Q

what is the function of microsomal triglyceride transfer protein?

A

Important during the synthesis of Apo-B containing lipoproteins- it acts as a chaperone protein for the proper folding of ApoB and participates in the transfer of lipids to newly formed chylomicrons and VLDL

elevated serum levels of which substance contribute to insulin resistance?

Study These Flashcards
A

free fatty acids

25
paraneoplastic sydromes may cause what compliction in the brain?
paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration (autoimmune process)
26
patients with porcelain gallbladder have an increased risk of which cancer?
adenocarcinoma of the gallbladder
27
Fibrosing disease of the bile ducts, such as primary sclerosing cholangitis, or chronic liver fluke infection icnrease the risk of....
cholangiocarcinoma
28
patients with maple syrup urine disease should require supplementation of what?
thiamine - cofactor for branched-chain alpha ketoacid dehydrogenase
29
what breaks down ANP and BNP?
the metalloprotease 'neprilysin'
30
effects of ANP and BNP?
- vasodilation - increase GFR (dilate affarent, constrict efferent) - decrease aldosterone production
31
transketolase is part of which pathway?
the pentose-phosphate pathway
32
where does the pentose-phosphate pathway occur?
cytosol
33
where is HMG-Coa located?
mitochondria
34
how do corticosteroids effect Beta-2 receptors?
they stimulate the upregulation of them in bronchial smooth muscle
35
blood findings in a leukemoid reaction?
- leukocytosis - increased bands and early mature neutrophil precursors - increased serum leukocyte alkaline phosphatase - Dohle bodies
36
what are Dohle bodies?
Light blue peripheral granules in neutrophils - seen in a leukamoid reaction
37
are the cells produced in a leukamoid reaction immature?
no - they are mature cells
38
function of telomerase?
prevents chromosomal shortening
39
pathophys of fetal infection with parvovirus?
interruption of erythropoeisis leads to profound anemia and heart failure ->pleural effusions, pericardial effusions, and ascities. Death from fetal hydrops.
40
what type of virus is parvovirus?
naked single stranded DNA
41
is estrogen decreased in PCOS?
No - it is increased and may lead to endometrial hyperplasia (androgens also increased, moreso)
42
why are the ovaries enlarged in PCOS?
They are undergoing increased activity
43
what ist he target of rituximab?
CD20 on B cells - used for lymphomas
44
metabolism of succinylcholine?
hydralized by PLASMA pseudocholinesterase
45
how do patients with pseudocholinesterase deficiency present?
extended paralysis (anesthesia) with the administration of succinylcholine, due to a diminished ability to hydrolyze succinylcholine in the plasma
46
how does modafinil effect CYP450s?
INDUCER
47
how does cyclophosphamide effect CYP450s?
INDUCER
48
how does amiodarone effect CYP450s?
inhibitor
49
how are pro-carcinogens activated in the body?
they are metabolized by CYP450 monooxygenase (microsomal monooxygenases)
50
patients with myasthenia gravis are often resistant to which type of neuromuscular blocking agents?
depolarizing agents
51
patients with myasthenia gravis are often more sensitive to which type of neuromuscular blocking agents?
non-depolarizing agents
52
what is vecuronium?
Nondepolarizing competitive antagonist of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors
53
what diet increases your risk for gastric adenocarcinoma?
High salt diet | Processed meats
54
filtration fraction =
GFR/RPF
55
why does filtration fraction increase in severe hypovolemia?
Although both the GFR and RPF decrease, the constriction of the efferent arteriole presevers some of the GFR, thus the RPF is relatively more decreased. Since FF= GFR/RPF, FF increases.
56
why may someone with BPH have hematuria?
new friable blood vessels may form in the area of hyperplasia, leading to hematuria
