4 islet cell hormones and what they produce
1. alpha- glucagon 2. beta-insulin and amylin 3. delta-somatostatin (GHIH) 4. F/PP cells-pancreatic polypeptide (stimulates digestion)
3 functions of insulin
1. lowers blood glucose 2. promotes glu utilization by skeletal muscle and fat 3. supress glucose production by liver
2 fxn of glucagon
1. rasie blood glucose 2. Promotes glucose production
7 things that stimulate insulin secretion
1. glucose 2. aa 3. glucagon 4. gastrin 5. beta agonists 6. alpha blockers 7. sulfonylureas
4 things that inhibits insulin secretion
1. alpha agonists 2. somatostatin 3. prostaglandins-mostly E class 4. Diazoxide
What stimulates glucagon secretion (3)
1. decrease in blood glucose 2. aa 3. sympathetic nerve stimulation
What inhibits glucagon secretion (3)
1. increase in blood glucose 2. somatostatin 3. fatty acids
4 main things that oppose insulin in response to low blood glucose levels
1. glucagon 2. Beta agonists 3. glucocorticoids 4. GH; diabetogenic
Where are most insulin degraded?
Liver
GI hormones that stimulate pancreas to produce insulin
Incretins/GLP-1
Summarize insulin secretion and action; start from stimulus of intestine
1. Glu from intestine stimulates the beta cell of pancreas to produce insulin 2. insulin acts on liver to cause inhibition of hepatic glucose production and degrade 50-90% of insulin 3. Insulin that survives liver degradation will increase glucose utilization of skeletal muscle and fat
What happens when there's no inuslin?
Then the liver can't inhibit hepatic glucose production and glucose production will continue. Since no insulin, muslce/fat can't utilize it resulting in hyperglycemia
4 regulatory mechanisms that protect against hypoglycemia
As glucose levels decrease, these will increase: 1. Glucagon 2. EPI 3. Cortisol 4. GH
How does alpha cell regulate insulin secretion?
As insulin decrease, alpha cell produces glucagon to act on liver to increase glu production
How does adrenal medulla regulate insulin secretion?
As insulin decrease, sympathetic nervous system kicks in and adrenal medulla produces EPI to act on liver to increase glu production
How does adrenal cortex regulate insulin secretion?
As insulin decrease, adrenal cortex produces cortisol to act on liver to increase glu production
How does pituitary regulate insulin secretion?
As insulin decrease, pituitary produces GH to decrease the rate of glucose utilization
Difference between DMI & DMII: Age of onset
DM1: <30 ; DM2: >40 (but lower now)
Difference between DMI & DMII: Body weight
DM1: nonobese ; DM2: obese
Difference between DMI & DMII: Genetics % for identical twins
DM1: 40-50% ; DM2: 95-100%
Difference between DMI & DMII: Ketoacidosis
DM1: susceptible ; DM2: rare
Difference between DMI & DMII: Chronic Complications
DM1: neuropathy, retinopathy, nephorpathy, PVD, cornary heart disease; DM2: Same as DM1
Difference between DMI & DMII: Causes
DM1: autoimmune destruction of beta cells/complete loss of islet B-cells; DM2: insufficient glucose-induced insulin secretion and/or pheripheral insulin resistance
Difference between DMI & DMII: Circulating Insulin and C-peptide levels
DM1: none or little circulating insulin/C-peptide; DM2: have circualting insulin/C-peptide
Difference between DMI & DMII: Tx options
DM1: only insulin; DM2: diet, exercise, anti-diabetic agents and insulin
Define metabolic characteristics of diabetic state
It is the over production and under utilization of glucose resulting in hypergycemia
What is lipogenesis?
synthesis of fatty acid and trigs
What is lipolysis?
breakdown of trigs to fatty acids
What happens in lipid metabolism in diabetic state?
Decreased lipogenesis and increased lipolysis leading to hyperlipidemia and ketoacidosis
What happens in protein metabolism?
Diminished protein synthesis and enhanced proteolysis leading to gluconeogenesis and aminoacidemia
How does ketoacidosis occur?
Usually in DM1 caused by large maounts of ketone bodies such as beta-hydroxybutyrate and acetoacetate; May be due to stimulation of lipolysis by glucagon
In ER situations, 2 tx DM ketoacidosis
1. regular insulin IV 2. isotonic saline and KCl
Ketone body affect on blood pH
Decreases pH in blood
What is normal fasting glu level?
80-90mg/dl
Dx of DM fasting plasma glu level
>126mg/dl for 2 occassions
Dx of DM casual plasma glucose level (anytime)
>200mg/dl and with symptoms
Dx of DM oral glucose tolerance test value
>200mg/dl at 2 hrs
What level is IGT (impaired glucose tolerant)
Plasma glu bewtween 140-200mg/dl at 2 hours of OGTT
What does insulin bind to and what does it cause?
Binds to tyrosine insulin receptor causing translocation of GLUT4 transporter in insulin sensitive tissues from internal membrane vesicales to plasma membrane to allow glucose to flow into cell for metabolism and storage
Which insulin pathway stimulates GLUT4 to translocate to plasma membrane?
PI3-kinase
Two ways to stimulate PI3 kinase
Activated directly from insulin receptor or off of IRS (insulin receptor substrate)
Short and long term goals of DM?
Short=relieve and prevent hyperglycemia and ketoacidosis; Long=prevent long term complications associated w/heart, kidney, eye and nervous system
For non-diabetics, what is the A1C goal vs a diabetic
Non-diabetic=5.5%; Diabetic<7.0%
In diabetics, what is the goal for preprandial blood glu?
70-130mg/dl
In diabetics, what is the goal for postprandial blood glu?
<180mg/dl
What effect does exercise have on insulin?
Exercise lowers insulin requirements
T/F-Conventional insulin therapy for DM1 may provide better glycemic control than intensive insulin therapy (multiple daily regimen)
False, intensive therapy better
T/F-Diet and exercise alone in some cases is adequate to control DM2 without any drugs
TRUE
4 types of oral hypoglycemic agents
1. sulfonylureas 2. biguanides 3. thiazolidinediones 4. alpha-glucosidase inhibitors
Which is first line therapy for DM2: Oral or insulin
Oral; insulin only for pts failing in other therapies
2 types of DM2 therapy for pregant women
1. insulin 2. sulfonylureas
How does regular insulin formulation come and how to get it absorbed?
As hexamers complexed with Zn and must dissociate to monomer in skin in order for it to be absorbed into blood
For regular insulin: 1. when do monmers enter blood 2. when is their peak absorption 3. duration of action
1. enter blood 30-60 min after injection 2. peak absorption at 2-3 hours after injection 3. duration 8-10 hrs
