is glycation reversible or non-reversible?

26
common test used to further diagnose diabetes and/or how well it's being managed; aka glycated or glycosylated Hg test
A1c test
27
What is a normal A1c level?
<5.7%
28
What is a prediabetic A1c level?
5.7% - 6.4%
29
What is a diabetic A1c level?
>6.5%
30
Cells sense insulin through:
insulin receptors
31
Insulin binding to its receptor results in the activation of the __________ signaling pathway
PI3K/Akt/mTOR
32
Signaling through the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway may be blunted by high circulating levels of:
free fatty acids
33
In T2D, insulin secretions occur, but its action is blocked by insulin resistance at the tissue/cellular level. Causes of this resistance include:
-mutations/defect signaling in GLUT4 which leads to diminished glucose uptake by fat/muscle cells and less transport of glucose out of the blood
34
What are the complications associated with long tern diabetes?
- diabetic retinopathy - diabetic nephropathy - diabetic neuropathy - stroke - cardiovascular disease - poor wound healing
35
How do periodontal disease and other systemic bacterial and viral infections affect diabetes?
increase insulin resistance by increasing systemic inflammation (also worsen glycemic control)
36
Hyperglycemia associated with Diabetes leads to increased production ___.
AGEs (or advanced glycation end products)
37
___ can bind to receptors on cells and stimulate inflammatory reaction
AGEs
38
Insulin (increases/decreases) lipid storage and (activates/inhibits) lipolysis.
increases | inhibits
39
Insulin binding to the insulin receptor activates ___ which facilitates activation of _____ which leads to generation of PI(3,4,5)P3, second messenger. PI(3,4,5)P3 then activates ___ and ___ which then phosphorylate/activate a number of key targets important for function.
IRS1 PI 3-kinase PDK and AKT
40
The insulin receptor is a _____ ______ receptor.
tyrosine kinase
41
major storage form of energy
glycogen
42
What are the 2 primary organs that store glycogen?
liver and muscle
43
How are T2D screened for pre-diabetes/diabetes?
fasting plasms glucose (after 8 hour fast) every 3 years
44
What are ex. of rapid acting insulin for T1D?
Humalog and Novorapid
45
What are ex. of short acting insulin for T1D?
Humalin and Novolin
46
What are ex. of long acting insulin for T1D?
Lantus, Levemir, Tresiba
47
Control for T1D?
insulin via injection or pumps
48
control for T2D?
diet exercise maintain healthy weight medications
49
inhibitor that block reabsorption of glucose by the kidney
SGLT2
50
Body doesn’t produce insulin
Type 1
51
Body produces insulin but it doesn’t do what’s it’s supposed to do by it’s insulin resistant at receptor or post receptor level
Type 2
52
Which immunoinflammatory responses are increased in diabetes?
TVF-alpha and IL1
53
IL1 is present is:
Gingival crevicular fluid
54
Patients with uncontrolled diabetes are going into have (increased/decreased) IL1 which causes an increase in gingival disease.
Increased
55
Another consequence of diabetes where there is an accumulation of AGEs which bind to receptor on ______ cells and increase production of _______ ______ like IL1 and TNF-alpha.
Inflammatory | Pro inflammatory cytokines
56
When blood sugar is high we want to (lower/increase) FA levels.
Lower
57
Nitric oxide is a (vasodilator/constrictor).
Vasodilator
58
Are implants a solution for perio disease?
No
59
What initiates periodontal disease progresses on?
Plaque
60
Plaque is an overgrowth of Gram __ bacteria that leads to gingival inflammation in susceptible individuals.
Positive
61
Inflammation confined in the gingival unit
Gingivitis
62
Does gingivitis involve supporting bone loss and attachment loss?
No
63
Supporting bone loss and attachment loss
Periodontitis
64
Leading reason of adult tooth loss
Periodontal disease
65
Periodontal disease can lead to:
- adverse pregnancy outcomes - respiratory diseases - cardiovascular disease - stroke - diabetes*
66
Disorder of glucose metabolism
Diabetes mellitus
67
Normal fasting blood sugar test results
<100 mg/dL
68
Diabetes fasting blood sugar test results
>126
69
Is diabetes a risk factor for periodontal disease?
Yes - Increased prevalence and severity of attachment loss - periodontal abscess - impaired wound healing
70
Diabetes-Periodontal Disease Relationship mechanism
1. Oral microbial flora 2. altered host defense 3. Vascular changes 4. Collagen breakdown
71
Which bacteria is found in the oral microbial flora of T1D
Capnocytophaga sp.
72
Which bacteria is found in the oral microbial flora of T2D?
Porphyromonas gingivalis | Similar to non-diabetic patients
73
What are the 2 altered host mechanisms inDM?
- Decreased PMN function (decreased phagocytosis and chemotaxis) - increased glucose in GCF promotes increased AGE
74
What are the vascular changes in the diabetes-periodontal relationship?
- Increased thickness of basement membrane & vessel walls (due to AGEs accumulation) - leading to decreased O2 diffusion and elimination of wastes
75
What is the effect of collagen breakdown in diabetes-periodontal disease relationship?
-altered collagen metabolism (stimulation of collagenase activity) -limited production of growth factors -impaired wound healing and increased severity of periodontitis (Bone and tooth loss)
76
Serve periodontics affect which levels in diabetes?
HbA1C
77
How does hyperglycemia impact bone metabolism?
- reduce bone mineral density and mechanical properties - increase risk of fracture - impair endi Honduran bone formation and intramembranous bone formation and quality
