25
What type of co transporter helps get PEPTIDES/AAs into the enterocyte (SOME of the time)? What is the other option?
Glucose co-transporters...other option is facilitated diffusion
26
What is the FIRST step in Lipid digestion? What is the main players here?
Emulsification...Major player BILE ACIDS and Lecithin
27
What do pancreatic lipase and coLipase break down triacylglycerides into?
a monoglyceride and 2 free fatty acids
28
What is the difference between a chylomicron and a micelle?
Chylomicron=triacylglycerols into lacteals(lymph)...vs....Micelle=monoglycerol and free fatty acids going into an enterocyte
29
Why do chylomicrons enter a lacteal instead of a blood vessel?
SIZE! capillaries are too small for the chylomicron.
30
Once the chylomicrons enter the lymphatic circulation, they are transported upward through the ________ and emptied into the venous circulation at the juncture of the _______ and _______ veins.
thoracic duct......jugular and subclavian veins
31
______ usually occurs within an hour after eating a fatty meal. _________ have a short half-life (< 60 min), so the plasma usually becomes clear within a few hours.
Lipidemia....Chylomicrons
32
Chylomicrons are removed from the blood as they pass through the capillaries of ________ and the ______. Both contain large quantities of __________.
adipose tissue and the liver...lipoprotein lipase
33
Where is lipoprotein lipase especially active?
The capillary endothelium
34
What are the 5 classes of lipoproteins? Which one is the ONLY type made in enterocytes?
1. Chylomicrons (ONLY one made in enterocytes) 2.VLDL 3.IDL 4.LDL 5.HDL
35
_____ are the most effective drugs currently in use for treating elevated LDL-C. What enzyme are they targeting?
Statins..HMG CoA REDUCTASE inhibitors!!
36
What is the #1 adverse side effect of Statins? What are the 3 subcategories? WHAT do you see/not see in the blood?
MyoPathy...1.Myalgia(muscle weakness WITH OUT Creatnine Kinase in the blood) 2.MyoSitis (elevated CK in the blood) 3.RAB-DOH (RhabdoMyoLYSIS)
37
What are the 4 things you find in the blood/urine to diagnose Rhabdomyolysis?
Creatnine Kinase....creatinine...dark urine and myoglobinuria
38
What is the % of Pt taking a Statin to report MyoPathy?
10%
39
Risk factors for _______ ______ include being elderly, small size, high statin dose, liver or renal disease, diabetes, uncontrolled hypothyroidism, and interacting medications.
statin myopathy
40
What is the drug aimed at increasing HDL? What does this drug REDUCE?
Niacin..Also reduces VLDL production
41
What are the 3 preparations of Niacin?
1.Immediate(crystalline) Release 2.Sustained Release 3.No-flush
42
What are the two other names for Niacin?
Nicitinic Acid, Vitamin B3
43
Niacin can cause a ___-___% increase in HDL-C
15-35% increase in HDL-C
44
What can you do to combat the harmless side effect of the warm flash of Nacin?
Its a PROSTAGLANDIN mediated effect, so you can block them with ASA or NSAIDs 30-45min before!
45
The _______ are among the oldest of the hypolipidemic drugs and sometimes considered the _____ since they are not absorbed from the intestine.
Bile Acid Binding Resins...safest
46
BOOM! What are the two resins available in Granular form?
Cole-Stid and Quest-Ran

BOOM! What are the two resins available that are tablets mixed with water?
Cole_Stid and Wel-Chol
48
What are the two methods of action for Bile Acid Resins?
1. Decreased emulsification of fat 2.No bile acid reabsorption (liver then uses cholesterol to make more bile!)
49
What do Bile Acid Resins do to LDL, HDL, and Triacylglyceride levels in the blood?
REDUCE LDL, no effect on HDL nor TAGs
50
What are the 9 adverse effects of Bile Acid Resins? How can you combat them?
1.Constipation 2.Bloating 3.Abdominal Distention 4.Pain 5.Flatulence 6.Nausea 7.Vomiting 8. Dyspepsia 9. Oily Anal Leakage...Combat with FIBER supplement
51
What are the 7 drugs and substances that Bile Acid Resins can bind to?
1.Fat Sol Vitamins 2.Folate 3.ThiAZides 4.TetraCyclines 5.Warfarin 6.Propanolol 7. Penicillin
52
All H20 absorption in the small intestine is ______ and secondary to ______ movement.
passive...solute
53
Most K+ is absorbed passively when luminal [K+] rises because of absorption of water (_________).
Solvent drag
54
Calcium absorption occurs in the ________ & _______ and is primary regulated by ________ (_____________)
duodenum & jejunum....vitamin D3 (1, 25 dihydroxycholecalciferol)
55
What does absorption of Calcium stimulate the production of in enterocytes?
CalBindIns (Calcium binding proteins)
56
How are fat soluble vitamins absorbed? What about water soluble?
Fat-soluble= like other lipids...Water sol=SIMPLE DIFFUSION
57
Which water soluble vitamin requires Intrinsic Factor (IF) for normal absorption? WHERE do these get absorbed?
B12(Cobalamin/CBL)..Absorbed in the ileum
58
What becomes deficient with atrophy of the gastric mucosa?
Vitamin B12
59
Where are the three places I can find Peristaltic Contractions?
1.Esophagus 2.Stomach 3.Small Intestine
60

3-5 hours
61
