Study Notes
Enzymes and Chronic Alcohol Consumption
- Chronic alcohol consumption induces the enzyme MEOS (Microsomal Ethanol Oxidizing System)
Respiratory Acidosis
- Excess Carbon dioxide (CO2) is found in non-compensated conditions
Atherosclerosis
- Foam cells in an atherosclerotic plaque are formed by macrophages
Metabolic Disorders
- Hypoketotic hypoglycemia is a characteristic of fatty acid oxidation disorders
Thyroid Hormones
- Most thyroid hormones in the blood are bound to proteins (99.97% of T4 and 99.7% of T3)
- Reverse T3 (rT3) is not a thyroid hormone
- Thyroid-stimulating hormones increase cellular processes such as glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, and fatty acid oxidation
- Hashimoto's disease is a chronic autoimmune thyroiditis characterized by hypothyroidism, goiter, and autoantibodies against thyroid peroxidase and thyroglobulin
- In Graves' disease, thyroid function tests show elevated T4 and T3, and low TSH levels
Aldosterone and Renal Function
- Aldosterone increases renal reabsorption of sodium (Nat), leading to increased extracellular fluid and blood volume
- Aldosterone stimulates the kidney to secrete potassium in exchange for sodium reabsorption
Jaundice
- Bilirubin is found in obstructive jaundice
