Study Notes
Hypertensive Urgencies
- Marked elevation in blood pressure without symptoms.
- Gradual lowering of blood pressure over 24 to 48 hours is suggested.
Mitochondrial Electron Transport and Oxidative Phosphorylation
- Electrons are transported between complexes in the mitochondrial membrane.
- Formation of ATP occurs via ADP and inorganic phosphate (Pi) association.
- Molecular oxygen is used to form water and hydrogen ions (H+) during electron transport.
- Cytochromes, vital for electron transport, have varying heme cofactors:
- b-type cytochromes contain protoporphyrin IX.
- c-type cytochromes are covalently linked to cysteine.
- a-type cytochromes include a long isoprenoid tail.
Acute Pancreatitis Identification
- Diagnosis involves:
- Ultrasound to check for gallstones.
- Serum tests for amylase and lipase levels.
- Lipid profile to assess hypertriglyceridemia.
- Complete blood count (CBC) for signs of necrotizing pancreatitis.
VLDL, LDL, and Hypertriglyceridemia Metabolism
- VLDL interacts with lipoprotein lipase (LPL) in adipose tissue, muscle, and mammary tissue.
- LPL breaks down VLDL triglycerides, releasing free fatty acids and glycerol.
- Half of VLDL remnants bind to liver receptors, leading to endocytosis.
- Remaining remnants are converted to intermediate-density lipoproteins (IDL) which are further metabolized to low-density lipoproteins (LDL) by hepatic lipase.
Causes of Elevated Serum Triglyceride Levels
- Can result from genetic lipoprotein metabolism disorders.
- Secondary causes include diabetes, obesity, alcohol abuse, and certain medications (e.g., β-blockers, oral estrogens, diuretics).
- Deficiencies in proteins such as LPL, apoC-II, or hepatic lipase may contribute to elevated triglyceride levels.
Acute vs. Chronic Diarrhea
- Acute diarrhea: lasts less than 4 weeks; causes include infections, food allergies, medications.
- Chronic diarrhea: lasts 4 weeks or more.
Laboratory Diagnosis of Lipid Issues
- Oil response to Sudan III dye indicates lipid presence; red staining signals triglycerides.
- Bile produced in the liver aids lipid emulsification and absorption in the intestines.
- Cholestasis involves biliary duct obstruction affecting bile flow to the duodenum.
