Q

Bile Acid resins effect on lipid metabolism:

A
  • bind bile acids in digestive tract
  • prevent enterohepatic circulation
  • hepatic FXRalpha is not activated
  • leads to activation of CYP7A1 (neutral pathway)
  • inc in conversion of hepatic cholesterol into bile acids and depleted hepatic cholesterol levels –> inc uptake of blood cholesterol into liver
    OVERALL RESULT: lowering of total and LDL cholesterol levels in bloods bc of inc uptake into liver

Q

Bile Acid resins effect on glucose metabolism:

A
  • given to T2D’s; improved glycemic control
  • 13% reduction in blood glucose
17
Q

Using an FXR alpha -/- mouse revealed that is regulates _______ and _______

A

gluconeogenic genes ; HGP

18
Q

Role of MTP in TAG absorption:

A
  • ensures correct folding of APOB48
  • increases with diabetes (it is a pharma target)
19
Q

Orlistat:

A

inhibitor
alters fat absorption by inhibiting both pancreatic and gastric ligases directly
blocks intestinal lipid digestion therefore significant body weight reduction and various risk factors

20
Q

a) reduced; reduced
b) increased; reduced
c) reduced; increased
d) increased; increased

A

c) reduced; increased

21
Q

Lipid absorption is regulated at 3 stages:

A
  1. digestion 2. absorption 3. transport
22
Q

Enterohepatic circulation

A

c) LXR
d) FXRalpha
e) LXRalpha
f)CYP27A1

A

d) FXR alpha (bile acid sensor)

24
Q

Targeting lipid absorption with pharmaceutical therapies can _____ uptake of dietary lipids and ______ glucose homeostasis

A

reduce;improve
