- 1Nutrition - Energy Intake1) Animals eat primarily to meet their energy requirement
2) Less than 25% of the diet is typically needed to meet an animal's essential nutrient requirements - 2What are the main sources of energy in the diet?1) Carbohydrates (3.5 kcal AAFCO)
2) Fats (8.5 kcal AAFCO)
3) Proteins (3.5 kcal AAFCO)
4) Fiber (a form of carbohydrate) also can be a source of energy. The amount of energy provided by fiber depends on the composition of the fiber and the animal species (i.e. ruminant vs mono gastric). Ends up being metabolized like a fat
5) Vitamins and some minerals contribute to energy metabolism by serving as regulators, coenzymes or prosthetic groups for enzymes in major metabolic pathways. ex: Niacin --> NAD - 3What is the hormonal response to feeding?
- 4What is the hormonal response to fasting? (Hormones Increased)
- 5What is the hormonal response to fasting? (Hormones Decreased)
- 6How does a dog consuming a low carb diet supply glucose for RBCs, brain, and other tissues?Gluconeogenesis!
- The dog consuming the low carb diet will use the excess amino acids for gluconeogenesis (synthesis of glucose). Some glycerol from dietary lipids may also be used for gluconeogenesis
- The liver and kidneys are the only tissues capable of synthesizing glucose that can be released into the circulation. In the fed state, the liver will be the major site of gluconeogenesis in the dog consuming the low CHO diet - 7How does a dog consuming the high carb diet deal with the excess carbs in its diet?Lipogenesis!
- Glycogen is bulky since a substantial amount of water is associated with the hydroxyl groups in the glycogen molecule. Thus, only a limited amount of glucose can be stored as glycogen
- The dog consuming the high carb diet will need to activate lipogenesis to convert some of the glucose from this diet to fatty acids which can readily be stored in triglycerides
- In dogs, lipogenesis occurs primarily in the liver
- Activation of lipogenesis will be much greater with the high carb versus low carb diet - 8What changes in metabolism occur following digestion and absorption of carbs, proteins, and lipids from a meal?- There is a switch in metabolism when meal ends
- Not as much coming into the small intestine
- Start to use stored glucose
- Needs stimulus to break down liver glycogen and ramp up gluconeogenesis - 9GLUT-1A generic transporter found in almost every cell; Km for glucose of about 1mM
- 10GLUT-2A glucose transporter found in liver and alpha and beta cells of the pancreas with a high binding constant for glucose
- 11GLUT-4A glucose transporter with a low binding constant, high affinity for glucose, that is known to move from intracellular to membrane locations, especially in response to insulin. It is present in muscle and adipose tissue
- 12Hexokinase-2- Km for glucose = 250 um
- Inhibited by G6P
- Found mostly in insulin-sensitive cells, such as muscle and adipose tissue
- It is adaptable
- Phosphorylates glucose - 13Hexokinase-4- Km for glucose = 20,000 uM or 20 mM
- NOT inhibited by G6P
- Found in liver >>> B cells >>> kidney
- It is adaptable and especially sensitive to insulin
- Phosphorylates glucose, will keep acting as long as there is glucose available - 14Oropharyngeal phase of swallowingOral - prehension, aboral transport to tongue base
Pharyngeal - transport of bolus from oropharynx to hypopharynx
Cricopharyngeal - transport of bolus through upper esophageal sphincter - 15Esophageal phase of swallowingBolus transport from upper to lower esophageal sphincter
- 16Gastroesophageal phase of swallowingBolus transport through lower esophageal sphincter

3) Types of emesis:
- Both peripheral and central emetogens
- First line anti-emetic in pancreatitis and GI disease

- Bone marrow suppression in young puppies possible
- Has some calcium channel blocker activity: use with caution in patients on Ca channel or beta blockers
6) Being used in pigs now extralabelly and studying use in horses - 21Odansetron1) MECHANISM: Serotonin Antagonist (5-HT3) - inhibit serotonin receptors in the chemoreceptor trigger zone
2) Types of emesis: chemotherapy, radiation, chemical irritants to the gut (enterochromaffin cells degranulate > release 5-HT, adjunctive for pancreatitis and GI origin emesis, NOT effective vs motion sickness or vestibular - not as potent against central stimuli
3) Administered IV
4) Not highly effective at reducing nausea, even though it controls emesis
5) Adverse effects: generally very safe in animals, tachycardia, bradycardia, PR and QT prolongation on ECG in humans, disrupt GI motility - constipation and diarrhea - 22Metoclopramide1) MECHANISM: D2 inhibits dopaminergic transmission in CNS (D2 antagonist), Inhibits serotonin receptors in chemoreceptor trigger zone (5-HT3 antagonist, weak), inhibits histamine-1 receptors (H1 antagonist, weak), Peripheral: Prokinetic effect = increases gastric and duodenal emptying
2) More effective in dogs
3) Types of Emesis: chemotherapy, delayed gastric emptying - reflux gastritis, viral enteritis, weak for motion sickness
4) Routes: oral, IV
5) Adverse Effects: CNS excitement (extrapyramidal signs) - drug induced movement disorders through activation of brainstem extrapyramidal tracts, restlessness, agitation, CONTRAINDICATED IN SEIZURING PATIENTS, Caution in heart failure - increases aldosterone > edema, Do not use in animals with GI obstructions - prokinetic activity - 23Antihistamines1) MECHANISM: H1 receptors blockers, block cholinergic nerve transmission from vestibular system to vomiting center, block histaminic nerve transmission from vestibular system to vomiting center
2) Types of emesis: motion sickness, vestibular disease
Examples: Diphenhydramine, Dimenhydrinate (Dramamine), Hydroxyzine
3) More effective in dogs than cats

6. Uremia
7. Infectious disease - ruminants (clostridial) - 27Gastric Acid SecretionHCL secretion by parietal cell
1. Cholinergic (muscarinic) stimulation from gastric distention/meal in small animals - horses are continual gastric acid secretors, although meals increase further
2. From Histamine H2 receptor stimulation
- Histamine from enterochromaffin cells (they are stimulated by gastrin to release histamine from the G cells, which secrete gastrin into systemic circulation)
- Direct stimulation by gastrin via gastrin receptor on parietal cell - 28Antacids1. Aluminum hydroxide - constipating

3. AI can interfere with phosphorus absorption - 30Sucralfate1. Disassociates to sucrose octasulfate and aluminum hydroxide in acid environment
2. Cytoprotective - forms a gel and coats areas that have lost epithelium. Can provide some analgesia and promote healing by:
- Sucrose octasulfate polymerizes and binds to ulcerated mucosa
- Decreases H++ secretion
- Inactivates pepsin

- 35Global controlInvolves hormone-activated production of second messengers that regulate cellular reactions for the benefit of the organism as a whole
- 36HexokinaseGlucose + ATP -> Glucose-6P
- This is a priming reaction: ATP is consumed here in order to get more later
