25
How many amino acids is Insulin? Where is it secreted from
51 amino acid Beta cells
26
What is Insulin mostly stimulated by?
Glucose levels >100mg/dl
27
How does the SNS affect Insulin secretion? PNS?
Inhibit release (during stress) Promotes
28
How is insulin released in cells?
GLUT 2 take up glucose in Beta Depolarises the cell Release of insulin in granules
29
What are always present on Hepatocytes? Why?
GLUT 2
30
What does insulin cause on hexokinase? What does this allow?
Glucose —> glucose 6 phosphate Concentration gradient formed between inside cell and vasculature
31
What inhibits B oxidation
Insulin
32
Glucagon is secreted from where? Whats its most potent stimuli?
Alpha cells Hypoglycaemia +SNS
33
What hormone inhibits glucagon release? (2)
GLP-1 Insulin
34
<100mg/dl
Glucagon secretion
35
>100mg/dl
Glucagon secretion inhibited
36
What does insulin bind to? What does this then phosphorylate
Tyrosine kinase receptor IRS
37
Whats does phosphorylated IRS do?
Signal transduction cascade GLUT4 move to surface
38
How does glucose move into cells?
Facilitated diffusion GLUT4
39
What two organs are insulin independent
Brain Kidney
40
How much glucose is produced in liver in fasted state
75%
41
During fed state, what dominates
Insulin Net anabolism
42
Hyperglycaemia
Excess glucose in bloodstream Deposited behind back of eye
43
What happens to Glucose levels with diabetic hyperglycaemia And OsM
600-1200mg/dl 330-380mOsM
44
What does the increase in OsM mean?
Triggers ADH and thirst Try and decrease OsM to normal
45
Whats the glucose levels of a normal person?
90mg/dl
46
Name a possible treatment for type 1
Encapsulated beta cells
47
Name 3 symptoms of type 2 diabetes
Atherosclerosis Renal failure Obesity
48
Why is it RIP for type 2 diabetics
Elevated glucagon levels Alpha cells are insulin dependent Therefore gluconeogenesis occurs Increase glucose into the blood even more!
49
Why does exercise improve insulin resistance in type 2
Lowers blood glucose levels Exercising muscle doesn’t need insulin for uptake of glucose GLUT4 are inserted into membrane with insulin
50
Name a treatment for type 2 diabetics in terms of stimulation
Sulfonyureas Stimulate beta cell secretion of insulin
51
Name a drug which increases glucose in urine
SGLT2 inhibitors
52
Name a drug which stimulates insulin secretion
Exendin-4
53
Define insulin resistance
More insulin needed for same effect of hepatic glucose output Ability to reduce plasma glucose is impaired
54
What does metabolic syndrome link?
Obesity Cardiovascular disease Diabetes MI /Stroke
55
Abnormal amount of lipids in insulin resistant
Dyslipidaemia
56
Lipids can bind to what gene to initiate adipocyte differentiation
PPRA-Y
57
What produces albumin

67
What does VLDL become after removing core of triglyceride
IDL
68
What hormone increases LPL secretion?

69
What does insulin inhibit?
