Atheroma starts as fatty and cellular infiltration of the endothelium. Later becomes larger, [blank_start]__________[blank_end] and [blank_start]__________[blank_end] and may block 80% of the XS of parts of the coronary arteries. (put them in alphabetic order)
Respuesta
Calcified
Fibrosed
Pregunta 2
Pregunta
What’s responsible for the drastically reduced force output in EARLY ischaemic failure?
Respuesta
Changes in pH
Changes in Pi
Failure of excitation-contaction coupling
Low ATP
Pregunta 3
Pregunta
True or false: ROS = Reactive Oxygen Species.
Respuesta
True
False
Pregunta 4
Pregunta
Why does early reperfusion cause complete recovery whereas late reperfusion does not?
Respuesta
On reperfusion damage mitochondria produce Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) from O2, which damage membrane and contractile proteins
Coupled exchanger theory causes Ca2+ overload which activates Ca2+-activated proteases and causes cell damage
Both of the above
[none of the above]
Pregunta 5
Pregunta
True or false: ROS can cause damage through protein modification whereby –SH groups are oxidised into –S-S- groups.
Respuesta
True
False
Pregunta 6
Pregunta
True or false: ROS can cause damage through protein modification whereby –S-S- groups are oxidised into –SH groups.
Respuesta
True
False
Pregunta 7
Pregunta
Excess ROS leads to specific mitochondrial damage in which the MPTP opens. MPTP = ??
Respuesta
Mitochondrial Permeability Transition Pore
Modification of Protein Transition Pore
Mitochondrial Pore Transition Permeability
Mitochondrial Pore Transition Protein
Pregunta 8
Pregunta
When the MPTP opens, Oxidative phosphorylation [blank_start]__________[blank_end], mitochondrial contents leak out, and the cell will eventually die by necrosis.
