Renal Medulla: inside light.  gets 10% renal blood, uses 80% O2 "poor man"

 

Term
Kidney blood flow
Definition

1 blood enters Afferent arterioles, 20% filtered

2 blood enters efferent arterioles

3 blood deltas into capilaries to suply renal tubiles

4 blood gathers into veins to leave kidney

Term
Filtration
Definition

happens at renal corpuscle

1 blood enters efferent arterioles.  filtration rate depends on BP

2 capillary filtration

4 single cell layer epithelial cell filtration.  "podocytes"

 

filtrates: water, sugar, salt, urea, AA

Term
Reabsorption
Definition

at proximal tubules

Term
Porphyrines
Definition

cyclic, binds metals,

4 pyrole rings linked by methenyl bridges

differ by side chains attached to the 4 pyrole rings

each pyrole can bind 2 side chains.  (IV different arrangements)  only type III asymmetric on ring D is physiologically important

Term

Uroporphyrin

coproporphyrin

Definition

Uroporphyrin: acetate & propionate side chains.

 

coproporphyrin: methyl & propionate side chains

Term
porphyrinogens
Definition

exist as reduced form.  colorless

makes porphyrins

Term
making Heme
Definition

Liver & Bone marrow. step 1,

1 Glycine + Succinyl CoA (intermediate from TCA) by ALA Synthase makes ALA.  Pyridoxal phosphate coenzyme, rate limiting.

2 ALA + ALA by ALA dehydrase make porphobilinogen.

3 4 porphobilinogens condense to make urophyrinogen III

4 urophyrinogen III-> protoporphyrin IX-> Heme

5 Fe added (ferrochelatase speeds up)

Term

Agents that affect Heme Biosynthesis

Hemin

Babituates

Lead

 

Definition

Hemin: inhibits the formation of ALA.  (rate limiting step)  made when too much porphyrin, not enough globin.  Heman causes ↓ synthesis of ALA synthase enzyme

Barbiturates: like phenobarbital cause more Heme production

Lead: inhibits formation of Heme


Term

Porphyrias

Diagnosis

Symptoms

cure

Definition

Porphyrias:  enzyme disorder, buildup of intermediates.  most Dominant (erythripoietic porphyria recessive).  problem @ RBC or liver.

Diagnose: buildup of intermediates

Symptom: itch, light sensitivity because makes superoxide O2 radicals.

Cure: inject hemin

Term
Breaking Heme
Definition

Background info: Biliruben hydrophobic, conjugated biliruben hydrophylic, albunin alone harmful to CNS.

 

1 Make Biliruben:  NADPH + O2 break porphyrin ring.  makes Biliverdin.  reduced to Biliruben "Bile pigments".  

2 Uptake of Biliruben by liver: Biliruben insoluble in plasma, so albunin transporter.  Biliruben enters hepatocyte, binds to ligandin.

3 formation of Biliruben diglucuronide: Biliruben + (2)Glucuronic acid= very soluble.  

4 excretion of Biliruben as bile: Biliruben diglucuronide transfered to bile, (unconjugated Biliruben not excreted)

5 Formation of Urobillins in intestine: Biliruben diglucuronide hydrolyzed/reduced by gut bacteria to make Urobilinogen (colorless). some urobilinogen reabsorbed and transferred to kidney to make Urobillins.  Most urobilinogen changed into stercobilin feces excretion 

Term

Jaundice

Hemolytic Jaundice

Obstructive Jaundice

Hepatocellular Jaundice

Newborns

Definition

Hemolytic Jaundice: RBC lysis-> high biliruben, more than liver can handle, so unconjugate biliruben in blood.  also high conjugated biliruben released from liver, excreted.  dark yellow urine.

Obstructive Jaundice: plugged bile duct, biliruben cant get to intestine.  Feces.  also if backup enough, liver will release conjugated biliruben into blood.  urine. 

Hepatocelular Jaundice: liver damage.  release conjugated biliruben in blood. Urine.  later, liver less effective, unconjugated biliruben in blood

Newborns: premature. can't conjgate billiruben.  untreated=brain damage. 

Term
Take home message
Definition
  • jaundice is the symptom not the disease
  • conjugated is water soluble
  • unconjugate is not water soluble (if its in blood there is a big problem)
  • making ALA is rate limiting step
  • breaking hemoglobin goes from hemoglobin-> biliverdin-> Biliruben-> Urobilinogen->Urobillin/stercobillin
Term

Definition

<more>

glucagon/EP to counter insulin, breakdown of glycogen,

more glutamine->ATP by intestine,

synthesis and excretion of proteins by liver

less albunin by liver

adipose tissue->fatty acids

Term
finding kidney damage
Definition
Creatine & phosphocreatine -> creatinine.  muscle has most creatine.  high serum creatinine = kidney damage/dehydration
Term
why does cyclic stretch induce collagen and probably elastin stretch?
Definition
when smooth muscle cells stretched, less polyamine & NO made, (too much NO causes cell death).  so ARG is used instead to make Coligen (shapes cartilige, resists sheer stress), and elastin (recover from stretch)  
Term

How does Cholera toxin work?

How does Prozac work?

Definition

increases intestinal Seratonin-> activates enteric NS.
