what thiamine is converted to; serves as cofactor for oxidative decarboxylation reactions for ENERGY PRODUCTION
Beriberi
B1 deficiency
Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome
B1 deficiency
which vitamins have toxicity/UL?
B3 (niacin), B6 (pyridoxine, pyridoxal, pyridoxine), vitamin E Folate and Vit C has UL but not toxicity
Pellagra
B3 (niacin/nicotinaminde) deficiency; diarrhea, dermatitis, dementia, death
isoniazid TB treatment
can cause B3 (niacin, nicotinamide) deficiency
avidin
protein found in egg whites that prevents the absorption of biotin and can lead to a biotin deficiency
genetic holocarboyxlase synthetase deficiency
ineffective use of biotin and can lead to biotin deficiency
megaloblastic anemia
anemia in which the RBCs don’t have the ability to divide because of shortage of nucleic acids; results from folate deficiency, because folate is necessary for the generation of nucleic acids
spina bifida
neural tube defects resulting from folate deficiency in early pregnancy
a-tocopherol
vitamin E
hephaestin
oxidizes exported Fe+2 to Fe+3, which can then be bound to transferrin
transferrin
binds Fe+3 in the blood
Hepcidin
stimulated by IL-6; serves to decrease Fe serum levels
incomplete proteins
plant proteins that are deficient in an essential amino acid corn beans
acceptable macronutrient distribution ranges
protein 10-35% fat 20-35% carbohydrate 46-65%
complete proteins
includes adequate levels of all esssential amino acids
how to determine N excretion
24h urinary urea nitrogen + 4g (feces, sweat etc)
positive nitrogen balance
indicates anabolic state , overall GAIN in body protein
negative nitrogen balance
indicates catabolic state, loss of body protein
nitrogen balance in pregnancy
positive
low quality protein diet
negative
sepsis
negative hyper catabolic state!
total daily energy expenditure
BMR + physical activity + energy used for digestion and storage of food
states that increase BMR
pregnancy fever hyperthyroidism
states that decrease BMR
aging (lose muscle) starvation hypothyroidism
thermic effect of feeding
work of digestion, approx 5-10% total energy expenditure
BMI
weight/height^2 (kg/m^2) the ratio of weight to height weight (lbs) x 703 / height in inches ^2
what are the categories for BMI
underweight, normal, overweight, obese
What is the goal of CCK?
to promote fat digestion and absorption
What substances stimulate HCl secretion?
Histamine
ACh
Gastrin
What substances inhibit HCl secretion
somatostatin
low pH
prostaglandins
zymogen granules
where pancreatic enzymes are stored until a stimulus tells them to be secreted
what might stimulate zymogen granules to secrete their contents
CCK or parasympathetic stimulation
recall: the goal of CCK is to promote fat digestion and absorption
Zollinger Ellison syndrome
gastrinoma, tumor secreting excess gastrin
gastrin stimulates HCl secretion by parietal cells in the stomach
therefore in this condition - see elevated HCl and elevated parietal cell mass
Tx: cimetidine and omeprazole, surgical resection
cimetidine
H2 receptor inhibitor
(therefore, end result is to decrease HCl secretion)
omeprazole
H/K ATPase inhibitor (therefore end result is to decrease HCl secretion)
extrinsic autonomic NS innervation of gut
Sympathetic = celiac, superior and inferior mesenteric, hypogastric
Parasympathetic = vagus and pelvic
postganglionic sympathetic of gut are…
adrenergic
post ganglionic parasympathetic of the gut are either…
cholinergic or peptinergic
vasovagal reflex
reflex in which both afferent and efferent limbs are contained in vagus nerve
What happens in the resection of gastric antrum
removal of G cells therefore H+ secretion, gastric mucosa atrophy
what kind of cells secrete pepsinogen
gastric chief cells
what happens to pepsin at a pH greater than 5
it is denatured and inactivated
is pepsin essential for protein digestion
no
pancreatic enzymes
pancreatic lipase
cholesterol ester hydrolase
phospholipase A2
post prandial hyperemia
increased splanchnic blood flow after a meal
vasoactive hormones
CCK
neurotensin
bradykinin
kallidin
what is the overall effect of the ENS in the reseting state
Overall inhibitory effect
what does chemical denervation do to ENS
blocks most ENS Na channels
this causes an increase in small bowel motor activity (Recall, at rest, ENS has an overall inhibitory fxn)
what stimulates short arc reflexes in the bowel and colon?
distention
what are the short arc reflexes in the bowel and colon?
segmentation and peristalsis (fxn to move chyme toward colon)
stimulated by distention
Entero-gastric reflex
- stimulated by = acid, hypertonicity, over-distention
- decreases stomach emptying
- increases duodenal activity DISTAL to stimulus
gastro-colic reflex
- filling of stomach increases distal motor activity; esp of colon
- infant diapers must be changed soon after feeding
entero-enteric reflexes
- increases motor activity distal to a distending or irritating stimulus WHILE decreasing proximal activity!
- clears offending stimulus from bowel
whats another name for long arc reflexes
vasovagal
general pattern of vasovagal activity
distention and or irritation inhibits proximal motor activity and stimulate distal motor activity
cecal frenulae
two “lips” that flank the entrance of the ileum into the colon
what does the material in the terminal ileum consist of
- fluids
- electrolytes
- nutrients
- mucus
- bacteria
- poorly digested/indigestible substances
- colon recovers most fluids, nutrients and electrolytes!!!
colonic motor activity
- segmentation
- mass peristalsis
what is the stimulus for defecation
increased intra-rectal pressures from incr vol (>18mmHg)
pelvo-pelvic nerve pathway via stimulation of adenosine sitmulating nerves!
IF intra-rectal pressure exceeds 55mmHg, defecation will occur no matter what
what are the two events involved in defecation
- stimulation of defecation reflex
- contraction of distal colon and relaxation of internal anal sphincter
- changing the ano-rectal angle
defecation reflex
contraction of distal colon
relaxation of internal anal sphincter
is the internal anal sphincter contracted or relaxed between voidings?
between voidings the internal anal sphincter is CONTRACTED
colonic and rectal visceral SMC has low tonus
myogenic activity stimulates internal anal sphincter circular muscle to contract
what do spinal lesions have to do with pooping
if the lesion is in the upper spinal cord, patient can still defecate because the reflex is integrated at the lower cord level
pelvopelvic reflex
required for defecation
stimulus is that there are stretch receptors in the distal colon that sense the stretch
what is the mechanism by which the anal-rectal angle becomes more obtuse?
cessaton of efferent motor input to skeletal muscles
note: neuromuscular problems prevent inhibition and may result in constipation
fecal incontinence
loss of pelvic floor tone, makes nagle more obtuse, fecal incontinence
can strengthen pelvic floor muscles using kegel exercises
what nerve is involved in the voluntary modulation of defecation reflex
pudendal n.
constipation
inappropriate decrease from NORMAL frequency of defecation
what are some causes of constipation
- starvation
- dehydration
- surgery
- antiypertensive agents *** common
- organic obstruction
- psychogenic
- autonomic neuropathy
- laxative abuse
whats a common cause of constipation
antihypertensive agent
