Q

endogenous lipid cycle in fasting ?

A

liver produces VLDL, which is broken down by lipoprotein lipase into free fatty acids and glycerol so IDL. then free fatty acids stored into fat tissue and the IDL is back in liver to be disposed of or moved into LDL to peripheral tissues

Q

exogenous pathway?

A

from dietary lipids- chylomicron particle are absorbed and broken down by lipoprotein lipase into free fatty acids and glycerol which then stored in adipose tissue

A

stomach is empty, stimulates hunger neurons

41
Q

PYY?

A

released before nutrients arrive in lower small intestine and colon and then a bit more, decreases food intake by inhibiting gut motility

41
Q

PYY?

A

released before nutrients arrive in lower small intestine and colon and then a bit more, decreases food intake by inhibiting gut motility

42
Q

GLP1?

A

secreted by EEC- l cells and certain neurons in the nucleus of the solitary tract in the brainstem.

in response to food consumption

reduction in PYY, cholecystokinin, insulin leptin and amylin

ghrelin, GIP and pancreatic polypeptide increased?

46
Q

how does exercise affect food?

BMI over 40
between 35 and 39.9 with severe obesity related comorbidity
between 30 and 34.9 and poorly controlled diabetes

vs non parametric

55

take on empty stomach, sitting up 30 mins before food

61
Q

changes in elderly that will affect drug distribution?

A

decreased muscle mass
increased body fat
decreased serum albumin

62
Q

why does low muscle mass affect drug distribution?

A

less volume of distribution for drugs that distribute into muscles, therefore greater plasma concentration e.g digoxin

63
Q

digoxin toxicity?

A

bradycardia, junctional tachycardia, heart block, delirium confusion dizziness, anorexia, abdominal pain, green yellow vision double vision, photophobia

64
Q

why is increased body fat bad?

A

increased volume of distribution of fat soluble drugs, therefore increased t1/2

e.g diazepam

drowsiness, confusion, ataxia and dependency

66
Q

treatment reversa for benzodiazepine?

A

iv flumazenil 200mcg

67
Q

why is serum albumin important?

A

decreased albumin 12-25%- can reduce drug binding capacity and therefore more free drugi.e phenytoin/warfarin

albumin could be further depressed by heart failure, renal disease, RA, hepatic cirrhosis and some malignancies

68
Q

phenytoin toxicity?

A

CHANNT
coarse facies
hepatitis
ataxia
nystagmus
nausea vomiting
tremor

69
Q

what can cause bleeding?

asprin can replace, and a 1-2% displacement can double warfarin or triple concentration of free

73
Q

early toxicity lithium 1.5 mmol/L?

agitation, tremor, twitching

74
Q

late toxicity lithium> 2 mmol/l?

A

fits, arrhythmia, renal failure

75
Q

morphine undergoes?
