Q

what happens in pregnancy OCP or increase estrogenism

A

increase production of Thyeoid binding globulin
so bound t4 increases

FREE T4 ALWAYS REMAINS SAME
= total t4 INCREASES

Q

what happens in SLE athletes steroids

A

leads to gluconeogenesis
TBG DECREASES
so bound t4 also DECREASES

overall total t4 = DECREASES

Q

def of propionyl coA carboxylase

A

proprionic acidemia

poor feeding, vomit, hypotonia, high anion gap

19
Q

prop coA carboxylase works on

A

propionyl coA ——–> methylmalonyl coA ——> succinyl coA

23
Q

RLE enzyme for FA synthesis

A

acetyl coA carboxylase

24
Q

RLE for gluconeogenesis

A

Fructose 1 6 bisphosphatase

25
Q

citrate affects other pathways like

A

inhibits the RLE of glycolysis —– PFK 1
induces F1,6 bisphosphate —- gluconeogensis
induces acetyl coA carboxylase —— FA Synthesis

26
Q

Affect of AMP on gluconeogensisn

A

inhibits the RLE becuase it REQUIRES ATP

F1,6 BP

27
Q

treatment of MCAD

A

NO fasting
small chain fatty acids can be given
IV glucose

28
Q

myopathic CAT

A

CAT 2
FA carnitine ——> Fatty acyl coA

biopsy shows increase in muscle triglycerides

29

INTERMEDITTE HOST sheeeep

37
Q

echinococcus mannifest

A

hydatid cyst
egg shell caclifications

BIOPSY CONTRAINDICATED — anaphylaxis

38
Q

causes of b12 def

A

dietary

malabsp —- pernicious , bacterial overgrowth or pancreatic isnuff

39
Q

schilling test part 1

A

oral radiolabelled B12 + intramuscular B12
increased levels of b12 ——- dietary def
low b12 levels ——- absp problem

40
Q

shcilling pt 2

A

radiolabelled b12 + intrinsic factor
b12 increases ——- pernicious anemia (means IF was missing)

b12 low —– means no dietary def and no pernicioujs

41
Q

schilling pt 3

A

radilabelled b12 + antibiotics
increased b12 —– bacterial overgrowth
low b12 — pancreatic insufff

42
Q

mechanism of metformin

A

glyc 3 p dehydrogenase —— inhibits gluconeogenesis
