Diabetes Class Mechanisms Flashcards
1
Q
Insulin
A
Binds insulin receptor, increase glucose uptake
2
Q
Biguanides
A
Decrease gluconeogenesis
Increase glycolysis
Increase glucose uptake
3
Q
Sulfonylureas
A
- Close K channel in beta cell membrane
- Depolarize cell
- Release insulin by increased Ca influx
4
Q
Glitazone/Thiazolidinediones
A
Increase insulin sensitivity in peripheral tissue via PPAR-gamma transcription regulator
5
Q
GLP-1 analogs
A
Increase insulin
Decrease glucagon
6
Q
DPP-4 inhibitors
A
Increase insulin
Decrease glucagon
7
Q
Amylin analogs
A
Decrease gastric emptying
Decrease glucagon
8
Q
SGLT-2 inhibitors
A
Blocks glucose reabsorption in PCT
9
Q
Alpha glucosidase inhibtors
A
Inhibit intestinal brush-border alpha-glucosidases, decreasing glucose absorption
10
Q
Metglitinides
A
Increase insulin
Decrease glucagon
