What pancreas cells make insulin?
Beta
What pancreas cells make glucagon?
Alpha
what pancreas cells make somatostatin?
Delta
What do pancreas cells make pancreatic polypeptide?
F cells
What is insulin syntheized from?
a prohormone
what is ratio of release for C peptide to insulin?
it is 1-1, pro insulin is cleaved of its C peptide to form insulin and C peptide
How does glucose stimulate insulin release?
binds glut 2
ATP is produced, closes K+ channels.

Depolarizes cell.

Opens Ca2+ channels, causing exocytosis
What is the release of insulin like?
insulin spike within seconds of glucose infusion

then about 10 min later, a second, sustained release
What has a greater insulin reponse, oral, or IV?
oral does, due to incretin
what is incretin? what does it do?
This cause 60% of insulin released after a mean, resultant from GLP-1 and GIP release (GIP= glucose dependent insulinotropic peptide)
What are the two sections of the insulin receptor? what do they do?
alpha- binds insulin

beta- tyrosine kinase, causes autophosphorlyation when insulin binds

also activates insulin receptor substrates-> activates other enzymes
How does insulin affect carbohydrate metabolism?
stimulates:
glucose transport
glycogen synthesis
glucose oxidation
what does insulin affect lipid metabolism?
stimulates:
lipogenesis
FFA uptake
cholesterol synthesis
How does insulin affect protein metabolism?
stimulates:
aa uptake
protein synthesis

inhibits:
proteolysis
What is the rapid effect of inuslin?
increase transport of glucose/aa/K+ into cells
what is the intermediate time effect of insulin?
stimulation of protein and glycogen synthesis
what is the delayed effect of insulin?
lipogenesis
what does amylin do? what produces it?
this made by Beta Cells (insulin)

it delays gastric emptying
what does pancreastatin do? what makes it?
this is made by beta cells (insulin)

this is autofeedback regulation of insulin release
How does insulin affect Other things? (list of 5)
inotropic effect on heart
diet induced thermogenesis
increases energy expenditure
decrease NPY synthesis (suppressing appetite)
increase K+ and PO4 reabsorption
What form is glucagon synthesized as?
it is made as a prohormone by alpha cells
where does preproglucagon synthesis occur?
in intestinal cells and primarily alpha cells in the pancreas
What is the role of glucagon?
this is used to increase circulating glucose levels.

promotes mobilatization of fuel!
What stimulates the release of glucagon?
hypoglycemia
and AA's (which are turned into glucose)
What suppresses the release of glucagon?
lots of glucose, FFA, and ketones in the blood
How does glucagon affect carbohydrate metabolism?
stimulates glycogenolysis

gluconeogenesis

ALSO- epi induced hyperglycemia
How does glucagon affect lipid metabolism?
stimulates lipolysis

increases plasma FFAs

ketogenesis

can cause acidosis without insulin
how does glucagon affect protein metabolism?
stimulates AA uptake, and gluconeogenesis from it.

increases urinary nitrogen.

inhibits protein synthesis
What 4 things lower blood sugar?
Glucagon
Cortisol
GH
Epiniphrine
these all promote glucose mobilization
What is the normal I to G ratio? how does it change?
it is normally 2:1

during exercise, can become 1:2 (i:G)

during high sugar meal can be 10:1
What are the actions of somatostatin?
inhibits insulin and glucagon secretion

inhibits GH secretion

inhibits GI hormone secretions/motility/pepsin/blood flow
