Q

B12 deficiency

A
  • Macrocytic anemia, neuropathy
  • B12 stores last a long time

Q

Folate deficiency

A
  • usually dietary deficiency
  • **folate stores are short-lived so highly dependent on diet
  • macrocytic anemia without neurologic defects
20
Q

If B12 deficiency and supply folate, what happens?

A

macrocytic anemia will correct but neurological will become permanent

21
Q

Vit A deficiency and excess

A
  • Deficiency can cause blindness

- hypervitaminosis very toxic

22
Q

Vit D

-essential for what?

A

bone mineralization

23
Q

Vit E deficiency

A

usually due to malabsorption

24
Q

Vit E supplementation

A

causes more harm than good for CVD

25
Q

D-xylose test

31
Q

What does adiponectin do?

What happens when obese?

A

repairs vascular walls and regulates inflammation

A

higher level of inflammation within fat

33
Q

Drugs indicated for chronic obesity treatment

A

Xenical/orlistat

34
Q

short term weight loss drugs

A

amphetamines suppress appetite, other drugs with unintentional weight loss side effect

35
Q

Types of Bariatric surgeries

A
  1. Restrictive reduces stomach size for earlier satiety
  2. Malabsorptive more effective, prevents nutrients from being absorbed
  3. Combination also very effective- gastric bypass with some malabsorption
36
