NBA6 Nutrient digestion + absorption + nutrient sensing
21 important questions on NBA6 Nutrient digestion + absorption + nutrient sensing
Mechanisms of water-soluble vitamin absorption; vitamin B12
- release of bound B12 by acid-peptic digestion; binding of B12 to haptocorrin; release of B12 from haptocorrin by pancreatic enzymes; complex with intrinsic factor
Transport
- membrane receptor (cubilin); endocytosis and processing via endosomal-lysosomal pathway;B12 enters transcobalamin-contaning secretory vesicles, transports through Bas-lateral membrane, and binds to transcobalamin II
Vitamin B12 absorption
- Vitamin B12 is released from food
- Vitamin B12 binds to R proteins found in saliva and gastric juice
- Within the small intestine R protein is digested to release vitamin B12
- Vitamin B12 binds intrinsic factor (IF) forming a complex in the small intestine
- The vitamin B12-IF complex binds to a receptor on enterocytes in the ileum and gets internalized by endocytosis
What needs to be known about mineral absorption
- The vast bulk of mineral absorption occurs in the small intestine
- the best-studied mechanism of absorption are for calcium and iron
- for many minerals specific ATPase activity is required
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
For my 1st exam I got a C. Then, I started looking for ways to learn better and I came across Study Smart. Since then I have scored a A+, A, A- and another A. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to hear it. I am so happy with it!!
I was struggling to finish all my first-year subjects for 3 years. Then I discovered Study Smart, which helped me to finish all of them within 3 months.
Because of StudySmart, things are going well in many ways. Before, I always had study stress and no time for anything. Now I feel calm and confident (because of the program). I used to score a B, now I usually score an A or A+.
Hey Chris, I really want to thank you very much for developing the platform, I usually got around C for my exams, now I scored an A+, an A and a A- !!
Since using Study Smart, my average has increased significantly. I even completed a statistics course with a A+ while I'm bad at statistics. I took on extra courses this year, because of Study Smart. Thanks so much!
Ever since I started studying with StudySmart I passed all my exams !!! No more re-sits!! At first, I was happy with a pass and now I only get good grades. Many thanks!
I aced all the courses I studied with Study Smart. For law, I first scored a D, and now an A! I’m 100% sure that I’ll pass all the courses I study with Study Smart.
I always thought I studied well. My grades were fine. I could never have imagined that applying these study skills would have such a huge and direct impact on my grades, my speed and the pleasure I have in learning.
For the first time, I finally feel totally confident about the way I learn. I have the perfect overview and make great progress in terms of speed and the grades I get. Thanks, Chris!
I immediately started to enjoy learning again, and my grades soared. All of a sudden, everything went better. I highly recommend Study Smart to all students..
Being able to create my materials online made the process of studying so much smoother and quicker. I no longer have to spend a huge amount of my time on creating my summaries.
At first, my notes were a mess. Now I use Study Smart to take my notes in a perfectly structured way. It helps me to save a lot of time and do other things I enjoy.
Students that study with Study Smart get better grades. The system applies all the learning methods in such a way that both well-performing students and students who struggle perform much better.
Hi Chris, I would like to thank you very much. Last year I scored C on a course, and this year I got an A+ thanks to your method! Thank you very much!
The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with StudySmart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, StudySmart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to StudySmart, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
How is calcium being absorpted?
- Duodenum and jejunum
- two distinct mechanisms:
- active, transcellular absorption
- requires carrier
- passive, paracellular absorption
- only when moderate or high amounts in diet
- stimulated by vitamin D
How is iron absorpted?
- Heme iron (represents ±10-15% of dietary iron intake)
- ±20% absorbed
- present in meats
- absorption not affected by other compounds
- Nonheme iron (±80% dietary intake)
- ±max 2-3% absorbed
- absorption susceptible to inhibition/stimulation by other dietary constituents
Why nutrient sensing?
- To control nutrient/energy intake
- two different levels
- cellular level
- whole intestine
- required: receptors and/or afferent/efferent nerves
- ultimate effect: appetite regulation
The gut endocrine system
where are which cells located
- intestinal stem cells
- paneth cells
- transit amplifying cells
- goblet cells
- enteroendocrine cells
- enterocytes
Enteroendocrine cells, what do they do?
they make gut hormones
- Restricted to mucosa; deeper half; only ±1% of epithelial population
- diversity higher in small intestine than colon
- various subtypes (>12); secrete > 20 hormones
- secreted hormones act locally, on other cells, on nerves ending or other organs
every enteroendocrine cell is different, it has a different specialisation --> so they make different hormones (>12 subtypes and make >20 hormones)
Enteroendocrine cells, what do they do?
they make gut hormones
- Restricted to mucosa; deeper half; only ±1% of epithelial population
- diversity higher in small intestine than colon
- various subtypes (>12); secrete > 20 hormones
- secreted hormones act locally, on other cells, on nerves ending or other organs
every enteroendocrine cell is different, it has a different specialisation --> so they make different hormones (>12 subtypes and make >20 hormones)
What can the gut hormones made by enteroendocrine cells do?
- endocrine - distant target cell
- autocrine
- neurocrine
- paracrine
Effects of the gut hormones are pleiotropic it does the regulation of:
- Appetite and satiety
- changes gastric emptying and intestinal transit
- release of digestive enzymes
- induction of nutrient transporters and digestive enzymes
- increase intestinal barrier function
- modulation of tissue growth and immune response
What are the locations and principal effects of GIP and GLP-1?
- proximal small intestine
- stimulation of insulin release
GLP-1
- distal small intestine, colon
- stimulation of carbohydrate uptake, slowing of intestinal transit, appetite regulation, insulin release
What can be seen in the simplified model of nutrient sensing?
G protien
What is the G protein-coupled receptor structure?
- The extracellular domain contains the binding site for a ligand (a hormone or neurotransmitter)
- seven trans-membrane helices
- intracellular domain that interacts with G proteins
What are the components of the hormone receptor - G protein effector system
no hormon: inactive effector
Bound hormone (H): active effector
N; C; E; H; alfa; beta; gamma; GDP/GTP
Signal amplification by second messengers, how does this work

an enteroendocrine cell expresses multiple receptors
What are the functional impacts (g protein)
- Modulating digestive tract motility
- e.g. Serotonin
- Food perception and feeding behaviour
- e.g. PYY/GLP1/GIP
- Microbiota monitoring
- e.g. GPR41/GPR43
What are the biological functions of GIP and GLP-1?
- increase bone formation
- increase memory
- increase insuline, beta cell mass, glucagon
- decrease gastric acid secretion
- increase fat accumulation
GLP-1
- increase memory
- decrease food intake
- increase insulin, beta cell mass
- decrease glucagon
- decrease gastric emptying

Stimulation of GIP and GLP-1 secretion
Secretion stimulated after meal ingestion:
- rich in fast and glucose; rate of absorption
- made by
K cells
GLP-1
- rich in fats and carbohydrates, presence in lumen
- made by L cells
