Q

What is insulin?

What does it do?

Mech?

A

Central control for metabolism of glc

Protein hormone secreted from B cells of islets of Langerhans (pancreas)

Anabolic hormone-increase storage and uptake of nutrients

Glc and AA, etc.

In absence of insulin we have tissue breakdown into glc

Mech: binds to cell surface receptor + increase glc cell uptake

Muscle and fat cells

Q

Effects of diabetes

A

General

  • Decrease insulin→ decrease glc uptake

Short term

  • Polyuria-increase urine output
    • Due to glc in urine (brings H2O w/ it)
  • Polydipsia-increase thirst
  • Polyphagia-increase appetit

Long term

  • Glycosylation of proteins
  • Altered signal pathways and cell death
  • Cardio dysfunctions
    • Compromised circ→organ death
    • Atherosclerosis
    • Diabetic neuropathy
      • Leading cause of kidney failure
  • Vision changes
    • Diabetic retinopathy–blood vv in eye damaged
    • Ocular edema
    • Glaucoma, cataracts, etc.
  • Peripheral neuropathy-neurons lack energy
  • Infections–bacterial overgrowth b/c glc so available
    • Kidney
    • Bladder

Q

What does crystal size matter w/ regards to insulin?

What is used to increase size?

A

Duration of action proportional to size

Larger crystals=longer to dissolve

Protamine increases size in protamine insulin
