CHM 3020: Amino Acids, Proteins, and diseases

The chemical bonds between amino acids in the primary structure of proteins are

• Hydrogen bonds

• Disulfide bonds.

• Peptide bonds

• a. Hydrophilic bonds.

Hyperalbuminemia is caused by

• Dehydration syndromes

• Liver disease

• Burns

• Gastroenteropathy

A protein that is increased or normal in nephrotic syndrome is

• a₁-antitrypsin

• a₂-macroglobulin

• Albumin

• Hemopexin

The principal protein for transport of iron from the intestine to the liver, bone marrow, or spleen for storage is

• Transferrin

• Ceruloplasmin

• Alpha Fetoprotein

The principal protein for transport of iron from the intestine to the liver, bone marrow, or spleen for storage is

• Haptoglobin

Clinical Significance of the Guthrie Test is:

• Identify Inborn Errors of Metabolism

• Identify Protein abormalities

• Monitor Liver Function

• Monitor Kidney Function

Wilson's Disease is an autosomal recessive disorder where

• Ceruloplasin levels are low and copper tissue levels are high

• Ceruloplasin levels are high and copper tissue levels are low

• Pre-albumin levels are low indication poor nutrition status

• Transferrin levels are high indicating anemia.

What is the primary clinical significance of Non Protein Nitrogen's?

• Pancreatic function

• Liver Funtion

• Renal Function

• Thyroid function

Increased blood uric acid levels would indicate:

• Hyperuricemia

• Hypouricemia

• Dysuricemia

• Reye's syndrome

Azotemia indicates:

• High uric acid

• High Blood Urea Nitrogen

• Low Creatinine

• Low Ammonia Level
