Study Notes
Electron Transport Chain Inhibition
- Inhibition can occur between complexes III and IV or between complex IV and mitochondria, impacting electron transport, ATP formation, or ADP/ATP translocation.
- Proton pumping is essential for creating a proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane, allowing ATP synthesis.
- A proton gradient develops due to mitochondrial membrane's impermeability to protons, driving proton flow through ATP synthase.
Role of Inhibitors
- Atractyloside inhibits ADP/ATP translocase, preventing ADP from entering mitochondria while stopping ATP export, leading to a failure in ATP production.
- Oligomycin directly inhibits ATP synthase, causing proton accumulation in the intermembrane space and cessation of electron transfer.
- Cyanide ion (CN−) is a potent inhibitor of complex IV, competing with oxygen for binding sites on cytochrome c oxidase.
Mechanism of Cyanide Poisoning
- Cyanide binding to cytochrome a/a3 prevents electron transfer to oxygen, disrupting cellular respiration.
- Treatment involves enhancing oxygen levels to outcompete cyanide binding and administering nitrite ion, which converts hemoglobin to methemoglobin to further compete with cyanide.
Steatorrhea
- Defined as increased fat excretion in stools, characterized by bulky, pale, foul-smelling, and oily stools.
- Can be asymptomatic in early stages; children may experience growth failure and delayed puberty due to fat malabsorption.
- Causes include primary biliary cholangitis, primary sclerosing cholangitis, ileal resection, or bacterial overgrowth.
Significance of Chylomicrons
- Chylomicrons transport dietary cholesterol and triglycerides from the intestine to the bloodstream via the lymphatic system.
- They are assembled in the intestinal mucosa, entering circulation at the left subclavian vein.
Diagnostic Tests for Steatorrhea
- Sudan III dye test identifies fat in stools; lipid presence stains red, indicating fat malabsorption.
- In cases of steatorrhea, oil separates and floats in the solution due to lower density, forming a visible layer above water.
Bile Production
- Bile, produced in the liver, is crucial for fat digestion and absorption, delivered through the biliary duct to the duodenum.
