week 3 Flashcards
steatosis
fatty change within the liver
acute alcohol drinking - metabolism occurs down the
cytosol route .
chronic drinking metabloism
the cytosol metabolism floods and begins to use the other metabolism routes MEOS and peroxisomes
ROS promotes
transcription factors of pro inflammatory ctytokines
permeability of intestines
translocation of microbial moelcules
chronic degree o lo degrtee of toxicity ,
il8
potent attractor of neutrophils
2 mqin pathways of apoptosis
intrisic
extrinisic
INTRINSIC PATHWAY
• Initiated by Oxidative Stress • Leads to leakage of proapoptotic factors from mitochondria (ie cytochrome-c), regulated by Bcl-2 proteins • Pro-apoptotic factors from mitochondria activate Caspases leading to cell degradation
EXTRINSIC PATHWAY
• Initiated by TNF • Binding to TNF receptors leads to Caspase activation via FADD (Fas-associated death domain) and TRADD (TNF Receptor-associated death domain) proteins
malutrition exacerbates
ROS production and promote apoptosis
lateral grey horns or only present
in thoracic and upper lumbar segments of the spinal cord
c fibres
polymodal, respond to mechanical, thermal and chemical stimuli
three main classes of endogenous opioids
enkephalins,endorphins, dynorphins

muscles throughout the body Æ involves manipulation, mainly of vertebrae
osteopaths
is a system of diagnosis and treatment based on the theory that many diseases are associated with disorders of the MSK system Æ involves
