Q

Which conditions would be of concern in a patient with ANorexia nervosa who has been under consuming calories for several months and is at risk of refeeding.

A

Hypophosphatemia

Hypophosphatemia is a condition characterized by low levels of phosphorus in the blood123. It can be caused by decreased intestinal absorption, increased urinary excretion, or movement of phosphate into cells1. Symptoms include muscle weakness, respiratory failure, heart failure, seizures, and coma

Q

what is an snp? (mutations)

A

Very specific mutations that are inheritable may or may not have consquences.

A single nucleotide base substitution in a gene may result in significant phenotypic alteration.

Over one million such substitutions (single nucleotide polymorphisms) have been identified. Alterations of greates interest are those that cenfer a significantly increased or decreased risk for the development of a disease condition.

Inheritable. expressive alterations. snps that increase or decrease disease risk.

Q

heterozygous vs homozygous

A

Homozygous : tow idenitical versions (alleles) of that gene. Wild type homozygous “normal” Homozygous polymorphism- 2 copies of the genetic variant Ex: CC TT
two recessive genes, homozygous recessive gene. Wild type is better.

Heterozygous: an individual for a gene when they have two different alleles for that gene, potentially only 1 copy of the genetic variant. These do not penetrate the phenotype as much as a homozygous mutation. CT, AG

celiac or MTHFR

A

chai latte with coconut milk
no milk and lower caffeine

27
Q

Pathways

A

Folate cycle- glycine and serine fuel mitochondrial enzymes through purine production

Methionine cycle- s-adenosylmethionine (SAM) serves both hydrocarbons and polyamines.

Transsulfuration pathway-synthesis of glutathione, which is involved in the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Amine and catecholamine pathway- Neurotransmitter synthesis and metabolism

28
Q

BMI

A

should only be used as a directional heuristic and combined with other factors in considering an individuals health.

Underweight: BMI is less than 18.5
Healthy weight: 18.5 to <25
overweight: 25.0 to <30
Obese: 30 or higher.

29
Q

Methyltransferase

A

eclectic mix of enzymes of which the majority, over 95 %, uses s-adenosyl -l-methionine ( Ado-Met) as the methyl donor.
The basic methyl tranfer reaction is the catalytic attack of a nucleophile (carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, or sulfur) on a methyl group to form methylated derivatives of proteins, lipids, polysaccharides, nucleic acids, and various small molecules.

Such Methyl conjugation is an important pathway in the metabolism of many drugs and xenobiotic compounds, in addition to endogenous neurotransmitters and hormones; methylation is fundamental to the conrtol of gene transcription.

Moving methyls around putting on proteins and lipids wherever they need to go.

MEthylation turns genes on or off.

30
Q

Phase II detoxification (conjugation pathways) : Glucuronidation

A

Location: phase 2 pathway

Processes: alcohol, phenols, and carboxylic acids (hormones/steroids, bile acids, salicylates).

MEtabolizes: Phenobarbital, warfarin, nicotine, marijuana, naproxen, estradiol, salicylates, menthol, vanilla, chlorine, aspirin…Dopamine, serotonin.

Enemies: BPA is metabolized via UGT//B-Glucoronidase (cleaves glucuronic acid)

B-Glucoronidase (produced as an enzyme by gut bacteria)

31
Q

UDP- glucuronosyltransferases (aka UGT)

A

Essential in enhancing the elmination of toxins in feces and urine, as well as metabolizing bilirubin and steroids hormones.

UDP polymorphisms are associated with hereditary unconjugated hyperbilirubinermias: Crigler-Najjar syndrome type I, Type II and Gilberts syndrome.

Bioactive compounds, cruciferous vegetables, citrus and resveratrol induce UGT enzymes.

32

Enzymes: GST, GSS, GSR

Co Factors: NAC, vit C, Vit E

MEtabolizes: Heavy metals, solvents, herbicides.

34
Q

GST (p or M)

A

-Main function is the conjugation of the sulfur group on glutathione (GSH) to produce a water soluble compound excreted via bile or urine.

-They play an important role in antioxidant defense and detoxification

-Foods such as alliums, cruciferous vegetables, and resveratrol have been shown to induce GSTs in humans.

-GST, GSR, GSS

35
Q

What are some nutrition related snps that may impact diseases? what is our scope

A

PKU: autosomal recessive disorder (homozygous) casued by mutations in both alleles of the gene for PHENYLALANINE hydroxylase (PAH) but what if someone is heterozygous and only has 1 copy of the mutation gene?

Celiac Disease: HLA DQ2 and HLA DQ8
But these do not “guarantee” that someone has celiac disease

36
Q

35 year old individual has been working night shifts for an extended period. digestive issues, dry skin, thinning eyebrows, weight gain. What nutrient assessment tools,

A

24 hour recall, analysis, along with CBC, CMP, and hormone profile test to assess melatonin, and cortisol levels, and thyroid function

37
Q

Short chain fatty acids are made in the gut by processing what type of food?

A

carbohydrates (Fiber)

Types of short chain fatty acids:
1. Butyrate (commonly found in butter)
2. acetate
3. Proprionate

important for microbiome stability. Give first. Needing to get PH down in gut. Helps create stable environment for good bacteria to go.

If SFA are low. Supplement first before giving probiotics.

38
Q

Essential fatty acids

A

Omega 6 (linoleic acid) : vegetable oils, safflower oils, meat, poultry, eggs, corn oil pecans, brazil nuts, Sunflower seeds, sesame oil.

Omega 3 (a-linoleic) Green leafy vegetables, flax, chia seeds, canola, walnuts, soybeans, oily fish, algae oil, krill oil, walnuts, flaxseeds, walnuts, canola oil, mustard, tofu, soybean oil,

Thalassemias are inherited blood disorders that result in abnormal hemoglobin.

MEditeranean countries

Thalassemias are genetic disorders.There are two main types, alpha thalassemia and beta thalassemia.The severity of alpha and beta thalassemia depends on how many of the four genes for alpha globin or two genes for beta globin are missing.

Common (More than 200,000 cases per year in US)

Is condition treatable?
Treatments can help manage condition, no known cure

Does diagnosis require lab test or imaging?
Rarely requires lab test or imaging
Time taken for recovery
Can last several years or be lifelong

Condition Highlight
Common for ages 15-50
More common in females
Family history may increase likelihood for some types

  • Increase sodium in your diet to 3000 mg to 10000 mg per day.
    -Drink 2-2.5 liters per day of fluids. water is a good choice. sports drinks ok.
    -small and frequent meals are better tolerated and reduce POTS symptoms.
    -Diet with high fiber and complex carbohydrates may help reduce blood glucose (sugar) spikes and lessen POTS symptoms.
  • Celiac is often comorbid. Also, frequent with anorexia, SJorgens.
  • Be careful with potassium.
    -sometimes can tolerate fruits. sometimes you have to take the fruits out.
