Malabs Flashcards
maldigestion
failure to breakdown (hydroxylse) complex nutrients
malabsorption
failure to transport simple nutrients and products of digestion
where are carbs absorped
jejunum>distal SB>duo
none in colon
4 steps to carb abs
1) physical denaturation (larger polys–>smaller polys via mastication to increase SA)
2) amylase (polys–>oligos + disach) *need netral PH
3) BB digestion: oligos –>monos (lactose, glucose, fructose)
4) CHO absorption
rate limiting step carbs
absorption not digestion except lactose in lactose intolerance
lactose absorbed by
lactase
glucose
cleaved one at a time from alpha dextrins via binfunctional enxymes
fructose
sucrase breaks sucrose into glucose + fructose (2 glucoses)
2 apical membrane transporters
GLUT5- fructose facilitated diffusion
SGLT1- glucose/galactose- active co transport with Na driven by Na/KaTPase on other side
GLUT2
facilitated diffusion on basolateral
during starvation
decrease energy therefore decrease Na/K ATPase so Na accumulate in cell whiel glucose still goes through GLUT2
colonic savage
2-20% of starch undigestable therefore bacteria ferment to small chain fatty acids, H20< Co2, H+ and methane and enterocytes abs small chain fatty acids for energy and caloric supllement
but if you increase ingestion or decrease fermentation (antibotics)–> less abs–>diarrhea
protein digestion
1) metabolic breakdown (proteins–>oligopeptides + amino acids)
2) gatric hydrolysis- low ph activates pepsin from ppsinogen–>digests 10-15% of dietary protein (not essential)
3) typrsin and luminal digestion
panc realeases trypsinogen–>enterokinases and trypsin turn tyrpsinogen to trypsin–>activates 4 other peptides–>autodigestion to turn off
4)absorption
3 ways of protein absorption
apical AA transporters
di,tri, tetra varrier molecules
paracellular **food allergies
disease of single aa transporter
asymptomatic
