20
Q

ant pit alpha subunit

A

TSH, LH, FSH, hCG

21
Q

ant pic beta subunit

A

determines hormone specificity

22
Q

acidophils

A

prolactin, GH

23
Q

alpha cells

A

glucagon - peripheral

24
Q

beta cells

A

insulin- central

25
delta cells
somatostatin - interspread
26
what is the major regulator of insulin release
glucose
27
insulin release mechanism
glucose --> ATP --> CLOSE K+ channels + depolarize beta cell membrane --> open v-gated Ca+ channels
28
what ultimately stimulates insulin secretion
calcium influx
29
insuline MOA
moves glucose into the cells
30
does insulin cross the placenta?
no
31
insuline-independent glucose uptake
BRICK L - brain, RBC, intestine, cornea, kidney, liver
32
GLUT 1
RBC and brain
33
GLUT 2
bidirectional --> b-islet cell, liver, kidney, SI
34
insulin dependent transporter
GLUT 4
35
where is GLUT 4 located
adipose tissue and skeletal muscle
36
anabolic insulin effects
increase glucose transport in skel muscle and adipose tissue increase glycogen and triglyceride synth/storage increase Na+ retention in kidneys increase protein synth in muscle incrase cellular K+ and aa uptake decrease glucagon release
37
what increases insulin secretion
hyperglycemia, GH and B2 agonists
38
what decreases insulin secretion
hypoglycemia, somatostatin, and alpha-2 agonists
39
insulin dependent organs
resting skel muscle and adipose tissue - depend on insuline to increase glucose uptake by GLUT-4
40
brain metabolism
normal - glucose (GLUT-1) | starvation - ketone bodies
41
RBC metabolism
always depend on glucose (GLUT-1) bc no mitochondria for aerobic metabolism
42
glucagon source
alpha cells of pancreas
43
glucagon function
catabolic glycogenolysis, gluconeogenesis lipolysis and ketone production
44
glucagon regulation
secreted in response to hypoglycemia | inhibited - insulin, hyperglycemia, somatostatin
