pancreatic
enzymes.

A

Cystic Fibrosis

61

causes extensive damage to
the pancreas leading to the decrease activity of
pancreatic enzymes.
