_____ is a hormone that stimulates milk production by alveolar cells in mammary tissue of the breast
prolactin produced by the anterior pituitary gland that stimulates the mammary glands in the woman's breasts to produce milk during breastfeeding during the pregnancy, prolactin levels are increased, causing an enlargement of the mammary glands in the breasts in preparation for the production of milk milk production normally begins as progesterone levels decrease by the end of pregnancy and sucking stimulus is present
the role of trypsin in digestion is to break down
protein trypsin is produced in the pancreas as the inactive form, proenzyme trypsinogen. the digestive role of trypsin is to break down proteins at the peptide bonds on certain amino acids
leptin
protein (hormone) that is produced in the fat cells and sends a signal to the brain to help regulate hunger and satiety. when leptin levels are elevated, the brain sense the body has a sufficient amount of energy, and the individual feels content with the amt of food they've eaten
where does absorption in the GI tract occur for lipids and each of the fat soluble vitamins (A,D,E,K)
proximal jejunum it begins in the duodenum to a small extent, it continues in the proximal portion of the jejunum. Vitamins D and K continue absorbing in the ileum and some remaining vitamin K is absorbed in the large intestine the majority of nutrient absorption occurs in the first 100-150 cm of the jejunum
what is the end product of glycolysis, which will be the substrate used for additional energy production in the Krebs cycle
pyruvate glycolysis begins with a molecule of glucose, this molecule is rearranged and split into two 3 carbon chains. these two 3 carbon chains go through several enzymatic reactions and produce 2 NADH molecules, 2 pyruvate molecules, and a net of 2 ATP molecules the ATP molecules may be used to immediate energy, the NADH molecules eventually make their way into the electron transport chain in the matrix of the mitochondria, which produces 3 ATP molecules each the pyruvate molecules are known as the end product of glycolysis. following glycolysis, each pyruvate molecule is first oxidized into acetyl CoA which joins with oxaloacetate to produce citric acid. this begins the Krebs cycle or citric acid cycle. during the cycle, NADH, FADH2 and ATP are produced. citric acid loses carbon atoms to form oxaloacetate, which then joins with another acetyl CoA produced from pyruvate oxidation after glycolysis and then the cycle repeats. the carbon atoms lost from citric acid join with oxygen to form carbon dioxide which is expelled the NADH and FADH2 enter the electron transport chain to produce additional ATP molecules
PTH
raises blood calcium levels acts upon several areas in the body to correct low blood calcium levels including the bone, kidneys, and intestines via the kidneys in bone, PTH stimulates bone resorption, which is the destruction of bone by osteoclasts. calcium is release from the bone tissue to the blood in the kidneys, PTH reduces the loss of calcium in the urine. PTH also enhances the absorption of calcium in the intestines by increasing the production of activated vitamin D. vitamin D occurs in the kidney
anabolism
reaction where small molecules are put together to build larger compounds, and this process requires energy. still following the ATP-CP cycle example, the smaller ADP molecule is enigmatically combined with another high energy phosphate from creatine phosphate (CP) to produce the larger sized molecule, ATP once again. this process requires energy.

cortisol
regulates how the body converts fats, proteins, and carbs for energy. when elevated, it can make it more difficult to lose weight
SGLT
sodium dependent glucose transporter, and this is where glucose is coupled with sodium and both are transported across a membrane by facilitated diffusion. glucose is pumped from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration with the use of energy. the energy, however, is not that of ATP, rather it is from the sodium concentration gradient. sodium couples with glucose, and they move through the transporter together. once on the other side of the membrane, the sodium detaches from the glucose, and the sodium is pumped back to the other side of the membrane with the help of the sodium potassium pump
