Sulfonylureas
(name 4) |
Tolbutamide, glyburide, glipizide, chlorpropamide
|
|
Sulfonylureas
|
-stimulate release of endogenous insulin
-close K ch to depolarize cell and release insulin (d/t increase Ca influx) -can cause hypoglycemia |
|
Metformin
|
mechanism unknown: may inhibit gluconeogenesis and increase glycolysis
- can ->lactic acidosis |
|
Glitaziones
|
increase target cell response to insulin
toxicity: wt gain, hepatotoxic (troglitazone) |
|
alpha-glucosidase inhibitors
|
Acarbose, miglitol
|
|
Acarbose
|
inhibits intestinal brush border alpha-glucosidase: delays hydrolysis of sugars and absorption of glucose -> decreased postprandial hyperglycemia
toxicity: GI disturbances |
|
Insulin receptor mechanism
|
Tyrosine kinase activity
|
|
Insulin actions in liver
|
increase storage of glucose as glycogen
|
|
Insulin actions in muscle
|
Stimulates glycogen and protein synthesis and K uptake
|
|
Insulin actions in adipose
|
facilitates triglyceride storage
|
|
Insulin clinical use and toxicities
|
1. diabetes
2. life-threatening hyperkalemia 3. stress-induced hyperglycemia Tox: hypoglycemia |
