Q

How does the absorption of glucose, galactose and fructose occur in the small intestine?

A
  1. Uptake across the apical membrane into the epthelial cell
    1. Glucose, Galactose- Na/glucose transporter SLGT1
      • secondary active transport, glucose inlux occurs against glucose concentration gradient, Na+ gradient maintained by basolateral Na-K pump
    2. Fructose- GLUT5 transporter- facilated diffusion
  2. Exit across the basolaterla membrane
    • facilated sugar transporter GLUT2

Q

Why does individuals with primary lactase deficiency have increased breath H2

Q

How does pepsinogen get activated

Study These Flashcards
A

Low intragastric pH

25
What is pepsin
An endopeptidase with primary specificity for peptide linkages of aromatic and larger amino acids
26
What are the 5 pancreatic proenzymes
Trypsinogen Chymotrypsinogen Proelastase Procarboxylase A Procarboxylase B
27
How does the pancreatic proenzymes activate
Trypsinogen by enterokinase. The rest by trypsin
28
What are the 5 pancreatic enzymes
Trypsin Chymotrypin Elastase Carboxylase A Carboxylase B
29
What are the products of endopeptidase
oligosachharides with 2 to 6 amino acids
30
What are the products of exopeptidase
Amino acids
31
Which pancreatic enzymes are endopeptidase
Tryspin Chymotrypsin Elastase
32
Which pancreatic enzymes are exopeptidase
Carboxylase A Carboxylase B
33
For individuals with primary lactase deficiency, what does ingestion of lactose have on plasma glucose concentration?
Smaller rise in plasma glucose
34
What does brush border peptidase have an affinity towards?
relatively larger oligopeptides- 3-8AAs
35
What does cytoplasmic peptidase primarily hydrolyse?
di and tri peptides
36
What transporter is responsible for the uptake of luminal oligopeptides?
PEPT-1
37
What system is responsible for the uptake of cationic and cystine?
b0
38
What does b0 system involve?
an Na+ independent transporter for cationic amino acids and cystine. This transporter is an antiporter coupling the uptake to the efflux of neutral amino acids
39
What system is responsible for the uptake of neutral amino acids?
B0
40
What does B0 system involve?
an Na+ dependent transporter
41
What system is responsible for the transport of glycine and proline?
IMINO system
42
What does IMINO system involve?
Na+ dependent IMINO system and H+ dependent imino acid carrier for the transport of glycine and proline
43
What system is responsible for the transport of anionic amino acids?
EAAT3 (XAG)
44
Why is the transport system for anionic amino acids named XAG?
because it involves a Na+ dependent transporter for aspartate and glutamate
45
Which transporter is involved in the transport of cationic amino acids across the basolateral membrane?
heteromeric antiporter 4F2hc/y\*LAT1
46
Which transporter is involved in the efflux of neutral amino acids
4F2hc independent LAT transporters of the SLC43 family
47
Hartnup and cystinuria- inheritance
autosomal recessive
48
What transport is affected in Hartnup and cysteria?
Apical membrane amino acid trasnport
49
What are the clinical signs associated with Hartnup disease?
Most evident in children- Skin changes of pellagra, cerebellar ataxia and psychiatric abnormalities
50
Which systems are affected in Hartnup diesease?
System B- neutral amino acids uptake However, oligopeptides containing neutral amino acids are absorbed normally in Hartnup disease
51
What are the clinical signs assocaited with cystinuria?
kidney stones
52
Which systems are affected in Cystinuria?
b0+ and B0+ system Cysteine and basic amino acids import are affected
53
Why is there lack of evidence of protein deficiency in Hartnup and Cystinuria?
More than one transport system for different amino acids Seperate transporter for oligopeptides
54
What are the two routes responsible for the uptake of intact protein?
Enterocyte-phagocytosis M cells
55
What happens in Enterocyte phagocytosis?
A small amount of intact protein makes it to the interstitial space. The vast majority is degraded in lysosomes
56
Where are M cells located?
Payers patches. They have few microvilli and are specialised for protien uptake
57
What does M cells do?
They package ingested proten in Clathrin-coated vesicles, which they secrete at their basolateral membranes into the lamina propria There, the immunocompetent cells process the target antigen s and transfer them to lymphocytes to initiate an immune response
58
Give some examples of insoluble dietry fibre
Cellulose and hemicellulose
59
Give some examples of soluble fibre
Pectins, gums and mucilage
