Pancreatic Hormones & antidiabetic drugs-DONE Flashcards
hyperglycemic factor that mobilized glycogen
glucagon
involved in storage and anabolic hormone of the body
insulin
modulates appetite, gastric emptying, insulin, and glucagon secretion
amylin
stimulates gastric acid secretion
gastrin
universal inhibitor of secretory cells
somatostatin
facilitates digestive processes
pancreatic peptide
proinsulin = _____
A & B chains linked by C-peptide
what is synthesized and stored in B-cells of pancreas?
insulin
describe the release of insulin
it has a slow basal release of 5-15 uU/ml but rapid release of 60-90 uU/ml upon stimulation
What are some stimulants of insulin?
- glucose and other sugars
- amino acids
- glucagon-like peptide
- glucagon
- cholecystokinin
- vagal nerve stimulation
What are the inhibitors or insulin?
- somatostatin
- leptin
- chronically elevated glucose or amino acid levels
Almost all tissues have insulin receptors but primary tissues are…
liver, adipose, and skeletal muscle
What are the physiological and signaling effects of insulin at the liver?
inhibits glucose production (gluconeogensis and glyogenolysis), promotes glucose storage
What are the signaling and physiological effects of insulin at the muscle?
increase glucose uptake
What is the signaling and physiological effects of insulin in adipose?
increase TG storage and glucose uptake
Which insulin receptor regulation insulin release from b-cells?
GLUT2
Which receptor is involved with insulin stimulated glucose uptake in glucose disposing tissue?
GLUT4
Which type of diabetes mellitus is due to autoimmune dysfunction where B-cells are destroyed?
T1DM
Witch T1DM what can you expect the levels of insulin and glucose to be in the blood?
hyperglycemia (>126 mg/dL fasting)
hypoinsulinemia
90-95% of cases of DM involves which type?
T2DM
T2DM is highly associated with ______.
obesity and dyslipidemia
T/F: With T2DM, exogenous insulin may or may not be required depending on degree of resistance and effect of sensitizers.
TRUE
What lifestyle changes are often beneficial with treating T2DM?
dietary intervention and exercise
hyperglycemia during pregnancy with NO prior history = _____.
gestational diabetes
What induces insulin resistance in gestational diabetes?
placenta and placental hormones
What is the most common complication of insulin therapy?
hypoglycemia
_____ develops in people with frequent hypoglycemic episodes.
hypoglycemic unawareness (normal symptoms of hypoglycemia are absent)
How is hypoglycemia treated?
with oral or IV glucose
What causes immune insulin resistance?
Anti-insulin IgG antibodies neutralize insulin
What is the first line of therapy for T2DM?
Biguanides (Metformin)
What is the primary MOA of Metformin (Glucophage)?
it decreases hepatic glucose production by activating AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)
What are the secondary effects of Metformin (Glucophage)?
increases insulin sensitivity in the skeletal muscle, decrease renal gluconeogensis, slow glucose absorption from GI, and reduces plasma glucagon
T/F: Metformin depends on functioning beta cells
FALSE (does NOT)
Does metformin (Glucophage) cause hypoglycemia?
NO!! pts are euglycemic
What are the adverse effects of Metformin (Glucophage)?
N/V/D, anorexia, lactic acidosis, decreased B12 absorption
Sulfonylureas = ____
insulin secreatogues
What is the MOA of sulfonylureas?
binds to ATP sensitive inward rectifier K+ channel in B-cells blocking K+ efflux, depolarizing cell, Ca 2+ influx, insulin secretion
Major adverse effect of sulfonylureas = ___.
hypolgycemia
T/F: Weight gain secondary to increased adipose insulin sensitivity occurs with sulfonylureas.
TRUE
What is the major differences between the two generations of sulfonylureas?
potency and adverse effects (2nd generation is more potent with less adverse effects)
What are the three second generation sulfonylureas?
- glyburide
- glipizide
- glimepiride
A 45 yr old WM present with obesity, polyuria, polydipsia, and hyperglycemia. You decide to place him on a sulfonylurea but you notice it is stated in his record that he has renal insufficiency. Which sulfonylurea is best for this patient?
Glimepiride
What are the principal types of injected insulin?
rapid acting
short acting
intermediate acting
long acting
Which type of injectable insulin is used for physiologic prandial replacement?
rapid acting
What was the first monomeric insulin analog marketed?
Humalog (insulin Lispro)
Which type of injectable insulin has a 30 min onset and makes a SQ depot with three rates of absorption because hexamers must be diluted with ECF?
Short acting insulin
When must short acting injectable insulins be administered?
30-45 min. before meals
