assoc w/ elevated serum glucaon migratory erythema, glucose intolerance, wt loss, DVT, depression
Beta Cell timor (Insulinoma)
Tumor size increases and so does sensitivity. Not Specific to pancreatic CA since you need the Lewis blood group antigen for expression; no antigen no expression

Cardiac disease
Predominant lipids in LDL & HDL
Cholesterol & phopholipids
the class of lipoproteins that transport lipids from the intestinal cells to the rest of the body derived from intestinal absorption of triacylglycerol & other lipids
Chylomicrons
4 gropus of plasma lipoproteins
Chylomicrons, VLDL, LDL, HDL
typically assoc w/ DM related sx. diarrhea, steatorrhea, cholelithiasis, & wt loss MC found in the duodenum/jejunum more than the pancreas
Delta Cell tumors (Somatostatinoma)
Most sensitive test to dx Chronic pancreatitis?
ERCP (duodenal intubation)
tumors of the pancreatic islets that secrete gastrin increased gastric secretion, diarrhea, & malabsorption. MC pancreas>duodenum
Gastrinoma
adding H+ atoms to unsat fat to make it a solid
Hydrogenation
Aplastic anemia, infiltrated marrow (CA), drugs (chemo/NSAIDs) Vit B12 or folate deficiency can all be causes of what?
Leukopenia (low WBC count)
liberate the fatty acids from the glycerol backbone of the triglyceride
Lipases that degrade tryglyceride moledule in the GI tract
Islet cell tumors (endocrine tumor)
Most common benign tumor of the pancreas
blood/bone marrow diseases where too many WBCs are made
Myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative diseases
at 15-22wks pregnant women should be screened for

Elevated HTN
SBP 120-129 AND DBP <80
Fatty acid carbons bound to as much H+ as possible. NO double bonds, solid at room temp, MOST animals,
Sat Fat
AVD testing: The triglyceride is elevated above baseline and you believe the LDL is falsely low, what happened?
The pt did not fast
NO double bonds, flat, unlinked Produced by incomplete hydrogenation
Trans Fat
Prdeominant lipid in chylomicrons & VLDL
Triacylglycerols
Forms complex that regulates interaction of actin/myosin to regulate cardiac contracton
Trop T (tropmyosin) Trop I (inhibitory) Trop C (Ca2+ binding)
Fewer H+ bound to carbon. DOUBLE BONDED w/ Kinks in the tails. Liquid at room temp. Most plant fats (OILS)
Unsat Fat
Associate nonpolar lipids w/ amphipathic lipds (phospholipids & cholesterol) & proteins.
Water-miscible lipoproteins
Most common tipe of pancreatic exocrine tumor? Most commonly formed where?
adenocarcinoma exocrine cell in pancratic ducts
Highly sensitive MAB immunoassays have been developed for _______ & ________. ex. HTN can cause dame to heart, producing an elevated level of this. But hospitalization is not necessary.
