Pancreas Flashcards
pancreas secretions
insulin
glucagon
somatostatin
pancreatic polypeptide
beta cells
insulin
alpha cells
glucagon
delta cells
somatostatin
remaining cells
pancreatic polypeptide
insulin structure
peptide hormone
A and B chains linked two disulfide bonds
C peptide
secreted with insulin
-good marker of insulin secretion from beta cells
insulin action
up-regulates GLUT-4 transporters
-muscle and adipose tissue
promotes formation of glycogen in liver and muscle
inhibits glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis
decreased FA and ketoacid concentration in blood
stimulates fat deposition and inhibits lipolysis
promotes K uptake into cells
GLUT 2
low affinity
- pancreatic beta cells
- ilver
- intestine
- kidney
GLUT 1 and 3
allow glucose to go to brain
GLUT 4
skeletal muscle and adipose
insulin-responsive
insulin and potasslum
promotes movement of potassium into cells
high insulin:glucagon
anabolic state
low insulin:glucagon
catabolic state
insulin deficiency
leads to ketosis
oral vs. IV glucose
oral more powerful
-bc GIP release increases effect of insulin
