Nutrition and GI Flashcards
Pepsinogen produced and stimulated by?
Pepsinogen —> pepsin by acid
Produced by chief cells
Stimulated by vagus nerve, histamine, gastrin
Intragastric protein digestion doesnt occur for first 5-8 days because of high stomach pH
Stomach acid produced by?
Parietal cells
Stimulated by vagus nerve, histamine, gastrin
Gastrin stimulated by?
Presence of food and stimulates enzyme pepsin and gastic acid secretion
Chymotrypsinogen and trypsinogen conversion
To chymotrypsin and trypsin by enterokinase in the intestinal mucosa
Glucoamylase
Carb digestion
Intestinal brush border enzyme
Removes glucose from end of starch
Disaccharidases maturation levels
Maltase, isomaltase, sucrase at adult levels by 28 weeks
Lactase not until 36 weeks
Role of CCK
Hormone that triggers release of pancreatic juice and bile
Decreases gastrin secretion
Secretin role
Hormone that stimulates pancreas to release bicarbonate which slows gastric emptying
GIP
Gastrin inhibitory peptide
Hormone that is stimulated by protein and fat
Slows gastric emptying
Decreases gastrin
Motilin role
Hormone that increases gastric emptying
Erythromycin is a motilin agonist
Benefits of early enteral feeding
^intestinal BF
^gut barrier defense (earlier intestinal closure)
^enzyme maturation
^motility
Earlier attainment of full enteral feedings
Common diagnoses with pancreatic insufficiency
Schwachman-Diamond syndrome: pancreatic insufficiency, BM dysfunction (neutropenia), short stature, normal bicarb secretion
CF: increased Cl in sweat (>50meq/L) but sweat test not reliable until >2kg
Conjugated hyperbilirubinemia ddx
Infectious (viral, toxo, syphilis, tb, listeriosis)
Toxin mediated (sepsis, drugs, PN)
Metabolic (galactosemia, GSD, tyrosinemia, A1AT deficiency, hypopit, hypothyroid, CF, Zellweger)
Genetic (Turner, T21)
Vascular (vascular anomalies, Budd chiari)
Neonatal leukemia, HLH, lupus
Intrahepatic duct disease (neonatal idiopathic hepatitis, Alagille)
Extrahepatic duct obstruction (biliary atresia, sclerosing cholangitis, bile duct stenosis, choledochal cyst, bile plug syndrome)
Colostrum whey to casein ratio
80 (whey) : 20 (casein)
Mature milk whey to casein ratio
55:45
Predominantly casein formulas whey to casein ratio
20:80
Predominantly whey formulas whey to casein ratio
80:20 or 60:40
