Q

Apathy, delusion, and delirium, caused by thiamin deficiency related to alcoholism is known as

Wernickes
Pellagra
Beriberi
Alcoholic dementia

A

Wernicke’s

Chronic thiamin deficiency combined with alcoholism often produces the Korsakoff Syndrome of mental confusion, memory loss, delusions, and amnesia or Wernicke Disease (apathy, delusion, and delirium). These may appear concurrently as Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome (alcoholic dementia). There is no known upper safe limit of thiamin intake (prolonged intakes of 500 mg/day have been shown to be without adverse effects).

stimulate, slow, increase

29
Q

Colonocyte proliferation requires which?

A

Polyamines

30
Q

What is the rate limiting enzyme for polyamine synthesis?

Protease
Amylase

31
Q

Diamine oxidase is stimulated by meat and alcohol. An increase in DAO function is associated with an _____ in colorectal cancer risk

Decrease
Increase

A

Increase

32
Q

What inhibits diamine oxidase? (more than 1)

Olive Oil
Calcium
Coconut Oil
Sunflower Oil

A

Olive oil and calcium (to bind to bile salts)

33
Q

Why is it important for calcium to bind bile salts to reduce diamine oxidase activity?

A

Because secondary bile salts increase DAO activity
Diamine oxidase is the rate-limiting enzyme in the pathway of polyamine synthesis. Polyamines are required for colonocyte proliferation. Diamine oxidase does not affect colonocyte apoptosis; increased diamine oxidase activity increases colonocyte numbers without a compensating increase in apoptotic rate. Increased diamine oxidase activity in the colon is associated with increased risk for colorectal cancer. Diamine oxidase activity is stimulated by meat and alcohol and is inhibited by olive oil and by calcium binding to bile salts.
