1
New cards

What is diabetes mellitus?

the inability of the body to regulate blood glucose levels

2
New cards

What is T1DM?

Lack of insulin production that results in elevated blood glucose levels

Increased urination, thirst, and hunger + weight loss

3
New cards

What is T2DM?

Insulin resistance (reduced uptake of glucose in cells)

T2DM patients have a reduced incretin effect, meaning they don't adequately stimulate insulin secretion when bindingdecreased glucose levels between meals or while sleeping -> to specific receptors on beta cells

4
New cards

In the pancreas, alpha cells secrete...

glucagon (increases plasma glucose, catabolic)

5
New cards

In the pancreas, beta cells secrete...

insulin (decreases plasma glucose, anabolic)

amylin (decreases plasma glucose, slows gastric emptying)

6
New cards

Structure of insulin

active insulin is composed of A and B chain C-peptide is the connecting peptide and it is co-secreted with insulin

7
New cards

Insulin release is stimulated by

  • hyperglycemia (GLUT-2)

  • byproducts of food/nutrient ingestion (amino acids, K+, free fatty acids)

  • parasympathetic activation

  • hormones (GIP, CCK, GLP-1)

  • sulfonylurea drugs

8
New cards

Insulin release is inhibited by

  • hypoglycemia

  • exercise

  • sympathetic activation (alpha-2 receptor inhibition)

  • somatostatin

9
New cards

Function of GLUT2

stimulate insulin release from BETA-CELL (pancreas)

10
New cards

Function of GLUT4

allows glucose entry into cell (adipose tissue and skeletal muscle cells)

11
New cards

What is the action of insulin?

  • binds to insulin receptor on muscle, liver and fat cells

  • in muscle and fat cells, causes translocation of GLUT-4 to cell surface, which leads to uptake of glucose

promotes glucose uptake, glycogenesis, lipogenesis

12
New cards

  • formation of GLYCOGEN and storage in liver and muscle

  • insulin: increased

  • glucagon: decreased

13
New cards

  • breakdown of GLYCOGEN from storage

  • insulin: decreased

  • glucagon: increased

14
New cards

Define glycolysis (Does insulin/glucagon increase or decrease?)

  • breakdown of GLUCOSE to release ATP (cellular respiration)

  • insulin: increased

  • glucagon: decreased

15
New cards

Define gluconeogenesis (Does insulin/glucagon increase or decrease?)

  • formation of GLUCOSE from non-glucose sources

  • insulin: decreased

  • glucagon: increased

16
New cards

Define ketogenesis (Does insulin/glucagon increase or decrease?)

  • production of KETONE bodies during metabolism of fats

  • insulin: decreased

  • glucagon: increased

17
New cards

Define lipogenesis (Does insulin/glucagon increase or decrease?)

  • conversion of FATTY ACIDS and glycerol into fats (storage fats)

21
New cards

Major physiologic action of glucagon in regulating blood glucose levels

decreased glucose levels between meals or while sleeping -> decreases insulin -> glucagon secretion stimulation -> hepatic glycogenolysis, gluconeogenesis -> increase blood glucose levels

22
New cards

Pathophysiologic events resulting in T2DM

can be due to multiple defects
