1
Is insulin a pancreatic catabolic hormone that promotes nutrient use?
No- anabolic and promotes storage
2
What three things increase pancreas beta cells release of insulin?
1. Vagal innervation
2. GI hormones
3. Glucose, A.A.
3
What are insulins effects on liver?
increase glycogen and trig. synthesis,
inhibits glyogenolysis, glycogenesis and ketogenesis
4
What are insulins effects on muscle?
increase glucose and amino acid uptake. Increase glycogen and protein synthesis.
5
What is insulins effect on adipose tissue?
increase triglyceride storage and inhibits lipolysis
6
What if anabolic reactions can't take place?
anabolic/catabolic balance is disturbed and catabolic prevail
7
The metabolic changes that occur in DM are similar to those that occur during what?
fasting [if you have nothing to eat, you use and eventually deplete your stored nutrients.]
8
What is the etiology of diabetes mellitus?
decrease insulin production or increase in insulin resistance
9
Review epidemiology of diabetes
8% incidence, 20 million people in 2011, $245 billion
10
What percentage are insulin dependent diabetes cases? what are they due to? detection? what age?
1. 5-10%
2. autoimmune destruction of beta cells
3. very low undetectable insulin
4. diagnose before 30
11
What percentage is not insulin dependent? due to what? insulin levels? insulin response? onset age?
1. 90%
2. decreased responsiveness
3. subnormal
4. blunted
5 usually over 40 and overweight
12
What is gestational diabetes due to?
steroid induced insulin resistance- 7% of pregnancies --mostly 3rd trimester
13
What drugs induce DM?
glucocorticoids or growth hormones
14
What are the 4 therapeutic approaches to Type 1 DM?
1. insulin
2. insulin and pramlintide
3. diet
4. exercise
15
What are the 4 therapeutic approaches to Type 2 DM?
1. diet
2. Exercise
3. anti-diabetic drugs individually or in combo
4. insulin
16
What are the 3 things we do for gestational diabetes?
1. diet and exercise
2. insulin. only FDA approved
3. Some oral anti-diabetic drugs (sulfonylureas and biguanides)
17
What are the major complications of diabetes?
end-stage renal disease, heart disease, stroke, hypertension, blindness, peripheral neuropathy
18
What do sulfonylureas meglitides and nateglinide attack>
ATP sensitive K channels in the beta cells
19
What do biguanides do?
reduce hepative gluconeogenesis by inhibiting mitochondrial glycerophosphate dehydrogenase, antagonize the actions of glucagon
20
What do thiazolidinediones act on?
PPARy in muscle, adipose, and liver
21
Incretins or inhibitors of incretin degradation effect what cells?
alpha and beta cells in pancreas
22
amylin analogs affect what cells?
alpha cells and CNS
23
What receptor do we try to affect in the kidney?
inhibitors of sodium glucose co-transporter
24
What does insulin form in concentrated solutions?
dimers and hexamers, but they are absorbed slowly when injected
25
What are the main differences from types of administered insulin?
rate of absorption, onset, and duration of action
26
how can we change rate of absorption?
mutation of amino acid residues, addition of components such as protamine, buffers in insulin
27
What are lispro, aspart, glulisine?
rapid acting insulin
28
What is regular crystalline insulin?
short acting
29
What is NPH??
intermediate acting (slower than regular) insulin
