Q

what is the mechanism of action for NPH insulin?

A
  • exogenous insulin that functions as a substitute for the endogenous hormone

lowers blood glucose by:
- stimulating glucose uptake in the skeletal muscle and fat
- inhibiting hepatic glucose production
- inhibition of lipolysis and proteolysis
- enhanced protein synthesis

Q

what is the mechanism of action for glucagon?

A

1) activates hepatic glucagon receptors which promotes glycogen breakdown in the liver
* releases glucose and increases blood glucose within minutes

2) relaxes smooth muscles in the gastrointestinal tract (temporarily inhibits peristalsis)
