Q

insulin action

A

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

17
Q

DM I

A

insulin-dependent - destruction of beta cells
increased blood glucose, FA, ketoacids, AA
increased ketoacids
metabolic acidosis (diabetic ketoacidosis)
polyuria
hyperkalemia

18
Q

DM I and polyuria

A

glucose is an osmotic diuretic

19
Q

DM II

A

insulin-independent - associated with obesity
insulin resistance
normal insulin levels, no response
blood glucose elevated fed and fasting states
Tx: caloric restriction, weight reduction, sulfonylurea drugs and biguanide drugs

20
Q

biguanide drugs

A

upregulate receptors for insulin

Tx for type II DM

21
Q

glucagon secretion

A

stimulated by low blood glucose
inhibited by insulin
stimulated by protein ingestion (Arg, Ala)
stimulated by fasting and exercise
stimulated by alpha-adrenergic stimulation

22
Q

action of somatostatin

A

from delta cells
inhibit secretion of insulin and glucagon

modulate response of insulin and glucagon

23
Q

type I DM

A

immune mediated
beta cell destruction

insulin dependent
ketoacidosis**

24
Q

type II DM

A

insulin resistance

overweight, usually no ketoacidosis

25
Q

gestational DM

A

during pregnancy

26
Q

diabeticogenetic effect

A

acromegaly and hypercortisolism

27
Q

family Hx

A

more with type II DM

28
Q

obesity

A

BMI > 30

kg / m~2

29
Q

pre-diabetic

A

fasting 100-126

2 hour oral glucose tolerance 140-200

30
Q

criteria for diabetes Dx

A

fasting
oral glucose tolerance
random glucose
hemoglobin A1c

31
Q

incretin effect

A

oral glucose - stimulates GLP-1
-potentiates insulin release from beta cells

no GLP-1 with IV

32
Q

glucagon and incretins

A

glucagon, GLP-1, GLP-2 from same gene

33
Q

amylin

A

also from beta cells
suppress appetite
inhibit gastric emptying

34
Q

type 2 diabetics

A

reduced incretin effect

can use GLP-1 agonists

35
Q

fruity odor on breath

A

indicative of ketones

36
Q

type 1 DM

A

cell mediated autoimmune
T cell mediated**

predictable with islet autoantibodies

37
Q

pre-diabetes

A

beta cell mass decreases

after autoantibodies present

38
Q

genes associated with type I DM

A

HLA
also INS, PTPN22

insulin in thymus - protective - recognize as self

39
Q

MHC

A
class II - DP DQ DR
class I - B C A
40
Q

major islet autoantigens

A

ZnT8
IA-2
GAA
mIAA

41
Q

diabetic ketoacidosis

A

C peptide of zero

42
Q

common to DM I and DM II

A

nonenzymatic glycosylation of proteins
