Final Exam - Individual Flashcards
rapid and short-acting, mimics spikes of physiologic secretion insulin after eating
bolus insulin
intermediate/long-acting, mimics normal pancreatic insulin secretion with constant levels, suppresses glucose production in the fasting and post-absorptive period
basal insulin
mixture of short-acting and intermediate/long-acting insulin derivatives
combination therapy
insulin - target
insulin receptor agonist
insulin - biochemical, physiological, stage/type
activates the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase - activates PI3K/Akt enzyme cascade
movement of GLUT4 transporters to surface of cell - uptake of glucose from systemic circulation into cells
stage 3 type 2 DM
insulin - adverse effects
hypoglycemia, lipodystrophy
insulin - interactions
none serious
glipizide, glimepiride, glyburide - class
2nd generation sulfonylureas
glipizide, glimepiride, glyburide - target
inhibition of the K+ channel in beta cells
glipizide, glimepiride, glyburide - biochemical, physiological, stage/type
mimics rise in intracellular ATP - causes beta cell depolarization
depolarization results in migration of insulin granules to cell surface and release of insulin into systemic circulation
stage 2 type 2
glipizide, glimepiride, glyburide - adverse effects
hypoglycemia, cardiovascular (myocardial damage/infarction)
glipizide, glimepiride, glyburide - interactions
none serious
metformin - target
activation of AMPK
metformin - biochemical, physiological, stage/type
initiation of insulin-independent migration of glucose transporters to cell surface
movement of GLUT4 transporters to surface of cell - uptake of glucose from systemic circulation into cells
stage 1/2 type 2 (doesn’t rely on insulin receptors or beta cells to work)
metformin - adverse effects
hypoglycemia, lactic/ketoacidosis, cardiovascular (tachycardia)
metformin - interactions
contrast agents induce ketoacidosis, substrate and inhibitor for the P-gp membrane efflux protein
pioglitazone, rosiglitazone - class
thiazolidinediones
pioglitazone, rosiglitazone - target
peroxisome proliferation activating receptor gamma (PPAR gamma) agonists
pioglitazone, rosiglitazone - biochemical, physiological, stage/type
increased expression of genes under the control of the PPAR gamma receptor
an increase in glucose uptake and fatty acid oxidation/metabolism
stage 2 type 2
pioglitazone, rosiglitazone - adverse effects
cardiovascular (congestive heart failure, myocardial ischemia), increased percent of bone fractures in women, hepatotoxicity, hematological (anemia)
pioglitazone, rosiglitazone - interactions
none serious
semaglutide, exenatide, liraglutide - class
GLP-1 agonists
semaglutide, exenatide, liraglutide - target
agonist for the glucagon-like peptide receptor
semaglutide, exenatide, liraglutide - biochemical, physiological, stage/type
stimulation of the GLP receptor and subsequent activation of the cellular enzyme cascade
stimulates insulin secretion, inhibits glucagon release, delays gastric emptying, decreases appetite
stage 2 type 2
