Carbs Flashcards
Exam 1 (22 cards)
Hyperglycemic Factor produced by the pancreas is
Glucagon
The test that is used to assess the average plasma glucose level that an individual maintained during a previous three month.
Glycosylated or fast hemoglobin
The preferred screening test for diabetes in non-pregnant adults is measurement of
Fasting plasma glucose
Monitoring levels of Ketone bodies in the urine via nitroprusside Regents provides a semi quantitative measure of
Acetoacetate
Factors associated with type 1 diabetes mellitus
Viral infection, genetic, autoimmune reaction
Monitoring levels of Ketone bodies in the urine is
Recommended for patients with type 1 diabetes on sick days
Which of the Ketone bodies is in greatest proportion in blood
Beta hydroxybutyric acid
Non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus is most associated with overweight adult
True
An example of glucose specific colorimetric method
Glucose oxidase
What are the three Pathways glucose can go once it enters the cell
Hexose monophosphate shunt, embden meyerhof pathway, glycogenesis pathway
Which hormone promotes gluconeogenesis
Hydrocortisone
Glucose oxidase oxidizes glucose to gluconic acid and
H202
From glucose and ATP, hexokinase catalyzes the formation of
Glucose-6-phosphate
What is the preferred specimen for glucose analysis
Fluoride oxalate plasma
Hyperglycemic Factor produced by the pancreas is
Glucagon
Polarographic methods of glucose assay are based on Which principle
Rate of oxygen depletion measured
What enzyme is most specific for beta-d-glucose
Glucose oxidase
Which coupling enzyme is used in hexokinase method for glucose
Glucose dehydrogenase
What are the characteristics of von gierke disease
Hypo lipidemia
Factors that can affect glycohemoglobin levels
Red blood cell lifespan and average plasma glucose values
If a UA has a positive result for reducing sugars but a negative glucose on the dipstick
The patient has a deficiency in galactose 1 phosphate uridyl transferase
A increasing urine albumin
These levels of albumin in the urine suggest that kidney function is compromised and follow-up is necessary
