hormones that have both catabolic and anabolic effects
growth hormone
thyroxine
glucagon and GH
both increase blood glucose levels
the hyperglycemia induced by glucagon eventually inhibits growth hormone release
initially GH release is stimulated by glucagon to ensure maximum increase in blood glucose
both also increase lipolysis and ketogenesis
paradoxical effect of GH
GH increases plasma glucose but also stimulates insulin release from cells and promotes glycogen storage in the liver
cortisol paradoxical effect
increases blood glucose while also promoting glycogen storage in the liver

does this as the body needs glucose to respond to stress and then stores it in the liver to sequester the response
absorptive state
carbs most important energy source
synthesis of carbs, triglycerides, and proteins
liver takes up glucose and stores as glycogen
AAs --> proteins
postabsorptive state
maintain blood glucose
breakdown of glycogen, triglycerides, and protein
brain uses mostly glucose but increases use of ketones if fasting persists
effects of insulin
actions in muscle, fat, and liver
increases glucose uptake and use in cells
increases synthesis of proteins, fats, and carbs
effects of glucagon
actions mainly in muscle and fat
increases blood glucose
Amino Acid effects on glucagon and insulin levels
increased AA --> increased glucagon and insulin
glucagon and insulin levels after a mixed protein-carb meal
both are increased
insulin is increased more than glucagon as both carbs and AAs lead to increases in insulin and only AAs lead to increase in glucagon
insulin-glucagon interaction
in pancreas: insulin inhibits alpha cells limiting glucagon release

In liver: insulin only affects previously glucagon activated cells
epi effects on blood glucose
increase blood glucose by:
glycogenolysis
gluconeogeneis
lipolysis
inhibiting insulin release
stimulating glucagon release
sympathetic nerve stimulation of liver and adipose tissue
same effects as epi
effect of increased cortisol levels
increased blood glucose, AAs, and FAs
prolonged high levels of cortisol can cause symptoms similar to
insulin deficiency
life-threatening hypoglycemia can result in this type of patient
cortisol deficient
high levels of growth hormone
increase blood glucose
mobilizes lipids
GH, IGF-1, and insulin response to protein ingestion
GH: increased
IGF-1: increased
Insulin: increased
GH, IGF-1, and insulin response to carb ingestion
GH: decreased
IGF-1: none
Insulin: increased
GH, IGF-1, and insulin response to fasting
GH: increased
IGF-1: decreased
Insulin: decreased
Exercise
muscles use:
glycogen from muscles producing lactate/pyruvate
glucose from liver
FAs from adipose tissue lipolysis
ghrelin
produced in stomach
increases appetite
short-term (1-2 hrs. before meal)
CCK
produced by I cells of duodenum and jejunum
decreases appetite
short-term (after food leaves stomach)
PYY3-36
produced in SI
decreases appetite
between meals
leptin
produced in white adipose tissue
decreases appetite via decreased neuropeptide Y
long-term ongoing regulation
Orexin
produced in lateral hypothalamus
increases appetite
ongoing reg
type 1 DM
low or no insulin due to autoimmune destruction of beta cells
consequences of type 1 DM
always elevated blood glucose
marked lipolysis --> elevated glycerol and FAs
elevated ketones as liver converts FAs to ketones
untreated type 1 DM
elevated glucose and ketones causes osmotic diuresis --> decreased blood volume --> decreased brain blood flow --> coma

elevated ketones --> increased plasma H+ --> acidosis --> brain dysfunction --> coma
obesity and type 2 DM
greater levels of insulin are required to control blood glucose in obese patients
glucagon and DM severity
glucagon is elevated or normal in many DM patients even though blood glucose is high as direct suppression of glucagon release by insulin is suppressed
conditions resulting in very low blood glucose
insulin-producing tumors
excess insulin injection
liver disease
glucagon def.
cortisol def.
symptoms of hypoglycemia
due to low plasma glucose: headache, confusion, poor coordination
due to reflexive sympathetic action: hunger, tachycardia, tremors, weakness, anxiety
food intake and fat oxidation
inhibits fat oxidation
diet and exercise plan with greatest potential to yield a long-term, slow-rate negative fat balance
medium carb, low-fat diet
prolonged low-moderate intensity exercise
BMI
body weight/height^2
BMI > 30
obese
