Q

what affect does insulin have on vasculature

Q

what happens in the metabolic syndrome when the action of insulin to induce capillary vasodilation is impaired

A

it reduces the transendothexila transport of glucose and insulin into extracellular space of the skeletal muscle

Q

what affects does serine phosphorylation have on the insulin receptor and IRS-1

A

it is a negative modulator of signaling events by decreasing the tyrosine kinase activity of this protein by altering its 3D conformation

Q

what happens when the 3D conformation of tyrosine kinase is altered due to serine phosphorylation

A

it impairs 3D conformation of IRS-1, its ability to act as a docking protein with other signaling elements such as PI3K

Q

how can PKCtheta be positively regulated by FFAs

A

when there is an increase in the delivery of FFAs to the myocyte, PKC isoforms can be activated which then act on the insulin receptor and IRS-1 to increase serine phosphorylation and decrease their functionality

Q

what happens to PKC is dyslipidemic states

A

elevations in plasma FFAs can induce overactivity of PKC making insulin resistance worse by phosphorylating serine

Q

what happens in stress activated serine kinase

A

serine kinases in skeletal muscle cells are activated by interventions that increase cellular stress such as the production of inflammatory factors or oxidative stress factors

Q

what does inhibiting GSK-3Beta do

A

improves insulin stimulated glucose transport and increases tyrosine phosphorylation and decreases serine phosphorylation on IRS-1

17
Q

what does reduced NO delivery to vascular smooth muscle result in

A

vasoconstriction

18
Q

how does vasodilation occur (mechanism)

A

activation of eNOS and synthesis of NO
