DM and hypoglycemia darrow Flashcards
skin issues in DM
diabetic dermopathy finer peples acanthrosis nigricans bullous diabeticorum vitiligo
metabolic syndrome
waist circumference >40" men >35" women TGs >150 HDL 130/85 glucose >100 apple or Tasmanian devil shape
what are the mediators of metabolic syndrome?
leptin abnormal adiponectin resistin visfatin TNF-alpha IL-6 thrombospondin plasminogen activator-1
TSP1
expressed by adipose tissue -> activates TGF-beta -> activated PAI-1 which is procoagulant
TPS1 is inhibited PPARy agonists (TZDs)
lean people adipose tissue
few macros
secretes high levels of adiponectin
low levels of inflammatory cytokines
obese people adipose tissue
lots of macros
tissue secretes high levels of many adipokines and low levels of adiponectin
is omental or sub-Q fat healthier
sub-Q
what happens to uric acid levels in metabolic syndrome
increased
what type of cholesterol is increased in metabolic syndrome
small dense LDLs
what happens to plasminogen activator levels in metabolic syndrome?
increased
this is bad b/c increases coagulation
what happens to platelet aggregation in metabolic syndrome
increased
what happens to homocysteine levels in metabolic syndrome?
increased
what is the initial step in both micro and macrovascular damage
tissue damage by hyperglycemia-mediated mitochrondrial superoxide production
Criteria to Dx DM
random glucose >200 with symptoms
FBS >126
2 hour post meal >=200 (2x)
HbA1C>=6.5% (2x)
what TF is associated with type II
TCF7L2
part of WNT pathway which activates frizzled which controls beta cell development and fnx
what ion imbalances can cause polyuria
hypercalcemia
hypokalemia
both of these affect distal tubule
Abs in DMI
zinc transporter Abs glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 (GAD65) Abs insulin Abs tyrosine phosphatase Abs islet cell Abs insulinoma-associated Abs
what HLA is associated with DMI
HLA-DR3
