Q

what does estrogen do in bone?

A

31
Q

A

VTE stroke/death

32
Q

what is RANKL in osteoporosis?

A

molecule that blasts use to activate clasts in bone breakdown

33
Q

what is drug that inhibits RANKL in osteoporosis?

A

Denosumab

34
Q

what is SE of denosumab?

A

osteonecrosis of the jaw

35
Q

what is normal role of PTH

A

increase calcium release from bone

36
Q

what is teriparatide and abaloparatide derived from?

A

PTH

37
Q

even though teriparatide and abaloparatide are derived from PTH, what do they actually do?

A

stimulate osteoblasts not clasts in bone

38
Q

what happens to T4 once it enters cells?

A

it is converted into T3

39
Q

what do you give for Rx of primary hypothyroidism?

A

levothyroxine and liothyronine

40
Q

what is levothyroxine an analog of?

A

T4

41
Q

why give T4 and not T3 in hypothyroid?

A

because the cells can still control how much they want since they switch T4 to T3, where if you gave T3 it would go to all tissues

42
Q

what is the drug that inhibits thyroid hormone synthesis?

A

potassium iodide

43
Q

when do you give potassium iodide?

A

hyperthyroidism

44
Q

what is MoA of iodine 131?

A

kills follicular cells of thyroid

45
Q

what drug kills follicular cells of thyroid in Rx of hyperthyroid?

A

iodine 131

46
Q

name the two drugs that inhibit oxidation of iodine in thyroid hormone synthesis

A

propylthiouracile and methimazole

47
Q

propylthiouracile and methimazole prevent what in thyroid?

A

thyroid hormone prdxn by not allowing iodine oxidation

48
Q

when do we use propylthiouracile and methimazole ?

A

in hyperthyroidism

49
Q

which of propylthiouracile and methimazole is teratogenic?

A

methimazole

50
Q

what is major toxicity of propylthiouracile and methimazole?

A

agranulocytosis..neutropenia

51
Q

what does T3 stimulate in the heart?

A

B1 receptors

52
Q

since T3 stims B1 in heart, what can you give in hyperthyroid to help stop this?

A

B blockers…atenolol, propanolol, metoprolol

53
Q

how do you treat type 1 diabetes?

A

just give insulin

54
Q

what is issue in type 2 diabetes?

A

cells arent really responding to insulin

55
Q

explain how beta cells in pancreas monitor the serum glucose and determine when to release insulin

A

high blood glucose lead to high ATP and K+ channel closing, this causes depolarization of beta cell which then causes inward Ca2+ voltage gated channels to open and the Ca2+ initiates insulin vesicle membrane fusion for insulin release

56
Q

what three locations in body respond to insulin?

A

liver

muscle and adipose tissue

57
Q

what type of receptor is the insulin receptor

A

tyrosine kinase

58
Q

what does high glucose cause to happen in kidneys?

A

less reuptake of Na and water so increases urine volume

59
Q

what is tricky about treatment of type1 dm?

A

need to give insulin in high push prior to meals but keep basal level throughout night

60
Q

name the bolus administration type 1 DM insulins

A

aspart
glulisine
lispro
regular insulin

61
Q

name the basal administration type 1 DM insulins

A

NPH and
glargine
detimir

62
Q

what is the most commonly used drug for type II DM?

A

metformine

63
Q

what is MoA of metformin?

A

gluconeogenesis inhibitor

64

increases synthesis of glucose transporters

67
Q

what is drug that increases glucose transporters into liver muscle and adipose tissue?

A

pioglitazone

68
Q

what can you do in GI tract to lower glucose levels?

A

inhibit breakdown of sacccharides into monosaccharides so limit uptake
