Loading flashcards...
1
What are direct stimulants to gastrin secretion?
Less Somatostatin release from D cells
Direct stimulation of G cells
2
What are vagal effects on gastrin release?
Gastrin releasing peptide stimulating G cells
Ach M3 receptor activation
3
What does ach M3 receptor do?
Inhibit the release of D cell product somatostatin
4
What does histamine stimulate?
H2 receptor in parietal cells to stimulate acid formation
5
What does gastrin bind to in order to activate ECL cells?
GG/CCK B receptor
6
What does gastrin bind to in order to activate parietal cells?
GG/CCK B receptor
7
What are the physiological actions of vagus nerve upon M3 receptors?
Direct ECL stimulation
Direct parietal cell stimulation
8
What affect does food have on pH/
Raises it and stimulates acid release through dietary peptides
9
What happens if a gastric antacid raises the pH of the stomach above 3.5-4?
Compensatory acid formation and the acid rebounds
10
What are four common antacids?
Sodium bicarbonate
Calcium bicarbonate
Aluminum hydroxide
Magnesium hydroxide
11
What may form from calcium bicarbonate?
Calcium phosphate kidney stones
12
What drug interactions are there with calcium bicarbonate?
Tetracyclines
Fluroquinolones
13
What occurs with immediate acid rebound?
Decreased somatostatin release
Decreased gastrin suppression
Increased gastrin release
14
What occurs in delayed chronic acid rebound?
ECL hyperplasia
Fundal polyp formation
Increased GERD
15
What are the pros of magnesium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide?
Very effective with no acid rebound since they do not raise the pH high enough to get it
16
What does aluminum and magnesium cause respectively?
Aluminum: Intestinal irritant (constipation)
Magnesium: Laxative
17
What are the common H2 receptor antagonists?
Cimetidine, ranitidine, famotidine
18
Cons of H2 receptor antagonists?
Inhibit metabolism of other drugs causing toxicity
19
Why are PPI's more commonly used than H2 receptor antagonists?
Because PPI's are more expensive than H2 receptor antagonists
20
What way are PPI's delivered?
Orally in an enteric coating and with delayed release since they are susceptible to acid and as a pro drug
21
How do PPI work?
By irreversibly binding to active proton pumps
22
What are the side effects of PPIs?
Fundal polyps (may or may not be cancerous), Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, increased gastrin which may act as a growth factor, C. difficile infections
B12 deficiency
Iron deficiency
23
What is Zollinger-Ellison syndrome?
Tumors growing in the pancreas or duodenum that release gastrin
24
What is an example of PPIs?
Omeprazole (all end in -prazole)
25
When do PPIs have their peak effect?
After a meal
26
What can NSAIDs cause?
Symptomatic GI ulceration
27
What can decrease NSAID ulcer forming capacity?
PPI
28
What is released by the stomach for protection?
PGI2 and COX-1
29
What is a prostaglandin type drug?
Misoprostol: methyl analog of PGE1
