Darrow DM Flashcards
What is metabolic syndrome
2 physical findings: waist circumference >40 inches men >35 in women apple shape 3 labs: HTN: >130/85 TG: >150 HDL-C 100
what does adipose tissue secrete
inflammatory and immune mediators “adipokines”
specific mediators secreted by adipose tissue
leptin, adiponectin, resistin, visfatin, TNF alpha, IL-6, thrombospondin, plasminogen activator 1
what does adipose tissue look like in obesity and insuline R
many macrophages, tissue secretes high levels adipokines and low levels adiponectin
why are thiazolinediones used in severe obestiy
decrease insulin R adipocyte differentiation is modified VEGF induced angiogenesis inhibited leptin levels decrease levels of certain IL (IL6) dec antiproliferative action adiponectin levels rise inhibit TSP1 expression
role of TSP1 in adipose tissue
activates TGF-beta which activaes PAI-1 which is procoagulant
what is worse
SQ fat or omental
omental
uric acid levels in metabolic synfrome
hyper
LDL levels in metabolic syndrome
low
plasminogen activator inhibitor levels in metabolic syndrome
high
levels of homocysteine in metabolic syndrome
increased
what is the initial step of tissue damage in DM
hyperglycemia mediated mitochondrial superoxide production
Dx criteria DM II
Random glucose >200 with Sx!
FBS> 126 repeatable
2 hour post meal BS >200 repeatable
HbA1c>6.5% repeatable
what can cause low HbA1c
HbF, hemolytic anemia, acute bleed, Vit C and E
Causes of DM II
genetic
TCF7L2 transcription factor for WNT signlaing for beta cell
environmental: visceral obesity, insulin R
causes of polyuria
CDRIPPED Cortisol escess DM Recovery from renal railure Ions (hyper Ca and hypo K) Parkinsons Psychogenic Polydipsia Enzyme-vasopressinase Drugs: lithium, demeclocycline, methicillin
