Q

How do a-gluconidase inhibitors decrease absorption of carbohydrates from the intestine

A

gluconidase cleaves disaccharides to monosaccharides. Monosacharides are easily aborbed by the body. a-gluconidase inhibitor inhibits this cleavage.

Q

How do the two a-gluconidase inhibitors work?

A

They both bind the active site of the gluconidase but migitol is absorbed so has no liver toxicity. Acarbose may cause liver damage

25
mechanism of how FFA causes insulin resistance
FFA is elevated and is uptaken into tissue They activate a kinase called MTOR. (mTOR is the key sensor of nutreint level) mTOR phosphorylates P7056K p7056K phosphorylates IRS protein. phosphorylates not on tyrosines, but on serines, which leads to resistance
26
quick summary of how elevated FFA can stimulate insulin resistance
activation of MTOR phosphorylation of IRS proteins that interefere with normal function
27
increased cytokines can do what?
activate a number of kinases
28
What are some kinases activated by cytokines
PKC, JNK, NFKB
29
What do kinases do after activation by cytokines
Phosphorylate both insulin receptor and IRS protein
30
What does phosphorylation of IRS by kinases do?
recruits PI3k
31
WHat does PI3K do after phosphorylation of IRS
phosphorylates PIP2 to PIP3
32
What does PIP3 do?
Activates AKT
33
What does AKT do?
allows rapid translocation of GLUT-4 to plasma membrane
34
summarize how cytokines affect IRS protein
Cytokines activate kinases Kinases phosphorylate both insulin receptor and IRS protein phosphorylation or IRS causes recruitment of PI3K P13K phosphorylates PIP2 to PIP3 PIP3 activates AKT AKT allows rapid translocation of GLUT-4 to pm
35
What happens when serine phosphorylation inhibits IRS signalling
It interferes with the recruitment of the catalytic subunit (P110), reducing PIP3 accumulation, this interferes with AKT activation.
36
T/F serine phosphorylation of insulin receptor leads to insulin resistance
True
37
P110 vs P13K
P110 is catalytic P13K is regulatory
38
Is there an increase in inflammatory cytokines in obesity? WHy?
Yes. There is a hypertrophy of adipose tissue and infiltration of M1 macrophages that lead to an increase in inflammatory cytokines. (TNFa)
39
Who has M1 macrophages? Who has M2 macrophages? What is the difference between the two?
M2 macrophages are in non-obese people M1 macrophages are in obese people M2- secrete IL-10 which maintain insulin snsitivity M1- lead to inflammatory cytokines
40
Which two drugs can address insulin resistance, without stimulating insulin secretion
Metformin Thiazoldindiones
41
What are the pros of metfromin compared to sulfonylureas
Pros- no hypoglycemia, no weight gain, independent of B cells
42
MOA of metformin
Activates AMP-kinase, increases efficiency or sensitivity to insulin in liver, fat and muscle cells
42
What does metformin bind?
Complex I
43
What does metformin do to liver?
Stops export of glucose from liver
43
How does metformin stop the export of glucose from the liver
-Metformin binds to complex I and inhibits it. -This lowers energy availability (ADP:ATP and AMP:ATP ratios rise) -Inhibition of ATP leads to rise in AMP -Increased AMP inhibits fructose-6-bisphosphate which is required for gluconeogenesis
44
summary of how metformin works in liver
inhibits gluconeogenesis in liver by inhibiting fructose-1,6- Bisphosphate
45
How does metformin affect skeletal muscle
Accumulation of AMP leads to increase in translocation of GLUT-4 to plasma membrane and increased uptake of glucose into skeletal muscle
46
How does metformin cause increased uptake of GLUT-4
AMP accumulates activates AMP-K AMP-k phosphorylates a GTP-ase regulator of Rab called TBC1D 1/4 TBC1D 1/4 helps Rab hydrolyze GTP, Rab dissociates and translocation of GLUT-4 occurs
47
why would metformin cause lactic acidosis
Since it inhibits gluconeogenesis. This pathways is important for the removal of lacyic acid
48
most common side effect of metfromin
GI side effects (N, V, D) also decreases B12 absorption
49
Metformin effect on blood lipid profile
decreases serum triglycerides Decreases serum LDL decreases risk of adverse CV events
50
What do thiazoliedindiones do?
Decrease insulin resistance
51
target of thiazoldindiones
PPAR-g
52
What is PPAR-g? what does it do?
It is a transcription factor that enhances adipocyte differentiation
53
how does PPAR-g affect FFA`
Enhances FFA uptake into subQ, reduces serum FFA.
54
WHat are some thiazoledindione drugs
Rosiglitazone pioglitazone
55
FDA warning for thiazoledindione drugs
Contraindicated in class 3 or 4 HF
56
How do thiazodindiones affect TNF-a, resistin and adiponectin
Lower TNF-a and resistin (adipokines) and raise adiponectin
57
What is adiponectin
stimulates insulin dependent glucose uptake
58
Thiazonedindiones ________FFA levels and ______ adiponectin levels
decrease, stimulate
59
Why is there an increased risk of fracture with thiazonedindiones
They reduce the differentiation of stem cells to osteoblasts
60
What is gestational diabetes? what is it caused by?
Hyperglycemia during pregnancy in non-diabetic women. caused by the normal changes in insulin sensitivity and metabolism furing pregnancy
61
What happens to insulin response in early vs late pregnancy
Early- increased nsulin response late- reduced insulin sensitivity
62
Why is there an increased insulin response in early pregnancy
Placenta is not growing, body becomes insulin sensitive to increase maternal fat storage to help placenta grow
63
Why is there reduced insulin sensitivity in late pregnancy?
Fetus frows and takes all nutrients from mom. Body compensates by increasing insulin secretion
64
When is gestational diabetes diagnosed? how is it diagnosed?
24-28 weeks with OGTT. This is the rapid growth stage of gestation.
65
What are some complications in gestational diabetes
Baby could have hypoglycemia when separate increased risk of developing T2 diabetes in mom and baby
66
Why is there an increased risk of developing T2 diabetes in gestational diabetes babies
Due to the exposure of fetus to high levels of insulin and glucose from gestation (fetal programming)
67
Does insulin cross the placenta? Does glucose cross the placenta?
Insulin does not, but glucose does. That means the baby needs to make its own insulin.
68
placental hormones secreted in gestational DM
CRH-cortisol Progesterone Placental GH Placental lactogens (PL)
69
What are placental lactogens
Placental hormones secreted by placenta that induce peripheral insulin resistance in mother
70
why is GDM predictive of T2 diabetes
Because of the inability of mothers pancrease to compensate for resistance by increasing B cell acitivity
71
what are hormones secreted during pregnancy that increase B cell mass
Prolactin and placental lactogen
72
What does prolactin do?
Stimulates B cell proliferation mutations i prolactin receptor are associated with GDM
73
What does placental lactogen do
Is similar to GH, activates prolactin
74
Compare the different treatments of GDM
Insulin- gold standard, does not cross placenta, disadvanatge is that it can cause stress Glyburide- adv- oral, disadvantage, crosses placenta Metformin- disadvantage- crosses placenta but does not seem to harm it. TZD not used- teratogenic
75
metformin target
complex I
76
Cellular effect of metfromin
Elevates CAMP and activates AMPk
77
Metformin effect on liver
Reduced glucose export due to inhibition of gluconeogenesis
