Q

After fasting what happens in the liver

A
glucagon enters 
proteolysis -- aa -- glucose 
maintain HGO
inhibited by glucose 
gluconeogenesis - gluconeogenic AA - pyruvate and lactate

Q

describe the action of insulin after a meal

A

insulin stimulate break down of triglyceride by lipoprotein lipase in the blood vessel
nonesterified fatty acid and glycerol enter adipocyte
glucose enter through glut 4 -break into 2C segments - NEFA and glycerol enters normally and some is made from glucose
insulin then encourages the formation of triglycerides in the adipose cell

Q

describe the circulation in the blood

A

circles through omental circulation to gut and liver to pick up nutrients before entering systemic circulation.
adipocytes different in central circulation to in arms and legs - able to change met more, met and endo more active - predict ischemic heart disease - large stomach

13
Q

describe hepatic gluconeogenesis

A

glycerol enter liver
phosphorylated – glycerol 3p – glucose
maintain HGO
glycerol 3 p can also make TG
NEFA enter TCA so can’t be used to make glucose `

Q

what happens when NFEA enters body after fasting

A

shuttle on mt membrane – fatty acyl CoA make ketone bodies: acetoacetate and acetone + 3 OH-B
leave liver
sign of insulin deficiency because insulin stop ketone body production
if ketone bodies present with glucose - no insulin (T1DM)

16
Q

describe hepatic glycogenolysis

A

glucose enter liver - phosphorylated glucose-6-p
insulin encourage to glycogen
Cats and glucagon encourage glycogenolysis forming glucose-6-p – glucose – increase HGO

17
Q

what happens when glucose enters the muscle

A

enter through glut 4
inhibited by GH, cats and cort
stored as glycogen
muscle can’t release glucose - stay in muscle and enter TCA for energy in muscle

18
Q

what happens in the fasted state

A

increased: proteolysis, lipolysis, HGO from glycogen and gluconeogenesis (from glycerol and AA - continually release glucose), muscle use lipids, brain use glucose then ketones, ketogenesis when prolonged, [NEFA]
low insulin to glucagon ratio, [glucose]=3-5.5mmol/l
decreased [AA] when prolonged

19
Q

what happens in the fed state

A

stop HGO (no need)
increase glycogen store, protein synth, lipogenesis
decrease the opposites
stored insulin release then 2nd phase high [insulin] to [glucagon] ratio

20
Q

link obesity to T2DM

A

insulin injections don’t work

obesity - 1 of many factors but not necessarily the cause of diabetes

21
Q

what is the presentation of T1DM

A
absolute insulin deficiency 
high HGO 
glucose and ketones in  urine
loss of muscle - proteolysis and fat 
hyperglycaemia 
glycosuria with osmotic symptoms 
ketouria
22
Q

describe insulin induced hypoglycaemia

A

glucose enters muscle
eventually glucagon, cat, cort and GH increase HGO - imporove without intervention but may have accident in time
family can give intramuscular glucagon - better before paramedics turn up

23
Q

describe insulin resistance

A

affects intermediary metabolism
reside in muscle, liver and adipose - all 3
enough insulin to suppress ketogenesis and proteolysis - don’t lose weight and no inappropriate ketone production

24
Q

Insulin receptor and mitogenic

A

Insulin receptor MAPK pathway - growth and proliferation in utero and Children
high Bp and dyslipidaemia in adults

25
Insulin receptor metabolic actions
IRS - insulin receptor substrates PI3K-Akt pathway Insulin resistance resides in this pathway metabolic actions on glucose fat and AA Functioning pancreas - insulin conc increases, glucose normal - don’t have diabetes - stimulate mitogenic pathway so people have High Bp and Abnormal lipid carriage lead to ischaemic heart disease some therapeutic medications
26
describe insulin action in insulin resistance
glucose protein and lipid normal hyperinsulinaemic effect on mitogenic growth - excess stimulation of lipoproteins (less HDL - good cholesterol) abnormal lipoproteins - damage of arteries , smooth muscle hypertrophy - high Bp, ovarian function - polycystic ovarian syndrome, clotting, energy expenditure 2 major contributors to ischaemic heart disease - hypertension and lipoproteins
27
what does insulin resistance cause - intermediary metabolism
high TG low HDL high fasting glucose >6mmol/l high waist circumference hypertension Bp >135/80 adipocytokines, inflammatory state, energy expenditure - used as a therapeutic target might not have all of these in a person with diabetes
28
presentation of T2DM
insulin resistance 60-80% people obese at presentation - central adiposity dyslipidaemia - abnormal carriage of lipid in circulation, more subtle feature of IR at presentation later insulin deficiency hyperglycaemia less osmotic symptoms with complications
29
management of DM
control: total calories, calories as fat, refined carb (more for T1 - match to insulin), increase calories as complex carbs - longer to absorb, increase soluble fibre, decrease sodium
