Q

what is amylin

A

this is a amyloid polypeptide that is released from beta cells along with insulin and help to inhibit glucagon secretion and delay gastic eating

28
Q

histology of type 1 diabetes

A

insulitis (infiltrate of T cells in the islet)

29
Q

describe the effects of insulin on adipose tissue

striated muscle

liver

A

increase in glucose uptake in striated muscle like the heaty and in adipose tissue

increases protein sythesis increases fat synthesis (lipogenlysis) glcogen synthesis

decreases gluconeogensis in the liver

30
Q

insulin is an _ hormone

A

anabolic

causes complex molecules to form from simpler ones

31
Q

what type of fat is associated with obesity

A

white adipose

brown adipose increases glucose uptake/utilization

32
Q

what are the 3 p’s of diabetes

how do they occur

A

polyuria- glucose in pee, water follows it creating an osmotic diuresis

polydipsia- urine water loss + increased blood glucose depeltes intracellular water and triggers thrist receptors

polyphagia- type 1 and later type 2; no insulin and there is fat/muscle breakdown

33
Q

diabetic ketoacidosis is seen in _ and is severe _ def

A

type 1 diabetes

insulin

34
Q

what causes DKA

what is released? what does this do

A

stress like infection or trauma

epinephrine is release and increased glucagon and blcoks insulin action

35
Q

pathogensis of DKA

A

no insulin causes peripheral glucose to not be utilized

liver breaks down glycogen to create more glucose

fat is broken down to FFA and are metabolized by the liver to form acidotic ketone bodies

ketones and glucose spill into the urine and cause osmotic diuresis causing severe dhydration and ketocidosis

36
Q

symptoms of DKA

A

fatigue, can lead to coma, fruity breath, deep labored breathing

37
Q

what causes the fruity breath in DKA

A

ketone metabolism and acetone formation

38
Q

ketones end up in the urine and a _ test can detect them, confirmatory tests involve checking the urine for?

A

nitroprusside

beta-hydroxyurea

39
Q

what causes kussmal breathing in DKA

A

the body attempts to neutralize the metabolic acidosis by exhaling off CO2

40
Q

what is hyperosmolar nonketotic hyperglycemic syndrome

A

this is a complication of type 2 diabetes especially in the elderly where there is prolonged insulin deficiency

this causes increased hepatic gluconeogenis, and glycogenolysis causing really high glucose

glucose greater than 600
no ketone bodies
and severe dehydration
can cause AMS and coma

41
Q

what is matuirty-onset diabetes of the young (MODY)

what does it resemble

A

this is a monogenic diabetes that affects glucokinase of the beta cell

it resembles T2DM

there are no autoantiboies and is nonketotic

42
Q

what is glucosekinase

A

a rate limiting enxyme in oxidative glucose metabolism that leads to the secretion of insulin

43
Q

during pregnancy early on there is an increase in _ sensitivity that allows for a reservoir of energy supply. Later on _ _ block the effects of insulin and create insulin resistance this is because they want glucose in the blood to be able to cross over to the baby

A

insulin

placental hormones

44
Q

in pregnancy maternal weight gain or underlying risk factors can cause insulin resistance to precipiate a state of?

A

gestational diabetes

45
Q

how does th ebaby appear in a person with gestational diabetes

A

macrosomia

difficult birth (shoulder dystocia_

c section

congenital malformations (still birth)

46
Q

describe the pathogensis of hyperglycemia

A

glucose causes advanced glycation of end products. End products have a vast majority of effects that cause the endothelium to become activated and allow for athersclerosis and vascular damage to occur

47
Q

what other pathways contibute to hyperglycemia effects other than the glycationof end products

A

polyol pathway- loss of antioxidant production

hexosamine pathway- increase in oxidative stress

activation of protein kinase c (PKC) - increases growth factors and procoagulant activity

48
Q

advanced glycation end products produces

A

vascular damage and athersclerosis

49
Q

major complications of diabetes

A

athersclerotic disease (MI, cerebral infacrt, PVD–>gangrene)

retinopathy/ocular

neuropathy/peripheral neuropathy

nephropathy- ateriorsclerosis, pyelonephritis

infections- UTI, dental carries, candida

50
Q

what fungal infection is common in diabetes

A

candida

51
Q

describe the macrovascular athersclerotic disease in diabetes

brain
kidney
bowel
heart
peripherally

A

brain: can cause hemmorage or stroke

kidney: can cause renal artery stenosis and activation of the RAS system

bowel: can cause mesenteric ischemia

heart: chronic heart disease, MI

peripherally: claudication and ganreenoug necrosis

52
Q

diabetic retinopathy and occular pathology is common and causes _ loss and diminished _

it can be divided into proliferative and nonproliferative: what are these

it can also cause _ and _ (end stages)

A

vision

sight

proliferative: formation of new vessels on the retina

non proliferative: anurysems in small vells and microhemorrhage; lipid leak

cataracts and glaucoma

diabetic peripheral neuropathy is in a _ and _ distibution
