Lecture 12 Flashcards
complication with diabetes causes
the inability to utilized fats due to the low insulin in their system
insulin is known as the hormone of Glutton
insulin surges quickly when a person is eating even a small meal will promote a significant production/ release of insulin
insulin is a protein that
stimulate the uptake of glucose and store it as glycogen.
insulin as an effect on glycogenesis, what is glycogenesis
glycogenesis is the process of glycogen synthesis
if there is too much glucose insulin promotes
the conversion of glucose to fats in adiposites
insulin can increase the up amino acid that
promotes the synthesis in specific cells
insulin is produced by
the B cells found in the islets of langerhann
——- are converted to smaller protein
Preprohormones(proinsulin)
Preprohormones (proinsulin)
has three chains A, B, and C, A and B are linked by disulfide linkage and are biologically active, these are the insulin made by the pancreas, it is short lived, and it is broken down by the kidneys and liver. The C chain is removed at the Golgi network
The insulin receptor is located
on the outside of the cell membrane
IRS
insulin receptor substrate
IRS promotes
the recruitment of glucose transporters
Glucose transporter ( gluts)
there are 7 different transporters. they are located in vesicles and theses vesicles fuse to the membrane to bring the the glut to te surface of the membrane
the gluts allow glucose to go into the cell via
facilitated diffusion
without GLUTS
the cell membrane would be impermeable to glucose, therefore glucose cannot go into the cell
all cells in the body uses Gluts except
Neurons, glucose can diffuse through the neurons because it is the sole source of energy for neurons
in the muscle glucose is stored as
glycogen
During fasting
because there is no insulin the sarcolemma of the muscle cell does not have gluts to take up glucose in the blood
