1
Q

A

A disease where there is an imbalance between the calories consumed and the energy expended with metabolic parameters and appetite regulation via gastric and the peripheral NS.

Q

How does ghrelin work and how is it affects obese people?

A

ghrelin produces gastric fundus and regulates appetite.
Normally after a meal, the hormone ghrelin is suppressed and appetite decreases but its not suppressed in obese people and they remain hungry.

Q

how do the anorexigenic intestinal hormones work and how is it affected in obese people?

A

GLP1 , CCK and PPY
They are involved in insulin secretion, digestion and post-digestive metabolism.
Obese people have a delayed, reduced or attenuated activity of these hormones.

Q

How does leptin work and how is it affects obese people?

Q

what is an intragastric ballon ?

A

a balloon is endoscopically inserted and inflated in the patient’s stomach for 6 months. The aim is for the patient to lose weight and is for patients who cannot undergo anesthesia.

Q

How is metabolism affected in obese people?

A

increase co

increased hepatic blood flow

17
Q

How is excretion affected in obese people?

A

increased eGFR

increased renal blood flow

18
Q

what changes happen to absorption post-bariatric surgery

A

ph changes
gt tract motility changes
reduction in gastric volume
Vd changes

19
Q

What ph changes happen to post-bariatric surgery?

A

partitioning of the stomach results in decreased HCL being produced so pH increases.
This affects the bioavailability of pH dependant drugs.

20
Q

What GI tract motility changes happen to post-bariatric surgery?

A

can increase and decrease

a drug needs enough time at the absorption site to be absorbed.

21
Q

What Vd changes happen to post-bariatric surgery?

A

as a patient loses weight the volume of distribution is altered.
increased lipid content and decreased water content.
Monitor lipid-soluble drugs and beta-blockers

22
Q

What changes happen due to the reduction in gastric volume to post-bariatric surgery?

A

The patient may develop dumping syndrome. which is cramping one hour after eating due to the rapid emptying of food into the small intestine. therefore absorptioon is affected.

23
Q

what happens if GI motility is too fast?

A

drug moves through the GI tract too fast and doesn’t get absorbed.

24
Q

what happens if GI motility is too slow?

A

slow drug onset, epithelium lining can be irritated and drug can be degraded.

25
Q

what drugs should you avoid post-bariatric surgery?

A

NSAIDs, bisphosphonates and aspirin because there is already increased damage to the mucosa so may cause irritation

Effervescent formulations as they may get stuck

Enteric coating as the patient has created a malabsorptive state for food and oral drugs

26
Q

what is early dumping?

A

Due to bariatric surgery
cramping occurs 1 hour after eating due to the rapid emptying of food in to the SI which releases Gi hormones which cause vasomotor symptoms

27
Q

what is late dumping?

A

Due to bariatric surgery
cramping 1-3 hours after food due to carbohydrate ingestion.
This is caused by the incretin-driven hyperinsulinemic response leading to hypoglycemia.

28
Q

what medicine formulations should be avoided post bariatric surgery

A

sugary formulations

consider liquid formulations instead of oeal

29
Q

what medicine formulations should be avoided post bariatric surgery

A

sugary formulations

consider liquid formulations instead of solid

30
Q

why do lipid-soluble drugs need to be monitored in obese people

A

lipophilic drugs distribute better in adipose tissue so they have a higher volume of distribution than hydrophilic drugs

31
Q

do obese people have changes to protein binding to albumin

A

no

32
Q

how does obesity affect protein binding?

A

it does not affect albumin protein binding
it affects the binding of R1-acid glycoprotein( AAG)
An increase in AAG binding increases the free fraction of the drug, so to avoid toxicity give lower doses.

33
Q

how does renal clearance change in an obese person ?

A

higher renal blood flow
higher glomerular filtration rate
higher creatin serum concs

34
Q

how does metabolism change in an obese person ?

A

higher cardiac output and liver blood flow due to an enlarged liver.
increased metabolic activity due to changes in fatty interfiltration.
Has increased glucuronidation and changes in teh antioxidant system.
