endocrine units of pancreas
|
Islets of Langerhans
|
|
cells in Islets of langerhans
|
alpha- glucogon
beta- insulin D (delta)- somatostatin |
|
structure of Islet of Langerhans
|
~3000 cells
capillaries run thru- radial beta cells secrete first insulin inhibits glucagon rls somatostatin inhibits both g & i |
|
insulin signal will...
|
(anabolic signal)
glucose uptake, use & storage glucose oxidation (glycolsis) glycogen synth fat synth protein synth |
|
glucagon signal will...
|
(catabolic signal)
stimulate glucose synthesis & mobilization glycogenolysis, gluconeogenesis, ketogenesis |
|
structures of insulin
|
Preproinsulin nucleus to ER
signal sequence no disulfide C peptide Proinsulin- (vesicles) in ER to golgi no signal sequence yes disulfides Insulin- processed in vesicles (golgi), stored at microtubules, released with Ca signal no signal or C peptide yes disulfides equal concentration w/C peptide in vesicle |
|
C peptidase test
|
test for diabetes
easier to get good measure |
|
innervation of endocrine pancreas
|
para & sympss
GLP 1 (from L cells- enteroendocrine) give paracrine stim |
|
GLP 1
|
ANS stimulation of Langerhans
released if think about food stimulates insulin release (even in absence of glucose) |
|
glucose entry into pancreas
|
GLUT 2 receptor
not easily saturated keeps working even with high glucose |
|
defect in glucokinase
|
MODY
|
|
signaling insulin release
|
GLUT 2 takes up glucose
glucokinase phosphorylates Glycolysis release ATP inhibits "sur" at K channel K out depolarize Ca in repolarize with K in |
|
MOA of metformin
|
inhibits repolarization of beta cell (insulin continued to be released)
also mech for sulfanyl urea) |
