5. Indicate which one of the following statements is not correct:a. Drugs that are taken up into the body through the gastrointestinalmucosa will be transported to the liver via the portal vein before goinginto general circulation.b. If the drug is susceptible to metabolic degradation in the liver, thismay considerably enhance the activity of the drug. This phenomenonis known as the hepatic first-pass effect.c. Therectal route may also show varying degrees of the first-pass effect.d. In other routes of administration (intravenous, vaginal, nasal, buccaland sublingual) the drug is distributed in the body before reaching theliver.Whilst the liver is the main metabolic organ of the body, metabolismmay also take place in the gastrointestinal lumen and indeed in theе.mucosal membranes.

Drugs can be administered into the body via various sites; Orally, sublingual, intravenous, rectal,…

1. A child was admitted to the clinic with diarrhea after feeding on milk. To determine the diagnosis, a lactosc tolerance test was conducted. The test solution contained 50 grams of lactose and was taken on an empty stomach. Blood glucose levels were measured regularly over the next two hours- 30, 60 and 90 min after test solution and it turned out that the blood glucose concentration was increased slightly. Present the possible reasons for the results, argue them. For this: a) write a reaction of lactose digestion in the intestine, specify the enzyme; b) explain why the blood glucose concentration was not increased; c) indicate the molecular mechanisms of the monosaccharide transport to the small intestine cells and answer whether the violation of their absorption can lead to these symptoms.
