If injecting .. There will not be C peptide …
Insulin would be higher
Insulin secretion
preformed insulin waiting to go
dense structure
how does in in glucose cause a release ?
ATP levels
liver and pancreas .. respond

GLUT2-impossible to saturate
has glucokinase.. hard to saturate.. level of act inc prop to level of glucose
ATP affects K channel
change in K influx, inc K levels so you get a depolarization

Ca influx that cuases insulin granules to fuse with membrane
Mechanism of insulin secretion
stimulated by glucose influx (>80 mg/dL)
glucose enters pancreatic cells via the GLUT2 transporter
glucose metabolism increases ATP levels
ATP-dependent K+ channel closes
pancreatic cell membrane depolarizes
voltage gated Ca2+ channel opens allowing intracellular [Ca2+] to rise
secretory vesicles containing insulin fuse with plasma membrane
Insulin mechanism of action
Insulin binds a specific insulin receptor (many tissues)
Insulin receptor is an α22 heterotetramer
Insulin receptor belongs to a large family of Tyr-kinase receptors
Insulin binding induces receptor Tyr-kinase activity

phos tyrosine residue --- hydroxyl group gets phos
IRS protein
bound to TK
most impt action of insulin
induces protein trafficking (example: GLUT4 to plasma membrane)
also a cell growth receptor ****
cell mitgenesis and growth regulating genes

Mm -pathway ************
1. PI3-kinase - Protein kinase B pathway
Regulates enzymes that control metabolism
Glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, glycogen synthesis, fatty acid synthesis
Stimulates GLUT4 transporters moving to plasma membrane
other pathway
MAP kinase pathway
Stimulates gene expression
Stimulates mitogenesis
PI3 pathway - aka prot kinase B path

enzymne as AKT ***********
inc protein trafficing - Glut 4
and major enzymne control
MAP kinase -- mitogene
turns on gene expressionand cell growth and mitosis
PI3 kinase more... see pics !!!!!!!
IRS gets phos
this activates PI3
mem bound phospholipid -- putting on another phos *** still attached to membrane (this is diff from path where is released with Ca release)
can activate PDK-1 and PK-B , PK-B detaches from membrane .. and is soluble, can stim all sorts of pathways
Insulin stimulation of glycogen synthesis via PI3 kinase

fed state
Insulin signals , and activates PK-B
Glycogen syn on

Type I - Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM)
deficiency of insulin production
destruction of insulin producing cells in the pancreas
often an autoimmune disease
usually early onset (children or teens)

Tx : insulin
Type II - Noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM
signaling cascade prob
insulin wont work , not always true though .. during end... panncreas fails sometimes.. also give insulin

is a resistance to insulin action
insulin levels may be normal
usually later onset
linked to genetics and obesity
MODY 2 (maturity onset diabetes of the young)
defect in pancreatic glucokinase
Insulin secretion requires ↑ [glucose] to cause ↑ [ATP]
Therefore insulin release only at very high [glucose] in these patients

no glucokinase present .. dont get ic in ATP though !!!
like they r nnot making insulin
DM
transporter that up to tissue ..

Glucose is overproduced and under-utilized
causes polyuria and polydipsia
DM
disorders in fat Metab
unregulated... will go into DKA
Levels of circulating glucose, ketone bodies, fatty acids, and VLDLs increase
Ketosis may occur in unregulated IDDM
Fatty acids are released by the adipose tissue
VLDLs and chylomicrons are poorly metabolized because lipoprotein lipase synthesis is signaled by insulin
Glucagon-Like” Peptide 1 (GLP-1)‏
an incretin hormone
Released by luminal glucose, fats and amino acids in the duodenum & jejunum
Arguably the most important incretin hormone
Releases preformed insulin (cAMP/PKA pathway) but suppresses glucagon
reflexes
thinking about food, and become hypoglycemic..

Cephalic Reflex:
triggered by thought, sight, smell and taste of food.
other reflexes..
Enteropancreatic Reflex:
Triggered by sugars and amino acids (probably osmolarity) in the small intestine.

MIT & DIT, I+ recycled.
how is thyroid hormone transported ?
Albumin
Thyroxine-binding prealbumin
******Thyroid-binding globulin (TBG)
< 1% free and active
Thyroid-binding globulin (TBG)
**********
binds T3 & T4
pregnancy and estrogen therapy increase TBG levels, increasing total, not free levels of T4
more TBG made , from estrogen ....
results ?
More TBG around – more free hormone it will scoop up


Pituitary senses.. Free hormone level dropped , and more TSH put out
Keep free levels constant


Goljan: inc TBG, inc total serum T4 , not free **********
pump inhibiting drugs
99mTc pertechnetate- radioisotope used in thyroid scans (diagnostic)

Compete with I- at pump-concentrated by the thyroid
Wolff-Chaikoff Effect
negative feedback like

excess iodine inhibits organification
inhibts pump also
normally self limiting
Organification Inhibiting Drugs
SSKI- inhibits organification- Wolff-Chaikoff effect
Thiourea drugs


supersaturated solution of potassium iodide ....
Biological Effects of T3
Adipose tissue
GI
Liver
Muscle
4 B's for T 3 ******
brain , bone, beta adrenergic tickling , and BMR
bio effect more... *********
notice liver...
Adipocytes- increases lipolysis
Intestine- increases glucose absorption
Liver- increases gluconeogenesis, glycogenolysis, and LDL receptor synthesis
Muscle- increases glucose uptake, protein synthesis, augments growth hormone effects
why the inc body temp , etc. ***
T3 increases ATP synthesis and ATP utilization, both generate heat
Cretinism
Dwarfism
severe mental retardation
not apparent at birth
cured with oral thyroid hormone therapy

why not apparent at birth ?
b/c has “borrowed some from mom” lasts for 100 days
Myxedema
swelling of facial tissues
dry hair and skin
slow heart rate, low body temperature
dull brain function
cured with oral thyroid therapy
Pendred syndrome
Hypothyroidism and sensorineural deafness
Caused by mutations in the SLC26A4 gene
Complete absence of thyroid (thyroid agenesis)
Thyroid hypoplasia
Autoimmune Hypothyroidism
Circulating autoantibodies
Anti-microsomal
Anti-thyroid peroxidase
Anti-thyroglobulin antibodies
Secondary Hypothyroidism
Caused by deficiency of TSH
Causes for hypopituitarism
Pituitary tumor
Postpartum pituitary necrosis
Trauma
Nonpituitary tumors
Hypothalamic damage
Tumors, trauma, radiation therapy
Hashimoto Thyroiditis
Can occur in children
Major cause of nonendemic goiter

capsule intact....
"well circumscribed"
Subacute Lymphocytic Thyroiditis
not sub acute thyroiditis !!!!!!!!!!!

this one is painelss!!!

Variant of Hashimoto thyroiditis
Majority of patients have circulating anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies
Graves triad ***
Hyperthyroidism
Infiltrative ophthalmopathy with resultant exophthalmos
Localized, infiltrative dermopathy
Pretibial myxedema

lack fibrovascular core

Sporadic Goiter
Female preponderance
Multinodular Goiter
mistaken for ?
More frequently mistaken for neoplastic involvement
History of radiation treatment
Associated with an increased incidence of thyroid malignancy
Hallmark of all follicular adenomas
Presence of an intact, well-formed capsule encircling the tumor
benign neoplasm of thyroid
Follicular adenomas

benigns outnumber carcinoomas 10:1
nodules
solitary : more likely to be neoplastic than multiple

younger : more likely neoplastic
males : also more likely **** (exception to rule )
neoplams of thyroid
hx of radiation
hot nodules A LOT more likely to be benign
adenoma , from ?
follicular epithelium
hallmark of follicular adenomas ..
presence of itanct .. well formed capsule
thyroid carcinoma
uncommon in US
female predominance
antibodies in graves disease

Thyroperoxidase Abs
Thyroglobulin Abs
Tx for graves
antithyroid drugs
PTU and Methimazole
Agranulocytosis *******
what to do ?
from ?
from PTU !!!

order a stat cbc with graves patient that is sick fever/sore throat ************
other graves tx ?
I 131
thyroiditis antibodies
TSH-R Ab , block
managment for nodules
FNA fine needle aspirate
GI symptoms with thyroid ***
kind of backwards with symp/parasymp
Clinically.. T4 drops a little bit… pit senses… rises.. It brings T4 back to normal .. Never really see the drop b/c pituitary kicked in quickly
Goes on long enough to see an elevated TSH in the face of a normal T4 – first sign of
hypothyroidism
Tc99 pertechnetate*****
used for thyroid scan
to ID hot or cold nodules
competes with iodine @ the pump

not same as I 131 (RAIU)
which measures the function of the ENTIRE gland
thyroiditis vs. graves with thyroid scans *****
in thyroiditis the gland is burnt out
most impt known stimulus of the thyroid gland ?
temp **
secondary hyperthyroidism
inc TSH , and T3/T4

dec TRH ****
tertiary hyperthyroidism
everything up
thyroid storm
Rarely, a period of very high thyroid secretion can occur in hyperthyroid patients or patients with thyroid infections. This occurs when the follicular cells are damaged and may reflect massive release of stored follicular thyroid hormones.

****This will produce extreme hyperthermia, hypoglycemia, and possibly 'high output' heart failure leading to shock. A thyroid storm lasts about 3 days.
hyperthyroid goiter
will be from secondary or tertiary hyperthyroidism

inc TSH
what thyroid disorder can cause athlerosclerosis ?
hypothyroidism
