Study Notes
Lipids and Lipoproteins
- Free forms of fats form ester bonds with carbon or alcohol.
- Phospholipids contain a phosphate group, distinguishing them from triglycerides.
- Larger lipoproteins have a lesser protein fraction and are heavier in weight.
- Elevated chylomicron and/or VLDL levels correlate with increased triglyceride levels.
- Turbid serum indicates the presence of chylomicrons.
- Absence of apoprotein B100 leads to a lack of LDL.
- In hypercholesterolemia, HDL levels are typically low.
- High HDL levels are linked to a decreased risk of accelerated atherosclerosis.
- Apoprotein A1 is inversely associated with coronary heart disease risk.
- Familial hypercholesterolemia is characterized by an ApoB-100 receptor defect.
- VLDL carries the majority of endogenous triglycerides.
Protein and Health Indicators
- Total protein reference range is between 6.2-8.3 g/dL.
- Hyperproteinemia can occur from dehydration or liver disorders.
- Albumin is the most concentrated plasma protein and serves as an indicator of nutritional status.
- Acute-phase reactants include alpha-1-acid glycoprotein, reflecting inflammation.
- Haptoglobin binds with free hemoglobin, preventing kidney damage.
- Ceruloplasmin, a copper-containing protein, can predict premature birth risk.
- Protein electrophoresis typically uses a buffer at pH 8.6, with proteins traveling towards the anode.
Carbohydrates and Disorders
- Monosaccharides include galactose, fructose, and glucose; disaccharides include maltose and sucrose; starch is a polysaccharide.
- Fructose metabolism disorders manifest from enzyme deficiencies.
- Pheochromocytoma is an adrenal tumor causing excessive catecholamine production.
- Polyphagia denotes excessive hunger, while polyuria and polydipsia refer to increased urination and thirst, respectively.
Diabetes Mellitus Classification
- Type 1 DM is characterized as insulin-dependent and often affects thin individuals.
- Type II DM is commonly referred to as maturity-onset diabetes.
- Gestational DM occurs during pregnancy.
- Ketosis-prone is primarily associated with Type 1 DM.
Glucose Metabolism
- Normal glucose metabolism post-prandial is indicated by levels close to 100 mg/dL.
- CSF glucose levels in a healthy person typically approximate 60% of blood glucose levels.
