Presence of Insulin and its Receptors
Once glucose enters the cell, it will undergo what pathway/s to be converted into pyruvate along with lactate and ATP?
EMP or glycolysis
Presence of Insulin and its Receptors
Pyruvate will enter what pathway to produce more ATP along with CO2 and H2O indicating that higher ATP is offered to the cells?
Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle
Absence of Insulin and its Receptors
If glucose cannot enter the cells, energy will be sourced from where through the process of gluconeogenesis?
Clue: 2 answers
Fats and Proteins
Absence of Insulin and its Receptors
What will also be produced along with glucose once energy is sourced from fats and proteins?
Clue: 2 answers
Ketone bodies and Urea
Absence of Insulin and its Receptors
Increased ketones will result to what?
Ketoacidosis
Any degree of glucose intolerance with an onset or first recognition during pregnancy caused by a deficiency of insulin, metabolic, and hormonal changes
Gestational DM
The screening test for gestational DM is performed between 24-28 weeks of pregnancy through what test?
Glucose Tolerance Test
TOF: Pregnant women who are diabetic are counted as cases of Gestational DM
False (it is only counted as GDM when the diabetes is brought about by the pregnancy)
How many Gestational DM cases may lead to DM? (in percent)
30-40%
Refers to when FBS concentrations are between normal and diabetic values (quantitated at 100-125 mg/dL)
Impaired Fasting Glucose
What is the normal glucose level range when anything above 100 mg/dL is considered diabetic?
70-100 mg/dL
Refers to when blood glucose concentrations are less than those required for diagnosis of DM (the Oral Glucose Tolerance Test results are between normal and diabetic values)
Impaired Glucose Tolerance
Glucose Measurement
What is the best specimen choice for glucose measurement?
Serum
Glucose Measurement
Whole blood results are how many percent lower (compared to serum) since cells use glucose as a source of energy?
11%
Glucose Measurement
CSF glucose is approximately how many percent of plasma concentrations?
60%
Glucose Measurement
The liquid portion of blood must be separated within how many hours and put in a gray tube containing fluoride?
1 hour
Glucose Measurement
A gray top tube is aka as what? (it prevents a false-decrease in glucose since cells use it as a source of energy in cases of high WBC count)
Antiglycolytic agent
Glucose Measurement
Fasting should be done for how many hours not succeeding how long?
Note: Provide 2 answers in hours
Standard: 8-10 hours
Not more than: 16 hours
Also recommended to last for 6-8 hours
Glucose Measurement
Glucose decreases by how many percent per hour at room temperature (20-25ºC) in uncentrifuged blood?
5-7%
Glucose Measurement
Glucose is metabolized at refrigerated temperatures (4ºC) at about how many mg/dL per hour?
1-2 mg/dL
Glucose Measurement
What cells metabolize glucose in clotted and uncentrifuged blood resulting in false decreased values?
Clue: 2 answers
RBCs and WBCs
Oxidation-Reduction Methods
Principle: Cupric ions are converted to cuprous ions in an alkaline solution through the action of glucose
Alkaline Copper Reduction
Oxidation-Reduction Methods
In Alkaline Copper Reduction, what is the basis of the color change?
Amount of glucose
Oxidation-Reduction Methods
This type of Alkaline Copper Reduction Test is a modification of the Folin-Wu method which uses citrate and tartrate with a stabilizing agent
Benedict’s
