Most dietary carbohydrates are polymers of hexoses,primarily glucose, galactose and fructose.
Glucose is stored in its phosphorylated form glucose-6-phosphate; the formation of which in muscles is catalyzed by hexokinase, and in the liver by glucokinase.
Glucokinase is important because its activity is stimulated by insulin and its activity reduced in starvation, and glucokinase has no stronger affinity for glucose than hexokinase.
Carbohydrate metabolism involves the different biochemical processes responsible for the formation, breakdown, and interconversion of carbohydrates in living organisms.

Carbohydrates (also called carbs) are a type of macronutrient found in certain foods and drinks. Sugars, starches and fiber are carbohydrates. Other macronutrients include fat and protein. Your body needs these macronutrients to stay healthy.
Glucose transporters are a wide group of membrane proteins that facilitate the transport of glucose across the plasma membrane, a process known as facilitated diffusion. Because glucose is a vital source of energy for all life, these transporters are present in all phyla.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

1. Carbohydrate Digestion and Absorption
NASPGHAN Physiology Series
Christine Waasdorp Hurtado, MD, MSCS, FAAP
Christine.Waasdorp@childrenscolorado.org
Expert Reviewers: Richard Grand, MD and Jeremiah Levine, MD
Overview:
Carbohydrates in the diet provide the major exogenous source for glucose, which is the primary
energy source for cells. They account for 40-60% of the calories in the western diet and higher
percentages in protein scarce diets. Each gram of carbohydrate provides 4 calories.
Carbohydrates are hydrophilic and require a series of reactions to digest them to
monosaccharides which are absorbed in the small intestine. Carbohydrates consist of three main
groups, simple carbohydrates (monosaccharides), disaccharides and complex carbohydrates
(starch, glycogen, and fiber). The common monosaccharides include glucose, fructose,
galactose, xylose and ribose. The varying molecular arrangements result in varying degrees of
sweetness, with fructose being the sweetest. Disaccharides are created by the condensation of
two monosaccharides and require hydrolysis for separation at the time of absorption. Examples
of disaccharides include - lactose (glucose and galactose), sucrose (glucose and fructose) and
maltose (glucose and glucose). Complex carbohydrates include starch (amylose and
amylopectin), fiber, glycogen (straight and branched chains of glucose), and glycolipids.
Digestion:
The goal of carbohydrate digestion is to break down all disaccharides and complex
carbohydrates into monosaccharides for absorption, although not all are completely absorbed in
the small intestine (e.g., fiber). Digestion begins in the mouth with salivary amylase released
during the process of chewing. There is a positive feedback loop resulting in increased oral
amylase secretion in people consuming diets high in carbohydrates. The amylase is synthesized
in the serous cells of the salivary glands. Amylase breaks starches into maltose and
polysaccharides. Amylase is sensitive to pH and thus is inhibited in the acidic environment of
the stomach. Only 5% of starch is broken down by salivary amylase due to limited
exposure. Salivary amylase has increased importance in two groups; infants with decreased
pancreatic amylase production in the first 9 months and children with pancreatic insufficiency
from cystic fibrosis or other etiologies.
Minimal carbohydrate digestion occurs in the stomach due to the inactivation of amylase in the
acidic environment. Pancreatic amylase is released from acinar cells into the small intestine in
concert with other enzymes under the stimulus of secretin and CCK and continues the process of
carbohydrate digestion. Amylase targets the α-1,4 bonds of complex carbohydrates and is unable
to break terminal bonds or α-1,6 bonds. Starch is digested in the small intestine to simple
components derived from branched amylopectin (maltose, maltotriose and α-limit
dextrins). Oligosaccharides and disaccharides are digested by specific enzymes in the
microvillus membrane (brush border).
2. Brush border enzymes are synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum and glycosylated in the
Golgi apparatus of the enterocyte. They are then trafficked to the apical membrane where they
are anchored at the surface by a transmembrane segment. The anchored enzymes are active
following cleavage of a small residue at the extracellular N-terminal end. Disaccharidases are
protected from proteolysis by glycosylation and are found in higher concentration in villus
enterocytes of the proximal small bowel. These enzymes include maltase (digests maltose to
glucose and glucose), sucrase (digests sucrose to fructose and glucose), trehalase (digests
trehalose to glucose and glucose), lactase (digests lactose to galactose and glucose) and
isomaltase (de-branching enzyme digests α1,6 bonds of limit dextrin to produce
glucose). Glucose does not require any additional digestion. The rate limiting step for
absorption differs among the carbohydrates. Sucrose uptake is regulated after hydrolysis by the
apical membrane uptake rate of fructose and glucose, whereas lactose absorption is limited by
the rate of hydrolysis.(See Figure 2)
Humans born full-term have a full complement of disaccharidases at delivery. However,
disaccharidase levels vary during gestation: sucrase appears early (by about 20 weeks), while
lactase does not achieve “normal” levels until the 3rd
trimester. In most humans, lactase
decreases with age starting at about 3-5 years or earlier depending on the population. This
pattern has been termed lactase non-persistence. However, in people of Northern European
ancestry and other population groups in small areas elsewhere in the world, lactase activity
remains at the infantile level. This is termed lactase persistence. Lactase non-persistence is
found in the United States mainly in African-Americans, Asians, and Native Americans,
although people of Southern European ancestry can also exhibit lactase non-
persistence. Lactase activity is “hard wired” genetically; lactase is not inducible, and lactose
restriction does not lower lactase levels. Carbohydrates not digested in the small intestine pass
into the large intestine where they are digested by colonic bacteria. This results in the release of
short chain fatty acids (SCFA) (propionate, butyrate and acetate) along with methane. The
SCFA provide vital nutrition to colonocytes, but excess volumes induce diarrhea and abdominal
cramping.
Clinical correlation - Disaccharide deficiency results in symptoms due to an increased osmotic
load in the small intestine and frequently elevated short chain fatty acid (SCFA) production in
the colon. The presence of SCFA and their contribution to colonocyte health must also be
remembered in children with diversion colitis, which is due to an absence of SCFA.
Absorption:
Once carbohydrates are digested, the products must be absorbed and transported to the portal
circulation. Digestion and absorption are typically coupled, with the enzymes closely located to
the appropriate transporters. Glucose absorption occurs in the small intestine via the SGLT-1
transporter (sodium glucose co-transporter). Fructose absorption is completed via the GLUT5
transporter by facilitated diffusion. (See Figure 3)
Glucose and galactose are actively transported from the small intestine lumen by the sodium
glucose transporter (SGLT-1) located in the brush border of the small intestine. The transporter
is more prevalent in the duodenum and jejunum. Glucose transport is driven by a sodium
gradient across the apical cell membrane generated by the Na+
,K+
-ATPase pump located in the
3. basolateral membrane of the enterocyte. The Na+
,K+
-ATPase pump creates a low intracellular
sodium concentration by transporting 3 Na+
ions out of the cell and 2 K+
ions into the cell. The
SGLT-1 transporter utilizes the sodium gradient. Two Na+
ions bind to the outer face of the
SGLT-1 transporter which results in a conformational change permitting subsequent glucose
binding. The two Na+
ions and the glucose molecule are then transferred to the cytoplasmic side
of the membrane following another conformational change that involves rotation of the receptor.
The glucose is released first followed by the sodium ions. The sodium is transported from high
to low concentration (with concentration gradient) and at the same time allows the carrier to
transport glucose against its concentration gradient. The Na+
ion is subsequently expelled by
Na+
,K+
-ATPase pump to maintain the gradient. The SGLT-1 transporter undergoes another
conformational change resulting in the binding sites again being exposed at the apical surface.
This action can occur one thousand times per second. Much of the glucose transported into the
cell passes out of the cell at basolateral surface by facilitated diffusion via GLUT-2. Sodium
ions and accompanying anions and water follow the glucose, maintaining iso-osmolarity. A
small portion of the glucose is utilized by the cell.
Facilitated diffusion is the mechanism for fructose transport. Facilitated diffusion utilizes a
carrier protein to achieve transport at rates greater than simple diffusion and does not rely on
concentration gradients. GLUT-5 is present on the apical membrane of the brush border
throughout the small intestine with increased density in the proximal small intestine. Little
fructose is metabolized in the cell. Both GLUT-2 and GLUT-5 are present at the basolateral
membrane to transport fructose to the portal circulation. Fructose malabsorption can be
minimized by simultaneous glucose administration suggesting there is another glucose
responsive system in the enterocytes.
There continues to be debate about passive glucose absorption. Recent data suggests passive
glucose absorption does exist, but that it is a facilitated system mediated by glucose-dependent
activation. The GLUT-2 facilitative glucose transporter can be recruited to the brush border
membrane to assist with glucose transport.
Disaccharidase Regulation
Sucrase-isomaltase (SI) and maltase-glucoamylase levels increase in response to high carbohydrate
intake, suggesting a transcriptional regulation mechanism. SI is encoded for by a gene located
on chromosome 3. The 5’ flanking region of the SI gene has several DNA regulatory regions
that control the initiation of gene transcription. Three different transcriptional proteins are
involved in SI transcription promotion including; hepatocyte nuclear factor (HNF-1), GATA-
type zinc finger transcription factors, and caudal-related homeodomain proteins (Cdx). There are
also promoter regions that down-regulate SI transcription. Down regulation of SI occurs in the
presence of glucose. Hormonal influences have also been proposed and are currently being
studied further.
Unlike SI, lactase production is not affected by diet. The lactase gene is located on chromosome
2. Studies have demonstrated that Cdx, HNF-1 and GATA 5, along with other transcription
factors all interact with the proximal promoter region and result in transcription initiation. A
distal promoter region has been identified and is currently being characterized. It has also been
4. proposed that a repressor region exists that down regulates lactase expression. It has been
hypothesized that lactase persistent people fail to bind this repressor due to single nucleotide
polymorphisms (SNPs) These SNPs are currently under investigation.
Clinical Correlations:
• Lactose Intolerance
– See above for lactose intolerance clinical presentation and natural history
– Management of lactose intolerance per the 2010 NIH Consensus Guidelines
(http://consensus.nih.gov/2010/lactosestatement.htm)
• Limit lactose to 12 grams (approx. 1 cup) and titrate for symptoms
• Recommend lactose be taken with other foods
• Evaluate diet for adequate nutrition, particularly calcium and Vitamin
D
• Studies are currently lacking to support use of probiotics or
supplemental lactase.
• Congenital Sucrase-Isomaltase Deficiency
– Autosomal recessive disease due to homozygous or heterozygous mutations in
the SI gene resulting in maldigestion of sucrose. Found in 1 in 5,000 North
Americans, but more significant in Artic indigenous peoples with 10% of
Eskimos affected. Presents with osmotic diarrhea, abdominal pain and FTT.
Treatment requires dietary elimination of sucrose and occasionally initially a
starch free diet. Once the child is sucrose free, starch may be slowly
reintroduced. There is a supplement for sucrase, Sucraid®
, available.
–
• Small Bowel Bacterial Overgrowth
– Increased bacteria in the small bowel due to dysmotility, infection or
medication exposures. The bacteria present in SBBO result in increased
fermentation of sugars. Diagnosis may be made by clinical history and
supported by breath testing, although the sensitivity and specificity of this test
is approximately 60%. In this test, malabsorption of the test sugar results in
increased breath H+
.
–
• Pancreatic Insufficiency
– May be due to cystic fibrosis, chronic pancreatitis, or pancreatic duct
obstruction (tumor). Due to decreased enzyme release there is inadequate
carbohydrate digestion resulting in malabsorption. Only 10% of baseline
quantities of amylase are needed to avoid symptoms of malabsorption.
Failure to alkalinize fluid in small intestine and therefore inactivation of the
pancreatic enzymes may also result in functional pancreatic insufficiency; this
may occur when there is villus atrophy as in celiac disease. The cause is
inadequate release of secretin and CCK.
–
• Celiac disease
– Due to decreased absorptive capacity (decreased number of transporters) and
decreased brush border enzymes associated with decreased villus length there

• Glucose-Galactose Malabsorption
A very rare mutation of SGLT-1 results in a defective transporter that presents with
severe diarrhea at birth. The diarrhea is osmotic in nature due to glucose and
galactose malabsorption. Infants present with diarrhea, FTT and malnutrition.
Treatment is fructose containing formula and avoidance of glucose and galactose.
