  • Front
  • Back
nonketotic hyperosmolar coma
dehydration, blood glucose rises 6-20 times normal range, altered mental status develops
How are Alpha and Beta chains of insulin linked?
Disulfide bonds at the cysine residues
Drugs that inhibit insulin release?
diazoxide, phenytoin, vinblastine, and colchinine
How does hyperglycemia cause release of insulin?
Hyperglycemia results in increased intracellular ATP levels which close ATP-dependent potassium channels. This causes depolarization releasing voltage gated Ca2+ channels
What insulin secretagogue drugs close the K+ ATP channel?
sulfonylureas, meglitinides, D-phenylalanine
Once insulin has bound to the alpha subunit a confrontational change occurs stimulating what?
Phosphorylation of tyrosine residues on Beta sub-units causing IRS molecules to bind. Activation Phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase.
Main transporter that regulates insulin release and glucose homeostasis?
Glut2 found in the Beta cells of the pancreas, liver, kidney, gut
Glucocorticoids ____ the affinity of insulin receptors for insulin; GH in excess ____ the affinity...
Lower, Increase
Glut 5 found in the gut and kidney function with what sugar molecule?
fructose
What two transporters deal with absorption of glucose into brain?
Glut1 & Glut3
Glut 4 is found in the muscle and adipose tissues and is responsive to what hormone?
Insulin - mediated uptake of glucose
Insulin effects in the liver ((5)
1. inhibits glycogenolysis
2. inhibits conversion of FA & AA -> keto acids
3. inhibits AA -> glucose
4. promotes glucose storage
5. increases triglyceride synthesis and VLDL formation
Insulin effect on muscle (6)
1. increased protein synthesis
2. increase AA transport
3. increase ribosomal protein synthesis
4. increased glycogen synthesis
5. increased glucose transport
6. induced glycogen synthase and inhibits phosphorylase
Effect on adipose tissues (4)
1. increased TG storage
2. LPL is induced (hydrolzye TG)
3. Glucose transport into cell
4. intracellular lipase is inhibited
Rapid acting Insulin: very low propensity to self associate in antiparallel fashion and form dimers. Is stabilized into hexamers by cresol preservative.
Insulin lispro
Rapid acting insulin: has inhibiting insulin self-aggregation (negatively charged aspartic acid)
Insulin aspart
Rapid acting insulin: may have different down pathway IRS-2 activation
Insulin glulisine
What structure of insulin allows for its delayed onset?
hexameric nature- too large and bulky to cross vascular endothelium into the bloodstream. Should be given 30 min before a meal peaks 2-3 hours after injection.
Mixed with lispro, aspart, glulisine, or regular insulin and has an onset of approximately 2-5 hours and duration of 4-12 hours...
Neutral protamine Hagedorn (NPH) , iophane insulin
Insulin glargine
long acting insulin that acts as background replacement. Has 6-7 fold greater binding that native insulin to IGF-1
Insulin detemir
less hypoglycemia than NPH insulin. action of 1-2 hours and duration of action of more than 12 hours.
What insulins are approved for the pump without increased risk of hypoglycemia?
aspart, lispro, and glulisine
Mechanism of action sulfonylurea drugs
inhibits the efflux of potassium inons through the channel and results in depolarization (release of insulin). Also inhibits alpha-cell secretions.
tolbutamide
sulfonylurea
chlorpropamide
sulfonylurea; half life 32 hours given in morning
Tolazamide
Sulfonylurea; slow absorbed
Glyburide
Sulfonylurea; single morning dose.Contraindicated in patients with hepatic impairment or renal insufficiency.
Gipizide
sulfonylurea; has shortest half life (2-4 hours) should be ingested 30 min before breakfast because absorption is impaired when taken with food. Much less likely to produce hypoglycemia than glyburide. Contraindicated in patients with hepatic impairment or renal insufficiency.
Repaglinide
Meglitinide group; regulating potassium efflux through potassium channel. *CONTAINS NO SULFUR* Approved monotherapy or in combo with biguanides (metformin)
Nateglinide
D-phenylalanine derivative; closure of ATP-sensitive K+ channel. Best to regulate post prandial hyperglycemia.
Metformin
Biguanides; reduce hepatic glucose production through activation of enzyme AMPK. Does not depend on pancreatic beta cells. May impair the hepatic metabolism of lactic acid. impairs B12 absorption when used long term.
Thiazolidinediones
Tzds are ligands of PPAR-Gamma which modulate genes involved in lipid and glucose metabolism, insulin transduction, and adipocyte differentiation.
Pioglitazone
thiazolidinediones; has a risk of bladder cancer in high doses
Rosiglitazone
thiazolidinediones; rapidly absorbed and highly protein bound. *More cardiovascular risk than pioglitazone* due to fluid retention resulting as mild anemia and peripheral edema.
Acarbose and Miglitol
competitive inhibitors of intestinal alpha- glucosidases and reduce postmeal glucose excursions by delaying digestion and absorption of starch and disaccharides.
colesevelam hydrochloride
bile acid sequestrant- interruption of enterohepatic circulation and decrease in FXR activation. lowers HbA1c concentration by 0.5% and LDL cholesterol by 15%.
Pramlintide
synthetic analog of amylin, is an injectable antihyperglycemic agent that modulates postprandial glucose levels. *approved both DM 1 &2) lowers glucagon levels, slows gastric emptying, decreases appetite
exenatide
GLP-1 like *fatal adverse effect is necrotizing and hemorrhagic pancreatitis*
Liraglutide
GLP-1 like- interacts with GLP-1 receptor and acts to increase insulin and decrease glucagon release.
Sitagliptin
DPP-4 inhibitor; increase circulating levels of native GLP-1 and GIP- increases glucose mediated insulin secretion and decreasing glucagon levels
Saxagliptin
DPP-4 inhibitor; increase circulating levels of native GLP-1 and GIP- increases glucose mediated insulin secretion and decreasing glucagon levels
Linagliptin
DPP-4 inhibitor; increase circulating levels of native GLP-1 and GIP- increases glucose mediated insulin secretion and decreasing glucagon levels
What drug that is not insulin is approved for meal time use with type I DM?
Pramlintide (analog of amylin)
