What Happens to the Fat After Its Absorption?

After the fat is absorbed, the chylomicrons enter the liver and tissues, where they are utilized. Fat circulates in the blood and enters the liver and cells.

  1. Fate of fat in circulation
  2. Fate of fat in the tissues
  3. Fate of fat in the liver
    1. Phase I metabolism of fat
    2. Phase II metabolism of fat.
    3. Phase III metabolism of fat.
  4. Role of the liver during carbohydrate deficiency
  5. β-oxidation of fatty acids.

Fate of fat in circulation

Lipoprotein lipase acts on the circulating chylomicrons, VLDL, and triglycerides to make free fatty acids and glycerol. This lipolysis reaction remarkably increases adipose cells’ free fatty acid and glycerol content.

Feeding increases Lipoprotein lipase activity. Therefore, more free fatty acids and glycerol enter the fat cells after feeding.

Fasting and stress decrease Lipoprotein lipase activity, so little free fatty acids and glycerol are available for the fat cells.

Fate of fat in the tissues

Hormone-sensitive lipase catalyzes stored triglycerides into free fatty acids and glycerol. As its name suggests, it is hormone-dependent.

Growth hormone, glucagon, cortisol, epinephrine, and norepinephrine increase activity.

Insulin, prostaglandin E, and feeding decrease its activity.

In this way, we observe that feeding favors fat accumulation in the adipose cells.

Fate of fat in the liver

As chylomicrons enter the liver, ‘liver lipase’ breaks it into free fatty acids and glycerol. This is a very quick reaction.

Phase I metabolism of fat

Triglycerides————–free fatty acids + glycerol.

The glycerol is utilized in the carbohydrate pathway. Glycerol in the carbohydrate metabolism may combine to form fats.

Phase II metabolism of fat.

The fatty acids are oxidized to ‘acetyl-co A’ by β-oxidation of fatty acids.

Phase III metabolism of fat.

‘Acetyl-CoA’ is usually wholly oxidized to form CO2, H2O, and energy.

‘Acetyl-CoA’ may form pyruvic acid and may form carbohydrates.

Excess ‘Acetyl-CoA’ recombines to form ketones.

Role of the liver during carbohydrate deficiency

When carbohydrate concentration decreases, the liver can increase fat metabolism to produce more acetyl-CoA and aceto-acetic acid for energy.

When carbohydrate concentration increases, the liver converts it into fats and stores it.

β-oxidation of fatty acids.

When chylomicrons enter the liver, ‘liver lipase’ breaks them quickly into free fatty acids and glycerol.

Triglycerides————–>free fatty acids + glycerol.

Fatty acids are long-chain, mainly with 16 to 18 carbon atoms, like palmitic acid, stearic acid, and oleic acid.

In the liver mitochondria, these long-chain fatty acids are broken into two carbon molecules: acetyl-CoA. A chain of 16 carbon atoms produces eight acetyl-CoA.

This is an oxidative reaction in which two carbon acetyl-CoA are serially split off from the long-chain fatty acids.

An 18-carbon fatty chain acid will form 9 acetyl-CoA.

Acetyl-CoA is an active acetate which may be used in three ways:

1. to produce energy.

2. to form ketone bodies

3. to form glucose.

4. to form fatty acids.

5. may cause acetylation reaction.

    2. 2. Role of individual:
    3. 3. Medical advice

Definition:

You feel loneliness when you experience mental and or emotional discomfort from being alone or feeling as though you are alone.

American Psychological Association defines loneliness as affective and cognitive discomfort from being or perceiving oneself alone or otherwise solitary.’

Anyone can feel lonely at some point in their life. Loneliness is a complex emotion that affects anyone regardless of age and sex. It is common in both sexes. It is different from being alone.

Loneliness and ‘being alone’ are different.

Being alone is a physical condition. You do not surround yourself with family, friends, or relatives. You are living alone in another city. But you can communicate with your family, friends, and co-workers.

However, loneliness is a feeling; it is not materialistic. You may feel lonely even when your family and friends surround you. The reverse is also true. When you are alone, you may not feel lonely—you will feel happy. You connect with your family, friends, and co-workers through good communication or activities.

Loneliness may be short-term loneliness or chronic loneliness. Loneliness can be intense and painful.

Vulnerable groups are:

Elderly persons.

Young adults

Single mother

Financial insecure person.

Causes of Loneliness:

There are various causes of loneliness. Some critical factors are:

  1. Major life changes include retirement, a change in job, a relationship break-up, a change of school, or starting college.
  2. Death of a family member or close friend.
  3. Major loss in business.
  4. Financial dependency and insecurity.
  5. Social isolation.
  6. Physical limitation for activities and social activities.
  7. Prolonged illness and disability.
  8. Introvert
  9. Mental diseases like depression, excessive stress, and strain. Poor self-esteem plays a vital role in the development of loneliness.

Family history may be present, and hereditary factors play a vital role in developing loneliness.

Prevention of loneliness:

1. Role of society:

Provide financial support, free medical treatment, and social security. Family, friends, and co-workers must also support high-risk individuals.

2. Role of individual:

It would help if you shared your feelings with your family and co-workers.

Regular exercise, meditation, reading, and yoga are helpful.

Engage in family work, social work, and hobbies to keep yourself busy. Manage your needs and expenditures.

3. Medical advice

Take the advice of medical professionals and social workers. Many therapies are present, and many are evolving daily. Some frequently used medical therapies are Cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and talk therapy.

Introduction

Respiratory arrest is a critical condition when there is complete cessation of breathing or respiration. Respiratory arrest is a life-threatening condition that requires immediate treatment to save a life.

Here’s a detailed description of respiratory arrest, including its causes, symptoms, signs, and treatment.

Definition

When the lungs fail to function, resulting in the stoppage of gaseous exchanges-especially exchanges of oxygen and carbon dioxide. When gaseous exchanges stop, they produce multiple disastrous effects on the body, leading to the failure of vital organs, for example, the heart, brain, and kidneys, in seconds. Cessation of gaseous exchange in the lungs for more than 5 minutes will cause permanent brain damage, and cardiac arrest will follow, leading to death.

There are multiple causes for this respiratory arrest, such as obstruction of the respiratory passage, severe infection, and drugs.

Causes

1. Obstruction of the respiratory passage can stop breathing. The obstruction could be from blood, vomitus, mucus, saliva, a foreign body, or accidental entry of food or water in the respiratory passage.

Spasms of the vocal cord and edema of the epithelial lining of the vocal cord will prevent air entry into the air passage.

2. Trauma:

Injuries to the neck, chest, or spinal cord can damage the structures essential for respiration, such as muscles and nerves.

3. Respiratory diseases:

Obstructive pulmonary disease, severe pneumonia, or asthma can cause respiratory arrest during severe exacerbation.

4. Drug overdose

Certain drugs like opioids, benzodiazepines, and barbiturates can depress the respiratory centers, leading to respiratory arrest.

5. Central nervous system:

Conditions involving respiratory centers in the brain, like stroke or tumors, may cause respiratory arrest.

5. When compressed in a crowd.

6. Some diseases are myasthenia gravis and botulism.

6. During operations.

Symptoms

Just before complete respiratory arrest, the patient may be agitated, confused, and struggling to breathe. Symptoms develop very rapidly, and the patient will faint and become unconscious within no time.

Signs

1. Gasping or no breathing. No respiratory movements.

2. Cyanosis-

Cyanosis is a bluish discoloration of the skin and mucosa due to excess (> 5gm%/dl) reduced hemoglobin in the blood. Cyanosis will become apparent in the skin in a few seconds.

3. Unconcious and unresponsive: The patient will not respond to stimuli.

4. Heartbeats and pulse are present, but the patient is not breathing. It is a respiratory arrest. However, after 5 minutes, the heart will also stop.

Diagnosis :

The diagnosis is clinical. The absence of breathing and breathing movements of the chest and abdomen and the patient’s unresponsiveness recognize it. The lack of breathing is identified by putting your palm near the patient’s nostrils. Anybody can also acknowledge carefully observing the chest and abdomen for breathing movements.

The absence of breathing is recognized by putting your palm near the patient’s nostrils.

Careful observation of the chest and abdomen for breathing movements can recognize them.

Management

The treatment for respiratory arrest must be prompt and involve multiple medical science disciplines.

  1. Clear the airway
  2. Position the patient in the prone position.
  3. CPR
  4. Ventilation
  5. Medication
  6. Refer

Prevention

1. Proper management of chronic lung disease.

2. Taking precautionary steps to avoid injury.

3. Avoid injudicious use of drugs.

4. Monitor high-risk patients closely.

Prognosis

The outcome of a respiratory arrest depends on the underlying cause and timelines of the response.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, respiratory arrest is a severe emergency that requires rapid treatment to prevent brain damage and death. This article has conferred a complete understanding of the condition, including its causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and management. By applying this knowledge, medical care providers and learners can be crucial in saving lives.

Healthy Kidney |Know the Health of Your Kidney

Specific parameters can help you judge whether your kidney is working correctly or not. You can also take proper action to maintain Kidney health.

Keywords: Monitor urine volume|Manage blood pressure|Stay hydrated |Healthy lifestyle|

Table of contents:

  1. Introduction:
  2. Some functions are
  3. Some tips are
  4. Takeaway

Introduction:

This article is part of my mission to provide trustworthy recent health information to support the general public, patients, and professionals globally.

This article is for everyone globally, especially medical care providers and curious people. Here, you will find human Physiology and health-related topics.

This activity aims for learners to better apply the latest scientific knowledge.

Upon completing the article, you will have increased knowledge regarding the subject and use it with great confidence.

You have two kidneys. The kidneys are vital organs like the heart, lungs, and central nervous system. They perform many essential functions for life and maintain good health. Nephrons are the functional unit of the kidney. More than one million nephrons are present in each kidney

Some functions are

1. Filtering metabolic waste products from the blood and removing it through urine.

2. Maintaining electrolyte balance.

3. Maintaining fluid balance.

4. Synthysize many hormones.

5. Maintain blood pressure.

6.Activate vitamin D.

7. Release erythropoietin to stimulate red blood cell formation.

Healthy kidneys will perform proper functions. Early detection and solving of potential issues will maintain kidney health. Kidneys send simple signals when their health starts to deteriorate. But you usually ignore the simple indications until the kidney becomes very ill.

Every year, on the second Thursday in March, World Kidney Day is celebrated to promote awareness and educate people about their wonderful kidneys. One in ten people worldwide suffers from some renal issue.

‘is celebrated One in ten people worldwide suffers from some renal issue.

Kidney diseases have an insidious onset and only become apparent when the disease becomes severe. Therefore, you might only realize your kidney needs to be fixed if you are vigilant.

Prevention is better than cure. Here are some tips to help you understand and recognize the signs of kidney health. It will guide you in maintaining your kidney health. You can prevent further deterioration of kidney health and even restore its health.

Some tips are

1. Monitor urine volume: Watch your daily urine output and become alert when it increases or decreases significantly. In both cases, there may be significant kidney problems. The average urine output is 1500 ml daily, depending on myriad factors. Keep a record of fluid intake and urine output.

2. Notice the color of your urine: Normal urine is pale yellow and clear. A color change indicates issues, and you should consult a doctor.

Dark color urine may indicate excess bilirubin in the urine

High-colored urine may indicate dehydration.

Red color urine is seen in hematuria -blood in the urine.

3. Watch haziness in your urine:

Normal urine is clear and transparent. Any haziness indicates a urinary tract infection.

4. Observe the frequency of micturition: Frequent urination may be due to urinary tract infections, metabolic diseases like diabetes mellitus, or renal stones.

5. Regularly check your blood pressure: Renal diseases are the second most common cause of high blood pressure. Some renal causes of hypertension, such as renal artery coarctation, can be cured by surgical means.

6. Keep track of your body weight: In abnormal renal functions, water retention may occur, leading to weight gain. Swelling may also occur in the dependent parts of the body, e.g., the lower limb. Check your blood sugar regularly.

7. Routine urine examinations are mandatory to detect sugar, proteins, cells, casts, sedimentation, and pH values.

8. Regular medical checkups are essential when anything appears abnormal.

Takeaway

A balanced diet, regular aerobic and anaerobic exercises, and a healthy lifestyle will protect your kidneys. Avoiding smoking and drinking will improve their health.

Monitoring kidney health is crucial for good health. Monitor the volume and color of urine, sediments, cells, and casts closely to detect renal diseases in an early stage, when they are curable.

Take the advice of a medical professional for further guidance.

Happy kidney.

Introduction

Bilirubin is an orange-yellow pigment present in the blood. It is a degraded product of the hemoglobin of red blood cells. Bilirubin occurs in the normal catabolic pathway of red blood cells. The average total bilirubin level is 1.2 mg/dL of blood.

Jaundice will appear when the total bilirubin level becomes 2 mg/dL of blood and more.

There are two types of Bilirubin present in the blood. One is conjugated Bilirubin, and another is unconjugated.

Bilirubin is formed by the destruction of RBCs, mainly and usually by the destruction of senile red blood cells, but in pathological conditions, it may also be due to the destruction of normal and abnormal red blood cells.

Little Bilirubin is formed in the bone marrow during normal erythropoiesis.

After formation, Bilirubin enters the blood and liver, where a sugar molecule, glucuronic acid, is added by a process involving many enzymes called Glucuronidation. Now, this Bilirubin is water-soluble and known as conjugated Bilirubin.

Some amount of Bilirubin fails to conjugate and remains attached to albumin. This fraction of Bilirubin is water-insoluble and called unconjugated Bilirubin or indirect Bilirubin.

The conjugated Bilirubin is water soluble and reacts directly in aqueous solution (Direct Bilirubin).

Unconjugated Bilirubin or free Bilirubin is water-insoluble. The addition of dimethylsulphoxide makes it water-soluble and reacts (Total Bilirubin).

The unconjugated Bilirubin is determined by subtracting direct Bilirubin from total Bilirubin.

[Total bilirubin-direct bilirubin= Indirect bilirubin.]

Among the various methods for determining serum bilirubin, the Diazo Reaction stands out as the ‘Gold standard’. Its reliability and accuracy make it a cornerstone in bilirubin estimation.

Principle of estimation:

Bilirubin estimation depends on its conversion to a pink pigment known as ‘Azobilirubin’ by ‘diazotized sulfanilic acid’ and is measured photometrically using a Colorimeter. The intensity of the color developed is proportional to the bilirubin concentration in the sample.

In 1918, van den Bergh described this method for determining the bilirubin level in blood. After that, many modifications and improvements were made.

The main object is that Bilirubin reacts with diazo reagents to form pigmented Azopigments -azodipyrroles. This reaction is accelerated by the addition of some substances.

Azo pigments are measured by spectrophotometry at 530 to neutral or acid pH and 598 nm to alkaline pH.

The diazo reaction is accelerated by alcohol (methyl alcohol) and myriad compounds, such as sodium benzoate, methanol, etc. These compounds are known as accelerators. In the presence of accelerators, total Bilirubin is estimated, whereas conjugated Bilirubin is determined in the absence of accelerators.

Apparatus and reagents:

Quality control

1. Control sera are recommended to monitor the result.

2. Check the instruments, reagents calibrator, and human resources.

3. Each laboratory should have its quality control scheme and reference range.

4. There may be variations in the results of bilirubin estimation.

Precautions:

1. Serum or plasma is taken, protected from direct sunlight, and measured immediately. However, Bilirubin is stable at 2-8 degrees Celsius for four days and at—20 degrees Celsius for two months.

2. Blood sample is collected with proper antiseptic and aseptic procedures and kept properly.

2. Avoid contact with reagents.

3. Check the reagents -expiry date. Do not use expired or altered reagents.

Other methods to determine Bilirubin in blood:

1. Vandate oxidase method

2. Chromatographic methods

3. Electrophoresis methods

4. Electrochemical methods

Coronary Circulation |Human Physiology | Myocardial Ischemia| Infarction

Introduction:

Blood circulation in the arteries and veins that supply the heart is known as ‘coronary circulation.’ The heart contains and supplies blood but cannot use it directly.

Table of contents:

  1. Introduction:
  2. The coronary arteries:
  3. Normal anastomosis:
  4.  Functional anastomosis
  5. Coronary Sinuses:
  6. The great cardiac vein 
  7. Chemical factors:
  8. Neural control

The heart is unique in nature, and it can not rest. Its primary function is to pump blood. The heart has three layers- epiderium, myocardium, and endocardium. The myocardium remains between the two layers and performs the primary function of pumping blood. 

Blood comes through arteries to the heart muscle and its layers and leaves through veins. 

As we have seen, it is a very active organ that needs a sufficient supply of oxygen and nutrients and the rapid removal of metabolic waste.

Human Physiology -coronary circulation

Arterial blood supply:

The coronary arteries:

Two coronary arteries supply the heart. The blood supply of the heart is by two coronary arteries; they are 

1. Right coronary artery and 

2. Left coronary artery.

Functional anastomoses:

1. Cardiac anastomoses

2.Extracardiac anastomoses

Venous drainage :

1. Superficial veins

1. Right atrium

2. Deep veins

 We will now discuss the right and left coronary arteries, which arise from the aorta’s root to supply blood to the heart.

Right coronary artery

The right coronary artery is posteriorly in the right Atrioventricular sulcus and gives an acute marginal branch. Before anastomosis with the left coronary artery, it provides many descending branches. The right coronary artery mainly supplies the following parts or portions of the heart. 

The right coronary artery supply:

2. Major part of the right ventricle and interventricular conducting system of the heart.

3. Posterior part of the interventricular septum and an adjacent small portion of the left ventricle. 

4. Sinoatrial (Pacemaker of the heart) and Atrioventricular nodes.

Left coronary artery

The left coronary artery is present anteriorly in the left atrioventricular sulcus. It supplies only 20% of the heart. 

It is divided into: 

1. Anterior descending branch, which is present in the interventricular groove. Therefore, it is also known as the ‘anterior interventricular branch’ and has many septal branches.

2. The left circumflex artery continues in the A-V groove and proceeds downwards as posterior descending branches. It anastomoses with the right coronary artery.

The areas supplied by the left coronary artery:

1. Left atrium

2. Major part of the left ventricle and left branch of the “bundle of His.”

3. Anterior part of the interventricular septum and adjacent small portion of the left ventricle.  

The coronary arteries are end arteries.

Anastomosis

Normal anastomosis:

In normal conditions, numerous anastomoses occur between the branches of coronary arteries, and some remain dormant.

 Functional anastomosis

Functional anastomosis: in ischaemic conditions, functional anastomosis of two types becomes apparent-

  1. Cardiac anastomosis between branches of coronary arteries.
  2. Extracardiac anastomoses between :

                                                        i.            Vasa-Basora of the aorta and pulmonary arteries.

                                                      ii.            Intrathoracic, bronchial, and phrenic arteries.

 Deoxygenated blood goes into veins. 

 Venous draining 

1. Veins present beneath the epicardium 

Coronary Sinuses:

Mainly drains the myocardium supplied by the left coronary artery. It drains in the posterior wall of the right atrium.

The great cardiac vein 

The great cardiac vein drains the left ventricle’s myocardium and the coronary sinus.

The anterior cardiac vein drains the myocardium supplied by the right coronary artery. It is located in the anterior wall of the right atrium.

2. Veins are present in the deep myocardium

Veins present in the deep myocardium directly open in the cardiac chambers.

Arterio sinusoidal, arterio luminal, and Thebesian vessels into the left heart. Therefore, pO2 is 98%, slightly less than 100%.  

Oxygen consumption:

The heart consumes a lot of oxygen, and this consumption changes with activity. At rest, myocardial oxygen consumption is 60 to 80 ml per 100 gm per minute, increasing fourfold during exercise. This is regulated by autoregulation and nervous and chemical factors.

Usually, the oxygen supply does not exceed the myocardial need. If the myocardial demand exceeds the oxygen supply, a mismatch produces myocardial ischemia or infarction.

The heart operates only in aerobic conditions, so myocardial oxygen consumption is very high. The left ventricle’s oxygen consumption is about 25 ml/minute, or 10% of the whole body’s. 

Chemical factors:

Chemical: Chemical control plays an essential role in the coronary circulation. Nervous control plays a minor role in the coronary circulation.

Intracellular myocardial ‘adenine nucleotides’ are converted into ‘adenosine,’ which diffuses into the extracellular fluid when the heart receives less blood. Adenosine is a potent coronary vasodilator.

Increased heart activity produces carbon dioxide, hydrogen ions, potassium ions, lactic acid, and adenosine. These metabolites produce coronary vasodilation, which increases blood supply to the heart.

Nitrates increase coronary blood flow.

Hormones –Thyroid hormones, epinephrine, nor-epinephrine cause an increase in the coronary circulation.

Neural control

Neural control: Nervous control plays a minor role in coronary circulation.

Clinical

Causes of myocardial ischemia and  infarction,

Usually, the oxygen supply does not exceed the myocardial need. If the myocardial demand exceeds the oxygen supply, a mismatch produces myocardial ischemia or infarction, as seen in vigorous exercise or physical work.

Coronary blood circulation may be interrupted for many reasons, including embolism and coronary artery diseases.

Hashtag:Autoregulation#End arteries #oxygen#consumption# coronary artery#Adenosine#Venous drainage#

FAQ:

Q1. What are end arteries?

A. When an artery supplies blood in a given area of an organ, there is no overlap of blood supply. If this artery is blocked for any cause, the area supplied by it will become ischaemic, and later, it will be necrosed.
