MRCP Part 1: Membrane Transport, Glucose & SGLT2 Inhibitors Explained

Recall the physiology. Understand the mechanism. Apply it to the question. In Lecture 2 of this MRCP Part 1 Clinical Sciences series, we explore membrane transport through progressive diagrams and original best-of-five practice questions. We cover: • Simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion • Carrier saturation—and why it does not prove ATP use • Primary and secondary active transport • How the Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase powers sodium-coupled glucose uptake • Symport and antiport • Intestinal glucose absorption: SGLT1 and GLUT2 • Renal glucose reabsorption and glycosuria • How SGLT2 inhibitors such as empagliflozin work Each question review explains the correct answer and why the other options are less appropriate. Designed for doctors preparing for MRCP Part 1 who want to connect familiar physiology with clinical and examination scenarios.Presented by Dr Ryan Goindoo( consultant Physician and Endocrinologist practicing in the UK).
