Type 1 Diabetes Flashcards
When glucose stimulates insulin secretion, you get regulated secretion of insulin in the form of _____
insulin and c peptide (96%) and proinsulin/intermediates (4%)
Insulin secretory vesicles
10k granules/beta cell
Secretory granules contain insulin and ____
zinc, proinsulin, proteolytic enzymes, iapp (islet amyloid polypeptide)
Glucose is taken up by the beta cell via ___
Glut2
Rate limiting step of glucose in beta cell
glucokinase
Insulin vesicle release are dependent on the contribution of ____ form voltage gated channels.
Calcium
______ is used diagnosticlaly to determine if someone is secreting insulin
c-peptide release
Insulin release in beta cell
glucose –> glut 2–> glycolysis –>atp/adp ratio increase –> atp sensitive potassium channel –> voltage gated ca channel –> calcium –> vesicle release
Stimulators of insulin secretion
nutrient load, vagus nerve (inhibited by sympathetics, cephalic phase sight/smell of food, gut hormons (GLP1/GIP)
Inhibitors of insulin secretion
starvation/hypoglycemia, glucagon, epinephrine, growth hormone, cortisol
The major regulator of insulin secretion is ___
glucose
If secretory stimulus persists, a ___ response follows which involves active synthesis of insulin in the beta cells
second/delayed
sulfonylureas stimulate/inhibit insulin secretion
stimulate
Insulin is a ____ hormone
anabolic
Principal metabolic function of insulin
increase rate of glucose transport into select cells in body
Type 1 diabetes subtypes
1a = autoimmune, 1b = non-autoimmune
Most T1D are auto/non auto immune
autoimmune
Gestational diabetes is a precursor of ____
t2d
LADA
latent auto-immune diabetes of adulthood –> adult age at diagnosis, initially appears as nonobese t2d –> initially controlled with meal planning with or without oral pills –> low c peptide concentration and antibody psotiive
monogenic diabetes
characterized by pancreatic beta cell dysfunction –> autosomal dominant
T1D or T2D? absolute insulin deficiency
t1d
T1D or T2D? abrupt onset
t1d
T1D or T2D? life long insulin injection
t1d
T1D or T2D? propensity for development of dka
t1d
T1D or T2D? predominant under 30 yrs old
t1d
