Control of the exocrine function of the pancreas is via the hormones gastrin 100mg desyrel otc anxiety symptoms lump in throat, cholecystokinin and secretin. Pancreatic secretions from ductal cells contain bicarbonate ions that neutralise the acidic chyme from the stomach and are important in protecting the pancreas from recurrent acute and chronic pancreatitis by quickly sweeping zymogens out of it. To remain viable, all cells of the body are required to maintain a low intracellular concen- tration of sodium. The sodium–potassium pump is a highly conserved integral membrane protein, expressed in virtually all animal cells. The transport of sodium creates both an electrical and a chemical gradient across the plasma membrane. In turn this provides: • a cell’s resting membrane potential, the gradient of which is the basis for excitability in nerve and muscle cells • export of sodium from the cell, providing the driving force for several facilitated transporters, which import glucose, amino acids and other nutrients into the cell • translocation of sodium from one side of an epithelium to the other, creating an osmotic gradient that drives absorption of water. A beta glycoprotein subunit appears critical in facilitating plasma membrane localisation and activation of the alpha subunit. There are 8–10 transmembrane domains; alpha and beta subunits exist in several isoforms. Different isoforms of the alpha subunit have different affinities for such glycosides. Binding of these widely-used drugs to sodium pumps specifically inhibits their activity. Inhibition of sodium pump activity in cardiac myocytes results in an increase in intracellular sodium concentration; in turn this leads to an increase in intracellular calcium concentration by sodium–calcium exchange, which appears to be the proximal mechanism for enhancing cardiac contractility. The major hormonal controls over pump activity can be summarised as follows: • Thyroid hormones appear to stimulate subunit gene transcription. Within minutes of elevated insulin secretion, pumps containing alpha-1 and 2 isoforms have increased affinity for sodium and increased turnover rate. In skeletal muscle, insulin may also recruit pumps stored in the cytoplasm or activate latent pumps already present in the membrane.
