17
Q

insulin secretion

A

equal amounts of C-peptide

insulinoma - elevated insulin and C-peptide
exogenous insulin - elevated insulin only

18
Q

sulfonylurea

A

increased insulin secretion

-C-peptide also increased

19
Q

insulin receptor

A

tyrosine kinase

20
Q

GLUT4

A

insulin dependent
-increased expression with insulin stimulation

  • insulin receptor - tyrosine kinase
  • RAS,MAP kinase pathway - growth and DNA synthesis
  • PI3 kinase pathway - GLUT 4 to membrane and glycogen, lipid, protein synthesis

adipose tissue and skeletal muscle

21
Q

GLUT2

A

bidirectional

B-islet, liver, kidney, small intestine

22
Q

insulin release

A

glucose - GLUT2 > increased ATP

  • stimulate closure K channels - depolarization
  • voltage gated Ca open
  • Ca into cell - exocytosis insulin granules
23
Q

GLUT1

A

RBC, brain, cornea

24
Q

GLUT3

A

brain

25
Q

GLUT5

A

fructose

-spermatocyte, GI tract

26
Q

brain energy

A

glucose normally

ketone bodies - starvation

27
Q

glucagon release

A

a cells of pancreas
-catabolic - glycogenolysis, gluconeogenesis, lipolysis

inhibited by insulin, hyperglycemia, somatostatin

28
Q

dopamine feedback

A

inhibit PRL secretion

29
Q

tesamorelin

A

GHRH analog
-increase HG

tx HIG associated lipodystrophy

30
Q

GnRH feecback

A

PRL inhibit secretion

31
Q

somatostatin

A

inhibit GH and TSH

32
Q

TRH

A

increased TSH and PRL

33
Q

CRH

A

stimulate ACTH, MSH, and B-endorphin release

34
Q

excess PRL

A

inhibit GnRH

35
Q

PRL release

A

inhibited by dopamine

dopamine release stimulated by PRL
-so PRL inhibits own release through PRL

36
Q

antipsychotics

A

dopamine antagonists

-stimulate PRL secretion

37
Q

bromocriptine

A

DA agonist

-inhibit PRL secretion

38
Q

somatotropin

A

GH

stimulate growth - through IGF-1 (somatomedin C)

also - increased insulin release

39
Q

GH release

A

in pulses
-response to GHRH

inhibited by glucose and somatostatin

40
Q

ghrelin

A

stimulate hunger and GH release

increased with sleep loss and prader willi

41
Q

leptin

A

satiety hormone
-from adipose

decreased during starvation

mutation - conbenital obesity

decreased leptin with lack of sleep

42
Q

endocannabinoids

A

stimulate cortical reward center

-desire high fat food
