Pituitary Gland Pathology Dr. Singh Flashcards
- Alpha cells
- Beta cells
- Delta cells
- Acinar cells + duct cells
- PP cells
- D1 cells
- Alpha cells = glucagon
- Beta cells = Insulin
- Delta cells = Somatostatin
- Acinar cells + duct cells = Exocrine pancreas
- PP cells = Pancreatic polypeptides
- D1 cells = VIP (Vasoacive GI polypeptide)
Insulin given exogenously and insulin made by body have what difference
Insulin made by body has C-peptide on it
Insulin main purpose
Give cells food and glucose it needs
What happens when you eat food that causes insulin to be secreted
- Oral glucose = RELEASE INCRETINS ( GLP1 + GIP)
- GIP And GLP1 release insulin + inhibit glucagon = lowering Blood glucose
- DPP-4 inactivated Incretins
- T1D
2. T2D
- T-cell autoimmune attacking Beta- cells, inflammation , circulating auto-ABs
- Insulin resistance , amyloid deposition
When do you show T1D sx
When 90% or more of islets are destroyed (T-cells attack islets beta cells and ones they have been insulted ones then causes autoimmune phenomena)
T1D stage 1, 2, 3
- Autoimmunity, AB there, no functional problems, to sx
- Autoimmunity + Dyglycemia (how glucose) no SX
- Autoimmunity + hyperglycemia + SX
Major cause of T2D and reason for this
OBESITY
1. Adipokines = accumulate depending on how much adipose , disrupt intracellular pathway enabling insulin uptake
2. FFAs
3. Inflammation = damage Beta cells
(Initially beta cells increase insulin compensation = no sx, when beta cells cant keep up anymore you get DM)
T2D must have 1 thing to be DM
Beta cell exhaustion causing Beta Cell Dysfunction
Maturity Onset DM of the Young (MODY)
- What
- SX
- Genetic
- Hybrid between T1D and T2D and usually earlier presentation
- T2D clinical sx however in young pts, INSULIN can be high low normal, NO Abs, NO ketogenic
- MODY mutation = loss of glucokinase (what lets glucose enter Beta cells to let them know to secrete insulin)
DM and pregnancy, Gestational DM
- Can happen from
- Risks
- Hormones and stress that gives SM clinical symptoms
2. Macrosomic, congenital malformations, Neonatal hypoglycemia* —> Seizures —> Brain damage
T1D and T2D SX usually seen
- T1D : TRIAD : Polyphagia, Polyuria, Polydipsia (4 Ts, Toilet, Thirsty, Tired, Thinner)
+ severe Diabetic Ketoacidosis DKA - T2D : fatigue, vision changes
T1D DX
- Auto-ABs seen more in Caucasian only
- HLA on Chr 6
- Thin emancipated child
DKA TRIAD
- Hyperglycemia
- Ketonemia
- Metabolic Acidosis
= initial presentation in 20% - 40% T1D
DKA can be seen when in T1D
- Non-compliance
- Pneumonia
- UTI
(Illness, infection = releases epinephrine which causes glucose to be released and kept in blood, insulin deficiency causes FFAs release causing ketones in kidney = dumping ketones + glucose + water = dehydration and shock = more epinephrine released (osmotic diuretics shock)
