what 3 sources of energy stimulate release of insulin
carbs stimulate the most (glucose)
protein stimulates 2nd most
fats stimulate the least
what is our ultimate storage hormone
insulin
what does insulin stimulate
glucose uptake in most tissues
what is unused glucose stored as
glycogen in muscle
how does the brain use glucose
brain takes up glucose
independent of insulin

liver and pancreas do as well
what are the transporters that transport glucose
hexotransporters
where are the islets of langerhorns located
pancreas, they contain alpha, beta, delta cells
how is insulin released in Beta cells
glucose is taken up by GLUT2

glucose gets phosphorylated by glucokinase

glucose 6 phosphate gets undergoes oxidation (glycolysis)

increase in intracellular ATP which causes ATP K channel to close and no more K is being pumped out of the cell

membrane depolarization due to increase +ve charge

voltage gated Ca channels open

increase in intracellular Ca

migration of vesicles to cell membrane due to increase in intracellular Ca

insulin released from vesicles
what does insulin release in insulin independent cells depend on
intracellular Ca
glucose being taken up by GLUT2
deactivation of K channel
where is insulin made
pancreatic Beta cells

made as a single polypeptide chain that gets cleaved in the vesicle results in 2 chains held together by disulfide bonds and a C peptide
other than measuring someone's insulin levels what is another way you can measure the amount of insulin someone has
measure amount of C peptides
how is insulin stored
in granules w/in Beta cells and it is complexed w/ zine
how does insulin circulate
unbound to protein
what does the insulin receptor look like
IGF-1 receptor

internal and external domain
tyrosine kinase
how does the insulin receptor cause the uptake of glucose
insulin binds to receptor

activates tyrosine kinase

tyrosine kinase phosphorylates insulin receptor substrate (IRS)

IRS serves as a platform and recruits the other kinase (signalining molecules) one of which will phosphorylate GLUT4

once GLUT4 gets phosphorylated it is transported to the membrane
where is the majority of our glucose stored
in the muscle
where is the GLUT4 transporter normally
inside the cell NOT ON THE CELL MEMBRANE
what is also secreted w/ insulin from the Beta cells
amylin
what does Amylin do
suppresses secretion of additional insulin
suppresses glucagon secretion
delays gastric emptying
acts in the brain as a satiety factor (makes you feel full)

net effect: better control of insulin release, better control of absorption of glucose, better control of appetite
what happens if your Beta cells are destroyed
you lose amylin and insulin and have TYPE 1 DIABETES
where are incretins made
GI tract
why does an oral dose of glucose make more insulin than an IV dose
b/c incretins are stimulated in the GI tract by oral glucose and will increase the amount of insulin the make
what do incretins basically do
stimulate insulin secretion
what are the types of incretins
GLP1
GIP1
what does Glucagon like peptide 1 do
stimulates insulin secretion (when glucose is present)
suppresses glucagon secretion
slows gastric emptying
increases satiety
helps improve Beta cell mass
promotes insulin sensitivity
what are properties of Glucagon like peptide 1
made by intestinal L cells
pre propeptide
ALSO SECRETED IN RESPONSE TO EXERCISE AS WELL AS FOOD (GLUCOSE)
what does slowing gastric emptying do
gives us better control over glucose absorption
what does Glucose depepndet insulinotropic peptide-1 do
stimulates insulin secretion (in presence of glucose)
minimal effect on gastric emptying
NO EFFECT OF GLUCAGON SECRETION
NOT A SATIETY FACTOR
preserves Beta cell mass
what cells make somatostatin
delta cells
what regulates incretins
dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4)

DPP4 is found in circulation and rapidly degrades incretins
when we can no longer store glucose as glycogen what happens
glucose is converted to FFA and stored in adipose tissue as triglycerides
what does insulin inhibit
glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, ketogenesis, proteolysis, lipolysis, glycogenolysis
right after a meal what is up
insulin is up
between meals what is up
glucagon to maintain glucose levels for CNS function
what does glucagon stimulate
gluconeogenesis, ketogenesis, lipolysis, glycolysis, glycogenolysis
why doesn't insulin direct glucose uptake to the liver
b/c we need to be able to release glucose from liver when we need it
in between meals what occurs
liver releases glucose into blood stream

break down of fats in adipose tissue (FFA > glucose or FFA > keton bodies for fuel)
right after a meal what occurs
glucose is stored as glycogen in muscles, liver
what is common to both types of diabetes
polydypsia
polyuria
what is diabetes insipidus caused
dysfunction of antidiuretic hormone
what is Type 1 Diabetes
decrease or no insulin (decrease due to as the disease developes your ability to produce insulin decreases until you can't produce insulin at all)

no real cause (autoimmune, pacreatectomy)
when is fasting blood glucose measure
no meal w/in 12 hrs
when is post perandial glucose (PPG) measured
right after a meal
what occurs in the metabolism of someone with type 1 diabetes
no glucose uptake in muscles or adipose tissue due to lack of insulin

liver uptakes glucose and once it can no longer be stored as glycogen it is converted to FFA and sent to the liver to be stored as TG in adipose tissue
what is seen in people with Type 1 diabetes
incerease in blood lipids (due to lipolysis of fats in adipose tissue)
high blood sugar due to increase in amount of glucose in blood (due to increase in gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis)

increase in ketogenesis (make more keton bodies)
what are other signs and symptoms of Type 1 diabetes
polyuria/polydypsia
glucosuria
proteinuria
ketoacidosis
hyperglycemia
muscle wasting
what causes proteinuria
due to damage to glomerulus caused by glucose
what causes ketoacidosis
due to elevated levels of keton bodies
what causes muscle wasting
due to protein breakdown (proteolysis)
WHAT OCCURS IN POLYURIA
urine becomes hyperosmotic
water is no longer reabsorbed therefore lose water in urine
glucose exits blood stream w/ filtrate
what is the honey moon effect
occurs to patients who are getting insulin and after the pancreas is allowed to rest from insulin production it seems to heal a little

these patients will need a little or no insulin at all to maintain normal glucose levels

may last, weeks, months, or a year

EVENTUALLY FULL DEPENDENCE ON INSULIN WILL OCCUR
what is the main goal in treating type 1 diabetes mellitus
maintain blood glucose levels to prevent organ damage
what causes Type 2 diabetes mellitus
insulin secretion defects (secreting too much or too little insulin depending on stage of diabetes)
what occurs in Type 2 diabetes
tissues are insulin resistant/insensitive and don't respond to it resulting in us not taking up glucose when we should (if you have high glucose and tissues are insulin resistance eventhough you are making insulin the tissues won't respond to it and since glucose stimulates insulin secretion we have high insulin)

defect in hepatic glucose management (make glucose when we shouldn't)
what are the subclassification of Type 2 diabetes
non obese type 2
obsese type 2
what occurs in non obese type 2?
onset: youth or adult, MODY
strong heritable component
manage by diet/exercise/oral Rx
ocassionally need low dose of insulin
what occurs in obese type 2
polyuria, polydypsia, fatigue, weight gain (b/c make so much insulin and store a lot of fat)
CAN'T STORE GLUCOSE
treat w/ diet, exercise, oral rx, insulin sometimes
what are the sequelae of type 1 and 2
retinopathy
nephropathy
neuropathy
what is retinopathy
small hemorrhages lead to scaring then blindness
what occurs in nephropathy
damage due to excess glucose and free radicals results in damage and thickening of capillary basement membrane material will damage glomerulous and you see proteinuria
what occurs if neuropathy
nerve damage due to free radicals
what occurs when hyperglycemia inside the cell
increased intracellular glucose reacts with reactive O2 species

*there is usually reducing agents to neutrolize the reactive oxygen species but due to the high amount of glucose the reducing agents are tied up metabolizing glucose

reactive carbonyls on sugars (reactive carbonyls will react with anything it comes in contact with)
what happens to a protein when it reacts w/ a reactive carbonyl on a sugar
the protein undergoes glyoxidation
what happens to a lipid when it reacts w/ a reactive carbonyl on a sugar
the lipid undergoes lipoxidation (this makes the lipid toxic)
what can occur to proteins and lipids that are reacted w/ reactive carbonyl on sugar
they form AGES > cell death

they undergo oxidative stress > cell death
what occurs in oxidative stress
free radicals damage the DNA causing cell to undergo apoptosis
what are AGES
products of proteins, carbonyls, lipids

macrophages have a receptor for AGES and these cells undergo immune attack
