How much more likely are diabetes patients to have an MI?
178
What causes an atherosclerosis?
fatty deposits - LDLs - accumulate on the inner lining of the arterial walls. LDLs pass into the tunica intima where they undergo "oxidization". These oxidized LDL's are toxic and increase inflammation. White blood cells called "monocytes" absorb the toxic oxidized LDL's and become foam cells. When these foam cells rupture or die, they release their lipid content, creating a "lipid core". Fibrous caps form over these in the healing process, creating more plaque. At first the plaque eats into the wall of the artery to about 40%, weaking the artery wall. But after that point, the plaque starts narrowing the lumen, leading to reduced blood flow.

fibrinogen causes damage to the blood vessel, promoting clotting and plaue formation. Increased levels also increase the viscosity of blood, which increases the workload of the heart and the risk of thrombosis
221
What are the 3 types of diabetes?
1. Type l 2. Type ll 3. Gestacional
222
In which diabetes test do you have to consume a concentrated glucose drink?
OGT - oral glucose tolerance test
223
True or False: there can be a genetic predisposition to have higher homocystein levels
true
224
Definition: Homocysteine
an amino acid byproduct created in the digestion of protein
225
What causes an increase in homocysteine?
1. a lack of the enzyme needed to convert homocysteine back into methionine or cysteine. 2. low levels of b-12 folic acid increases plasma homocysteine
226
Definition: Facilitated Diffusion
the glucose concentration in blood and cells is such that no ATP is required for energy
227
228
What hormone controls blood glucose?
insulin
229
Definition: Thrombosis
blood clot that is travelling through the vessel
230
How can exercise help when insulin is ineffective?
because insulin binds to the receptors on the target cells to open the glucose gates, when insulin is not working properly, exercise can naturally open those gates, allowing glucose to flow through for energy
231

True
237
How much more likely are diabetes patients to have an MI?
2 - 4x
238
What can a chronic increase in glucose damage?
diney filtration - leads to failure and needing dialysis
239
How would you desribe metabolic syndrome?
a cluster of biochemical and physiological abnormalities
240
Obese Resistance: FITT
Frequency: 2-3 days/week Intensity: muscles fatigued in 8 - 12reps - hypertrophy and endurance - 1-2 sets beginners Time: 45m - 60m - client dependant Type: machine weights - free weights - focus on large muscle groups
241
Definition: arterioles
small branch arteries that carry blood away from the heart
242
Diabetes: Cardio
F: 3 - 7 days/week I: Moderate - 50 - 80% - 12 - 16 RPE T: 20 - 60m T: Anything, unless neuropathy, then nonimact - swimming - cycling
243
