Drugs for DM Flashcards
what is the MOA of insulin
binds to insulin receptors on plasma membrane and activates tyrosine kinase which allows for glucose up take into the cells
what are the types of cells that insulin impacts
1) Muscle
2) liver
3) adipose tissue
how does insulin impact the liver
stimulates: it promotes storage of glucose as glycogen
inhibits: gluconeogenesis thus decreasing glucose output from the liver and decreasing protein catabolism
how does insulin impact the muscle
stimulates: glycogen synthesis using GLUT 4
inhibits: protein catabolism
how does insulin impact the adipose tissue
Stimulates: storage of triglyceride by activating the plasm lipoprotein liase and increasing the glucose uptake through GULT 4
inhibits: intracellular lipolysis
what are the common adverse effects of insulin
- hypoglycemia
- allergic reaction/injection
- lipodystrophy
- seizures and coma
what are fast acting insulin time line
3-5 hours

what is the time line for short acting insulin
7-10 hrs
regular crystalline
short acting insulin
what is the timeline for intermediate acting insulin
16-20 hrs
NPH (isophane)
intermediate acting insulin
Lente (insulin zinc)
intermediate acting insulin
what is the time line for long acting insulin
over 20 hours
