other sugars and lipids

52
Q

there are numerous genetic disease that stem from enzymes deficiencies in the glycolytic pathway
a deficiency in hexokinase type 1 causes what

A

haemolytic anemia ( red blood cell destroyed faster than can be made)

53
Q

Hexokinase II is a leading enzyme and glucose ‘sensor’ in insulin-sensitive tissues, and a defect causes what

A

type 2 diabetes

Glucokinase is also a glucose sensor, and low-activity and low-stability mutants can explain in part the
maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY).

54
Q

tarui disease

A

different amino acid substitutions of the muscle phophofructokinase causes an exertion myopathy and haemolytic syndrome

phosphofructokinase deficiency

55
Q

how many subunits does the neixyme phosphofructokinase have

A

3

PFKL (liver),
PFKM (muscle), and PFKP (platelet). The combination of these subunits varies depending on the tissue in
question.

In this condition, a deficiency of the M subunit (PFKM) of the phosphofructokinase enzyme impairs the
ability of cells such as erythrocytes and skeletal muscle cells to use carbohydrates (such as glucose) for
energy. Unlike most other glycogen storage diseases, it directly affects glycolysis.

The mutation impairs the ability of phosphofructokinase to phosphorylate fructose-6-phosphate prior to its
cleavage into glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate which is the rate limiting step in the glycolysis pathway.
Inhibition of this step prevents the formation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) from adenosine
diphosphate (ADP), which results in a lack of available energy for muscles during heavy exercise. This
results in the muscle cramping and pain that are common symptoms of the disease.

Q

what is hypoxic hypoxia

what is a symptom

A

PO2 is below normal either due to alveolar PO2 reduced ( envrionemtnal - due to altitude) or cannot equilibrate fully with alveolar air ( emphysema or fibrosis)

cyanosis - appearance of blue or purple coloration of the skin or mucous membranes due to tissues near the skin surface having low oxygen saturation

67
Q

what is anaemic hypoxia

A

lungs are in perfect condition
oxygen caring capacity of blood is reduced
CO produces this - bind to Hb with such affinity - tissues don’t get sufficient need to maintain metabolic need

68
Q

Circulatory hypoxia

A

lungs are fine and blood can carry sufficient oxygen

tissue is not receiving sufficient 02 as heart cannot pump blood to the tissue

e.g. sickle cell anaemia lead to this as the cell sickle block blood vessels

69
Q

Histotoxic hypoxia

A

cells have been poisoned
no problem getting O2 to tissues - lungs, blood and circulatory system all fine
the tissue is unable to use the oxygen

e.g. cyanide lead to this poisons system - cell thereof experience lack of O2 and are affected as if there was little/no oxygen available

70
Q

cyanosis

A

blue skin or mucous due to tissues near skin having low O2 saturation

71
Q

what is the first response of the body to hypoxia

A

goes into anaerobic respiration

loss of oxidative phosphorylation and decreased generation of ATP
The depletion of ATP results in failure of the sodium pumps, with loss of potassium, influx of sodium and
water, and cell swelling. There is progressive loss of glycolgen and decreased protein synthesis.

72
Q

the depletion of ATP pumps results in failure of what

A

failure of the sodium pumps, with loss of potassium, influx of sodium and
water, and cell swelling. There is progressive loss of glycolgen and decreased protein synthesis.

73
Q

when the cell swells as extra fluid builds up in the cell what happens to the cell

A

distended and cellular organelles appear to become
more spaced out within the cell. More importantly, most of the extra fluid actually builds within the
endoplasmic reticulum, causing the ER to appear much more distended. As time goes on, regions of the ER
burst and become encapsulated in clear vacuoles containing chunks of the ER. This is known as vacuole
degeneration.

74
Q

calcium ions

75
Q

a free radical

A

very unstable and highly reactive

76
Q

reactive oxygen species

A

collective term that includes oxygen radicals and certain non-radicals that are oxidising agents or/and easily converted into radicals
in other words all oxygen radials are ROS but not all ROS are oxygen radicals

77
Q

define oxidative stress

A

‘a disturbance in the pro-oxidant – antioxidant balance in favour of
the former, leading to potential damage’

The effects of oxidative stress depend upon the size of these changes, with a cell being able to overcome
small alteration and regain its original state. However, more severe oxidative stress can cause cell death,
and even moderate oxidation can trigger apoptosis, while more intense stresses may cause necrosis.

78
Q

mitochondria. Generation of mitochondrial ROS mainly takes place at the electron transport chain located
on the inner mitochondrial membrane during what process

A

oxidative phosphorylation.

82
Q

leakage electrons at what complex of the electron transport chain leads to partial reduction of oxygen to from superoxide

A

comple 1 and 3

Collectively, both superoxide and
hydrogen peroxide generated in this process are considered as mitochondrial ROS.

83
Q

what intracellular compartments are capable of ROS generation

(endogenous sources)

A

Intracellular compartments including mitochondria, the endoplasmic reticulum, peroxisomes,
nuclei, the cytosol, plasma membranes, and even extracellular spaces

84
Q

what is the major site of ROS production in most mammalian cells

A

mitochondrial electron transport chain

85
Q

exogenous sources of ROS

A

pollutants, radicals, smoke, food, drugs , heavy metals

86
Q

which base is the most susceptible to oxidative changes and why

A

guanine

lower reduction potential and hydroxyl radicals interact with the imidazole ring of this
nitrogen base at positions C4, C5 and C8.

The most studied marker for DNA oxidation is 8-
hydroxydeoxyguanosine, a product of guanosine oxidation by HO•

. This product is able to pair with

adenine, generating a GC/TA mutation upon replication.

87
Q

what are the 2 forms lipid per oxidation occurs

A

one enzymatically, involving the
participation of cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase in the oxidation of fatty acids and other nonenzyme
mediated, involving transition metal, reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species

88
Q

excess periodisation results are very damaging to the cell despite contribute to the inflammatory response , due to its importance of prostaglandin formation The action of free radicals on lipids leads to the formation of
lipid hydroperoxides and aldehydes that contribute further to increased cellular toxicity and can be
detected in biological samples to measure what

A

oxidative stress

89

G1 checkpoint - cell with this mutation fail to detect errors in DNA - or be Abel to signal repair enzymes - either apoptosis or cancer

95
Q

the human body is equipped with what to counterbalance the effect of ROS

A

antioxidants e.g. SAD,CAT and GPx

these E act by control or prevent formation of free radicals or ROS

Q

Since superoxide is the primary ROS produced from a variety of sources, its dismutation by SOD is of
primary importance for each cell.
there are different types such as SOD1,2 and 3
where are they all found

A

SOD1- cytoplasm of cells and some in inter-membrane space of mitochondria ( CU,Zn)

2- manganese one, mitochondrial matrix and produced in cytoplasm

3- tissues on the extracellular matrix on cell surfaces

97
Q

what does catalase do

A

catalyses the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen. Catalase
has one of the highest turnover numbers of all enzymes

98
Q

what is respiratory burst ( sometimes called oxidative burst)

A

rapid release of ROS ( superoxide radical and hydrogen peroxide) from different types of cells - usually fm immune cells such as neutrophils and monocytes

Respiratory burst plays an important role in the immune system. It is a crucial reaction that occurs in
phagocytes to degrade internalized particles and bacteria. To combat infections, immune cells use NADPH
oxidase to reduce O2 to oxygen free radical and then H2O2.

Neutrophils and monocytes utilize myeloperoxidase to further combine H2O2 with Cl−

to produce

hypochlorite, which plays a role in destroying bacteria.

99

A

NADPH oxidase

100
Q

hyperbaric oxygen therapy HBO is what

A

exposure of a patient to a partial pressure of oxygen greater than oee atmosphere - 5% more

10 to 15 times more oxygen

101
Q

A high partial pressure of oxygen in capillary blood provides a larger gradient for the diffusion of oxygen
from blood to tissues. This is especially useful in tissues rendered hypoxic by microvascular angiopathies
such as in diabetes and radiation necrosis.
true or false

A

true

102
Q

does the increased oxygen from HBO enhance the ability of white blood cells to kill bacteria , reduces swelling and allows new blood vessels to grow more rapidly into the affected areas.

A

yes It
does this in multiple ways, including acting as a bactericidal agent particular to anaerobic pathogens and
increases fibroblast and collagen production.

103
Q

Photodynamic therapy is a sophisticated and highly selective way to ablate tissue.
There are a number of applications of PDT
what are they

A 
Non-melanoma skin cancers
Lung cancers
Bladder cancers
Gynaecological cancers
Brain tumours
Acne
Age related macular degeneration
Warts

There are three main components in PDT these include a photosensitiser (a drug sensitive to light), tissue
oxygen and light. The combination of these three cause the destruction of cells by reactive oxygen species.
