NUTR 3336 Lecture 7Outline of Last Lecture ► Metabolic DisordersNutrition PathophysiologyChapter 28► Inborn Errors of Metabolism► A group of diseases that effect a variety of metabolic processes Caused by:► A defect in the activity of one of the enzymes that can catalyze synthesis of a given substrate when needed May lead to:► The accumulation of compounds► Deficiencies► Epidemiology► Epidemiology/Inheritance Over 200 metabolic disorders reported Inherited through autosomal recessive transmission Approximately 4% of individuals in the US are born with genetic or partial genetic disorders each year► Pathophysiology of Impaired Metabolism► May be related to: Deficient or absent enzyme activity Defective gene that results in a change to the binding site of cofactors Enzymatic block that results from a much needed end product► Diagnosis► Newborn Screening Babies must be able to perform physiological tasks Detection may be complicated due to non-specific symptoms (and similar symptoms from inborn error to inborn error)► Clinical Manifestations► Neurological► Respiratory► GI signs► Organ Dysfunction► Amino Acid Disorders► PKU Absence of the Phenylalanine Hydroxylase enzyme► Inability to convert phenylalanine into tyrosine► Tyrosine becomes a conditionally EAAThese notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture. GradeBuddy is best used as a supplement to your own notes, not as a substitute.► Results in a build up of phenylalanine, phenylacetic, and phenylpyruvic acid levels► If untreated may cause mental retardation, severe behavioral problems, neurological abnormalities► Found to have musty odor and demyelination of white matter of brain► Disorders of CHO Metabolism► Include problems processing simple sugars (galactose and fuctose) OR defects in synthesizing and releasing glucose► Galactosemia Enzyme defect in galactose leading to several physiological problems Galactose is unable to convert galactose-1-phosphate into glucose-1-phosphate forthe production of free glucose via glycolysis► Disorders of CHO Metabolism► Galactosemia Clinical Manifestations:► Jaundice► Vomiting► Anorexia► Failure to gain wt► Disorders of CHO Metabolism► Fructose Intolerance Caused by a deficiency in activity of fructose-1-phosphate aldolase► Results in the accumulation of fructose-1-phosphate► Causes the depletion of inorganic phosphate and ATP Symptoms:► Vomiting► FTT► Diarrhea► Hypoglycemia► Liver Dysfunction► Aversion to Sweets► Disorders of CHO Metabolism► Glycogen Storage Diseases Caused by deficiencies of enzymes that regulate the synthesis and degradation of glycogen Symptoms:► Hypoglycemia► Poor Growth► Lactic Acidosis► Hyperlipidemia► Elevated Uric Acid Levels► Osteoporosis► Disorders of Fat Metabolism► Affects the body’s ability to properly undergo beta oxidation of fatty acids► Presents in infancy► HIV and AIDSNutrition PathophysioloyChapter 26Claudia Scott MS, RD, LD► Introduction► HIV- Human Immunodeficiency Virus Targets Host Immune Cells Asymptomatic Transmitted from person to person through infected body fluids► Progression of HIV to the associated symptomatic condition of AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) has the potential to render the host vulnerable to opportunistic infections► Introduction► HIV- Human Immunodeficiency Virus Epidemiology► Spread started before 1970► In 2005 there were an estimated 850,000- 950,000 people living with HIV in the US► Normal Anatomy and Physiology of Immune System ► Immunity Described As: Primary or secondary Humoral or cellular Active or Passive► T cells Primary target of HIV► CD4 cells and macrophages Infected and rendered dysfunctional by HIV► HIV and AIDS ► Etiology HIV is a retrovirus that contains RNA► Transcribed to dual stand DNA for incorporation HIV contains 9 genes, 6 of which or essential for penetrating and infecting target cells HIV transmission depends on inoculation dose and number of exposures► HIV and AIDS ► Etiology HIV injects RNA, enzymes, and other substances that assist in viral integration and replication When activated, cells become a viral factory that manufactures viral components As host CD4 cell manufactures, assembles, and releases viruses, it is incapacitatedand destroyed and macrophages harboring HIV are rendered dysfunctional► HIV and AIDS ► Pathophysiology Primary HIV infection shows a noted reduction in CD4 cell counts The higher the viral burden of HIV, the more CD4 cells are infected, rendered dysfunctional, and destroyed Malabsorption common due to HIV transmitted through the GI tract► HIV and AIDS► Diagnosis Blood to blood is most common transmission Possible to be exposed without seroconversion HIV-1► Primary subtype of HIV in America► There is a window period where HIV may be undetectable► ELISA used to anticipate the possibility of HIV infection► HIV and AIDS► Diagnosis HIV-1 continued…► Antibody levels may increase progressively for about 3-5 months► As infection transitions from recent to established, there is an increase in aggressiveness and affinity of HIV antibodies HIV-2► Common in Western Africa► Same testing methods as HIV-1► HIV and AIDS► Diagnosis Diagnosis of advanced HIV infection as AIDS is broken down into 3 classifications:► A CD4 count of <200 cells per microliter► A CD4 count that comprises <14% of lymphocytes present► And/or an AIDS defining illness► HIV and AIDS► Diagnosis The WHO Clinical and Immune Cell Categories of HIV Infection:► Primary Infection► Clinical Stage 1► Clinical Stage 2► Clinical Stage 3► Clinical Stage 4► HIV and AIDS► Clinical Manifestations: Initiation of Inflammatory Processes Altered Nutrient Metabolism Neurological Disorders Pulmonary Disorders Cardiac Problems GI Disorders Chronic Inflammation Hepatic Diseases Anemias Renal Failure Oral LesionsOutline of Current Lecture ► Musculoskeletal DiseasesChapter 27Nutrition Pathophysiology► Anatomy and Physiology► Cartilage Flexible yet firm connective tissue Amorphous gel-like matrix Composed of water, protein and CHO complexes (proteolycans) Formed by chondronblasts that become trapped in small
