Lactase
Maltase
Dextrinase, glucozmylase and ismlatase
After sugars are broken all the way down, how is glucose absorbed
co tranport with Na+ at level of microvilli
Where does Protein diestion begin
Stomach with Pepsin and HCL
What happen after proteins are partially broken down in stomach
broken down my pancreatic proteases, and brush border enzymes
What are the brush border enzymes that break down proteins
Aminopeptidase
Carboxypetidase
Dipetidase
Proteins are ultimately broken down into AA and peptides, unlike carbs, more complex proteins
di, tri and tetra peptides can be absorbed
How are peptides transported
PEPT-1 with H+ for di and tri peptides
Are many drugs transported via peptide transporter, one should avoid levodopa with
a high protein meal
How are AA transported
via Na+ or H+ cotransport
What is location of lipid digestion, 3 steps
1. Gastric lipases, then Small intesitne--bile salts emulsify, and pancreatic lipases form michelles
What require absoprtion via micelles
Cholesterol, plant steol, and vitamins ADEK ---Cholesterol requires extra NPC1L1 transporter as well
What allows cholesterol plant seteola dn vitamine ADEK to be emulsified
bile salts
What fats can be absorbed without micelles
fatty acids and monoglycerdies
What happens to fatty acids and monoglycerides
enter enterocytes bcecome triglycerides
What happens to triglycerides
b/c chylomicone and is transported to blood steam via lactela
What happens to medium chain fatty acids
enter portal circulation
