Maltose   glucose + glucose  
🗑
Lactose   glucose + galactose  
🗑
Sucrose   glucose + fructose  
🗑
Polysaccharide   linkage of multiple monosacs  
🗑
examples of polysacs   starch and glycogen  
🗑
Oligosaccharide   any carb that yields only a few monosac molecules upon hydrolysis  
🗑
glycogenesis   glucose to glycogen  
🗑
glycogenolysis   breakdown of glycogen to glucose  
🗑
gluconeogenesis   formation of glucose-6-phosphate from a non-carbohydrate source  
🗑
glycolysis   the conversion of glucose to pyruvate or lactate for production of energy  
🗑
Which glucose structure is predominant in the body?   D-glucose  
🗑
Name the 3 enzymes needed in Carb metabolism.   salivary amylase, pancreatic amylase, and disaccharidase  
🗑
What three carbs are absorbed during carb metabolism?   glucose, fructose, and galactose  
🗑
What are the 3 metabolic pathways?   glycogen metabolism, fatty acid synthesis, and energy production  
🗑
1 gram of carb supplies how many calories? Total body?   4 1,480  
🗑
What occurs during the fed state?   excess glucose converted to glycogen and stored in the liver, if more glucose is present than can be stored lipogenesis occurs  
🗑
What occurs during the fasting state?   Glucose is immediately utilized and glycogen storage is utilized  
🗑
What are the five regulatory hormones for glucose?   insulin, GH, glucagon, epinephrine, and thyroxine (T4)  
🗑
What specimen do glucometers require?   whole blood  
🗑
Diabetes Mellitus   do not have enough insulin to maintain levels of blood glucose  
🗑
IDDM   insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, type 1=Pancreatic insufficiency  
🗑
NIDDM   non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, type 2-overweight, "mature onset"  
🗑
GDM   Gestational Diabetes Mellitus-occurs in 1-5% of pregnant women  
🗑
4 steps in GDM screen   1. perform between 24-28 weeks 2. 50 g oral glucose land 3. measure bld glu at 1 hr 4. if glu>140 mg/dl, then perform GTT  
🗑
2 consequences of GDM for the fetus   hypoglycemia or death  
🗑
3 steps in GTT   fasting glu is drawn, 75g of glu given orally, blood is collected 2 hours post (except when pregnant)  
🗑
causes of hypoglycemia   medications, predisposing illness, and hospitalized patient  
🗑
What is prealbumin?   plasma protein that binds thyroxine and T3  
🗑
What is albumin?   transport protein that stores a wide variety of ligands  
🗑
hyperalbuminemia   dehydration  
🗑
hypoalbuminemia causes   impaired synthesis, increased catabolism, increased loss in urine or feces, reduced absorption of amino acids in intestines.  
🗑
albumin determination   bromcresol green (most common) and purple  
🗑
Alpha1-antitrypsin function   neutralize lysosomal elastase released by neutrophils, anti-protease activity  
🗑
decrease in Alpha1-antitrypsin   seen in lung diseases (neonatal respiratory distress)  
🗑
increase in Alpha1-antitrypsin   more common, an acute phase reactant  
🗑
alpha1 lipoproteins (HDL)   transport of cholesterol and fat soluble vitamins, significant in hyperlipidemia  
🗑
alpha1 lipoprotein method of determination   precipitation of LD and VLDL with salts and then re-run sample for cholesterol results  
🗑
Haptoglobin (alpha 2 region)function   binds free Hb in serum  
🗑
Haptoglobin clinical significance   used to detect and monitor acute phase reactions, hemolytic states will have an increase of haptoglobin  
🗑
Determination of Haptoglobin   immunochemical assays  
🗑
Alpha2-macroglobulin   probable vital in inflammation, increased in nephritic syndrome  
🗑
Ceruloplasmin (in alpha 2 region) function   principal copper-containing protein of plasma  
🗑
Clinical significance of ceruloplasmin   decreased in Wilson's disease (increased free serum copper), malnutrition  
🗑
alpha2 lipoproteins (VLDL)function   transports hepatic synthesized trigylcerides and cholesterol  
🗑
VLDL clinical significance   pancreatitis, increased risk of coronary heart disease  
🗑
calculating VLDL   trig/50  
🗑
transferrin (Beta region)   transportation of iron in the blood, useful in diagnosis of anemia: increased in IDA, N-dec in failure to incorporate iron in RBC  
🗑
Beta lipoprotein (LDL) function   transportation of cholesterol, phospholipids and hormones  
🗑
LDL clinical significance   increased in nephrosis and hyperlipidemia  
🗑
LDL calculation   Total cholestrol- (VLDL + HDL)  
🗑
Characterisitcs of total protein   contain 16% Nitrogen, all proteins react the same way chemically  
🗑
Protein cellular functions   catalyze biochemical reactions, regulate metabolism, maintain oncotic pressure, transport, carry oxygen, affect hemostasis of the vasculature system  
🗑
3 globular proteins   Hb, enzymes, albumin  
🗑
3 fibrous protein   collagen, elastin, keratin  
🗑
3 conjugated proteins   lipoproteins, glycoproteins, mucoprotein, and metalloproteins  
🗑
3 major ingredients in electrophoresis   support media, buffer, and power source  
🗑
decrease buffer affects electrophoresis how?   increases movement of protein due to increase in ionic strength  
🗑
increase buffer affects electrophoresis how?   decreases movements because proteins become charged  
🗑
increase voltage and time affects electrophoresis how?   increase migration of proteins, risk of running proteins off the gel (or denaturing them if voltage is too high)
