  3. Increases beta cell proliferation
  4. Increases beta cell differentiation
  5. Decreases beta cell apoptosis
22
Q

What stimulates normal incretin secretion?

A

Food intake. Diminished secretion occurs in DM, but the response to incretin is preserved.

23
Q

In diabetes, insulin has decreased production, leading to _____ hepatic glucose production and _____ glucose uptake by muscles.

A

In diabetes, insulin has decreased production, leading to increased hepatic glucose production and decreased glucose uptake by muscles.

24
Q

Decreased muscular uptake of glucose leads to _____.

A

Decreased muscular uptake of glucose leads to insulin resistance.

25
Q

High serum glucose leads to renal excretory overload which causes _____.

A

High serum glucose leads to renal excretory overload which causes glucosuria.

26
Q

High serum glucose leads to osmotic diuresis and dehydration which causes _____.

A

High serum glucose leads to osmotic diuresis and dehydration which causes decreased cerebral blood flow.

27
Q

Increased lipolysis in adipose tissue leads to _____ synthesized by the liver, resulting in acidosis.

A

Increased lipolysis in adipose tissue leads to increased ketones synthesized by the liver, resulting in acidosis.

28
Q

What is insulitis?

A
  • Direct destruction of beta cells by virus or toxin → exposure of antigens to immune system.

or

  • Release of destructive cytokines that kill beta cells.

or

  • Programmed cell death (apoptosis) may be induced.
29
Q

Explain the pathway of islet cell destruction.

A
  • Activated cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CD8+) and macrophages attach to beta cells.
  • Release of cytokines from activated macrophages → cell destruction.
30

Q

It takes time to develop T2. What are the 3 phases?

A
  1. Plasma glucose normal despite insulin resistance because of hyperinsulinemia.
  2. Worsening insulin resistance; postprandial hyperglycemia despite hyperinsulinemia.

42
Q

Impaired beta cell insulin secretion is exacerbated in DMT2 by the fact that _____ is not suppressed in hyperglycemia.

A

Impaired beta cell insulin secretion is exacerbated in DMT2 by the fact that glucagon secretion (by pancreatic alpha cells) is not suppressed in hyperglycemia.

43
Q

Since it takes time to develop T2, at what phase(s) can it still be aborted?

A

It can be aborted in Phases 1 and 2.
