Cards

Term

Energy regulation of the pancrease

The cell types in the Islets of Langerhans and what they secrete

Definition

alpha cells secrete    glucacon    that ^ BS

beta cells secrete    insulin       that v BS

delta cells  secrete somatostatin

 

these are NOT regulated by the pituitary or hypothalmus

 

Term
Normal fasting blood sugar
Definition
65 - 105
Term
Describe the regulation of Insulin and Glucagon
Definition

regulated mainly by glood glucose

-----lesser effect from amino acids

 

regulated by negative feedback

 

**glucose enters the brain by facilitated diffusion**

 

normal fasting BS is 65 - 105 mg / dl.

-------------

 

High blood glucose (increases)  = then glucose binds to GLUT 2  receptor protein in beta cells

stimulating production and release of insulin

glucose binds to GLUT 2 when blood sugar rises

 

and insulin stimulates skeletal muscle cells and adipocytes to incorporate

GLUT 4 (glucose facilated diffusion carrier)

into the plasma membrane

 

insulin promotes anabolism

 

 

 

 

 

Term
Insulin
Definition

 insulin stimulates skeletal muscle cells and adipocytes to incorporate

GLUT 4 (glucose facilated diffusion carrier)

into the plasma membrane

 

insulin promotes anabolism

Term
Effects of intestinal hormones
Definition

intestinal hormones stimulate insulin activity

 

insulin is released when you eat

 

All three hormones GIP, GLP-1, and CCK stimulate insulin in anticipation of increased blood glucose

Term

Effects of autonomic nerves

on insulin and glucagon secretion

Definition

Parasympathetic nervous system (calm)

stimulates insulin secretion

 

Sympathetic nervous system (excited)

stimulates glucagon secretion

Term
In the absorptive state what happens
Definition

Insulin is the major hormone that promotes anabolism in the body ***

 

When blood insulin increases these things happen:

promotes cellular uptake of glucose

(facilitative diffusion)

1. Stimulates glycogen storage in the liver and muscles

2. Stimulates triglyceride storage in adipose cells (lypogenesis)

3. Promotes cellular uptake of amino acids and synthesis of protein

Term
In the postabsorptive state what goes on?
Definition

Glucogen between meals by glyconeogenesis

 

Maintains blood glucose concentrations

 

When blood glucagon*** is increased:

1. stimulates glycogenolysis (ONLY IN THE LIVER) 

in the liver (glucose-6-phosphatase)-- 

2. Stimulates gluconeogenelysis

3. Skeletal muscles, heart, liver and kidneys use fatty acids as a major souorce of fuel (hormone-sensitive lipase)    

 stimulates lipolysis and ketogenesis  (anabolic and catabolic responses)

 

Remember only  in the  liver  glycogenolysis

 

 

 

 

 

Term

Effects of feeding and fasting on metabolism

Definition

feeding increases glucose which

increases insulin and decreases glucagon

the effects are

the formation of glycogen, fat, and proten

^ glycogon, fat and protein

v  blood glucose        goes down

v  blood amino acids   goes down

v   blood fatty acids    goes down

v   ketone bodies      goes down

 

_____________________________

 

Fasting decreases blood glucose

decreases insulin and increases glucagon

the effects are

hydrolysis of glycogen, fat and protein

+ gluconeogensis and ketogenesis

 

v glycogon, fat and protein

^  blood glucose        goes up      

^  blood amino acids   goes up

^   blood fatty acids    goes up

^   ketone bodies      goes up

 

Term
Oral Glucose Tolerance Test
Definition

Measures the ability of beta cells to secrete insulin

the ability of insulin to lower blood glucose

Normal person's rise in blood glucose after drinking solution is reversed to normal in 2 hours

Term
Diabetes Mellitus
Definition

chronic high blood glucose

 

2 forms: 

1.  Type 1:        insulin dependent diabetes (IDDM)

2.  Type 2:  non-insulin dependent diabetes (NIDDM

Term
Compare type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes
Definition

Type 1 diabetes mellitus =

 

beta cells of the islets of Langerhans are destroyed by autoimmune attack which may be provoked by environmental agent

 

Glucose cannot enter the adipose cells with out insulin which causes the rate of fate synthesis to lag behind the rate of lypolysis...and fatty acids convert to ketone bodies producing ketoacidosis

 

Increased blood glucagon  that stimulates glycogenolysis in the liver

______________________________

 

consequences of uncorrected deficiency in type 1 diabetes mullitus:

 

high liver glycogenolysis  + high liver gluconeogenesis

and so low glucose use and hyperglycemia

and osmotic diuresis H20, Na, K Ca,P

dehydration, volume depletion, hypotension

 

PUPD  =  drink and urinate  thirst and urinate

 

high liver ketogenesis    high lipolysis

decreased keton utilization

hypoketonemia

metabolic acidosis

 

Term
Type 2 diabetes mellitus
Definition

slow to develop

Genetic actors are significant

most often occurs in overweight (even 5 or 10 lbs)

Do not respond to insulin 

Tyrosine kinase not activated

Decreased sensitivity of cells to insulin = insulin resistance---obesity=fat interfers

Do not usually develop ketoacidosis

may have high or normal insulin

 

PUPD  drink and urinate

 

Term
Treatment in diabetes
Definition

lifestyle change

increase exercise + increases the amount of membrane GLUT-4 carriers in the skeletal muscles

weight reduction

increased fiber in diet

reduced saturated fat

 

Not Adkins diet = bad for kidneys

Term
Catecholamines, metabolic effect of
Definition

adrenal medulla part of sympathetic nervous sisten...

similar effects to glucagon

 

metabolic effects similar to glucagon

 

stimulates glycogenolysis

---stimulates release of glucose from liver

---stimulates lipolysis and release of fatty acids

Term
Glucocorticoids, metabolic effects of
Definition

glucocorticoids are secreted in response to

ATCH

 

glucocorticoids support the effects of increased glucagon

 

Promote lipolysis  and ketogenesis

 

Promote protein breakdown in the muscles  (increases blood amino acids)

 

Promote liver gluconeogenesis

 

mineral = aldosterone

glucocortical = cortison

Term
Thyroxine
Definition

follicular cells
active form is T3   

increase T3     decreases TSH  like in Graves Disease 

 

Stimulates cellular respiration by

 production of uncoupling protein

 

Stimulation of active transport Na+/K+ pump

(lowers ATP by using it up)

 

Increases metabolic heat

 

Increases metabolic rate

 

Contributes to proper growth and development of CNA in children

Lack of prenatally and 6 mo postnatally = creatinism

 

Term
Aldosterone
Definition

Aldosterone is a hormone that increases the reabsorption of sodium ions and water

and the release (secretion) of potassium ions

in the cortical collecting ducts and collecting ducts of the kidneys.

This increases blood volume and, therefore, increases blood pressure.

 

Aldosterone is a yellow steroid hormone

 mineralcorticoid family)

produced by the outer-section (zona glomerulosa) 

of the adrenal cortex,

and acts on the the kidney to cause the conservation of Na+, secretion of K+, increased water retention, and increased BP.

The overall effect

of aldosterone

is to increase reabsorption

of ions and water in the kidney.

 

aldosterone is reduced in Addison disease

increased in Conn syndrome

Term

Growth Hormone

Somatotropin

 

 

Definition

hypothalmus GhHR

 

Inhibited by somatostatin

stimulates growth in kids and adolescents

Stimulated by GHRH

 

causes increase in blood amino acids

decrease in blood glucose

pulsatile, increasing during sleep, decreasing during day

 

-----------------------------

inhibited by IGF 1

IGF 1 is produced in the liver in response to GH...it stimulates cell division and growth of cartilage

 

IGF 2 has more insulin-like actions

Term
IGF-1
Definition

liver produces and secretes IFG-1 in response to GH

 

It  stimulates  cell division  and growth of  cartilage

Term

Definition
Term

¾³Bone deposition and reabsorption

CA++ and phosphate concentrations are affected by:

Definition

bone formation and resorption

Intestinal absorption of Ca++  and PO4---

Urinary excretion

________________________________________

Osteoblasts secrete and organic matrix of collagen proteins

 

Deposit hydroxyapatite crystals

__________________________________________

 

Osteoclasts secrete enzymes to dissolve hydroxyapatite

___________________________________________

Formation and resorption of bone occur constantly at rates determined by osteoblasts and osteoclasts

____________________________________________

 

Bone resorption occurs when and osteoclast attaches to the bond matrix and forms ruffled membrane

______________________________________________

Osteoclast secretes products that dissolve both Ca++ and PO4³-:  and digest the matix

----Transport of H+ aby H+ ATPase pump in ruffled border

----Cl- channel allows Cl- to flow to H+ to maintain electrical neutrality

___________________________

 

Protein matrix digested by cathepsin K releasted by osteoclasts

Term
Parahormone  ( PTH )
Definition

THE single most important hormone in control of Ca++

---stimulated by decreased blood Ca++

 

Stimulates osteoclasts to reabsorb bone

 

Stimulates kidneys to reabsorb Ca++ from glomerular filtrate, and inhibit reabsorption of PO4³-

 

Promotes formation of 1, 25 vitamine D3

Term
Calcitonin
Definition

Works with PTH and 1, 25 vitamin D3 to regulate blood Ca++

 

Stimulated by increase of plasma Ca++

 

Inhibited by activity of osteoclasts

 

Stimulates urinary excretion of Ca++ and PO4³- by inhibiting reabsorption

 

Physiological significants in adults is questionable

Term

1, 25 Vitamin D3 (1, 25-Dihydroxyvitamine D3)

 

Pre-vitamine D3 is synthesized in the skin when exposed to mid-ultrviolet waves

---previtamin D3 isomerized to vitamine D3 (cholecalciferol)

 

Cholecalciferol is hydroxylated in the liver to form 25-hydroxycholecalciferol

 

In proximal convoluted tubules is hydroxylated to

1, 25- dihydroxycholecalcifer (active vitamin D3)

---Stimulated by PTH

 

Directly stimulates intestinal absorption of ca++ and PO4³-

 

When Ca++ intake in inadequate ,  directly stimulates bone reabsorption

 

Stimulates reabsorption of Ca++ and PO4³- by the kidneys

---simutaneously raising Ca++ and PO4³- results in increased tnedency of these 2 ions to precipitate as hydroxyapatite crystals

 

Stimulated by PTH
