Q

Hypofunction etiology

A
  • dietary deficiency

Q

Hyperfunction etiology

A
  • excessive trophic stimulation
  • defect in negative feedback loop leads to no suppression
  • Secretory tumor ( tumor cells will be same so have same secretion)

26
Q

Type 1 etiology (genes) & others

A
  • MHC genes on chromosome 6 (40%)
  • Insulin gene on chromosome 11 (10%) -function division of beta cells
  • T cell hypersensitivity to Beta cell antigen
  • familial risk (increase x10)
27
Q

Type 2 is Mo

A

mature happens later in life

28
Q

MODY

A

maturing onset diabetes in young -this is a growing condition

29
Q

Type 2 etiology

A

-50 % due to glucokinase gene on chr 7

30
Q

Glucokinase

A

adds phosphate to glucose catalyze by enzyme glucokinase. therefore glucose cannot stay in cell and moves out

31
Q

Prediabetes

A

metabolic stage before onset of DM

32
Q

prediabetes has an imparied

A
  • impaired fasting glucose
  • Abnormal oral glucose tolerance test
  • increase
33
Q

several characteristics of Metabolic syndrome

A
  • abdominal obesity w > 88 m >102
  • HTN
  • hyperlipidemia (increase LDL, Low HDL, High triglycerides)
  • impaired fasting glucose
  • Impaired glucose tolerance
  • Insulin resistance (insulin present but can’t do job)
34
Q

insulin resistance

A

absence of hypoglycemic response to hyperglycemia in the presence of insulin

35
Q

Type 1 diabetes is a progressive autoimmune destruction of

A

beta cells up to 90 % of cells are destroyed

36
Q

type 2 diabetes beta cells

A

intact, but dysfunctional no autoimmunity

37
Q

Type 2 diabetes, relative insulin deficiency from:

A
  • Insulin resistance
  • Deranged secretion (may have less secretion than needed)
  • Defective target cell response
  • hepatic glucogenis
38
Q

Type 2 diabetes has has ____, _____ or _____ in insulin levels

A

normal, increase or decrease

39
Q

need insulin to move _____ into cells

A

glucose

40
Q

Patho of Type 1 & Type 2 Diabetes

A
  • insulin deficiency
  • impaired glucose utilization & increase in hepatic gluconeogenesis
  • Hyperglycemia (11-67mmol/L)

  • polyuria
  • dehydration
