Cards

Term
metabolism
Definition

absorptive state

post absorptive state

 

 

rate of deposit, withdrawal in and from and conversion of one type to another regulated by hormones

Balance of anabolic and catabolic determined by insulin vs glucogen, GH, T4 etc

Term
Energy regulation by pancreatic Islets
Definition

increased BS = increased insulin = promotes synthesis of glycogen and fat

 

degreased BS = increased glucagon and increased glycogenesis in liver

 

beta cells secete insulin the major hormone that maintains he=omeostsis in BS

 

alpha cells secrete glucagon

 

delta produce somatosttin ( same as produced in hypothalmus and intestine)

 

Brain uses 60% of glucose

Can keep BS by pancreatic regulation of liver (glucose from glycogen and non carb molecules)

only in the liver can glucose be made from glycogen

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

 

Term
Insulin
Definition

Insulin stimulates insertion of GLUT 4 carrier proteins in plasma membrane of target cells=heart, muscle, adipose and liver

 

permits entry of glucose into target cells by facilitated diffusion

 

Insulin promotes the productin of energy storing molecules of glycogen and fat and decreased BS.  Insulin inhibits breakdown of fat

induces fat forming enzymes

inhigits breakdown of muscle protein

promotes anabolism

 

Prevents BS from going above 170 mg per 100 ml after a meal

or below 50 per 100 molecules between meals

 

If BS goes too low it can damage brain

weak, dizzy, act odd, coma and death.

 

fasting BS 65- 105 mg/dl     eat   140 - 150 mg/dl

 

beta cells of islets acted on  leads to closing of K+ channels

Produces depolarization that opens voltage gated Ca++ channels

the rise in cytoplasm Ca++ stimulates exocytosis of vsicules containing insulin

 

Inhibits secretion of glucogen from alpha

 

 

changes in insulin and glucogon maintain homeostasis

 

Term
Type 1 diabetes mellitus
Definition

autoimmune

glucose cannot enter adipose cells

breakdown of fat and free fatty acids are released from adipose tissue and converted to ketone bodies in liver

ketosis-and if buffer reserves of bicarbonate is neutralized get detoacidosis

glucose and detone act as osmotic diuretics

severe dehydration and ketoacidosis and electrolyte imbalance can lead to coma and death

 

Plus type 1 diabetic have a high secretion of glucagon from alpha cells

 

glucagon stimulates glycogneolysis in liver and increases BS

 

glucagon stimulates production in liver that converts fatty acids to ketone bodies

 

 

Term
Type 2 diabetes mellitus
Definition

effects of hormones depend on concentration in blood and sensitivity of trget organs to given amount of hormone.

 

Type 2 have low tissue sensitivity  

insulin resistance

 

In insulin resistance increased glucagon secretion gives much increase of BS aby stimulating liver glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis

 

pre diabetic  glucosde tolerance test 140 -200

over 200 = diaabetes

 

exercise increases GLUT 4 carriers and helps

 

type 2 usually do not develope ketoacidosis

 

increased insulin level = increased triglycerides, decreased HDL cholesterol, metabolic changed that increase CV disease, increase BP, CVA ett

this is metabolic syndrome

Term
Adrenal hormones, Thyroxine and GH metabolic regulation by
Definition

epinephrine, cortisol, thyroxine, GH stimulate catabolism of carbs and lipids

 

GH has both anabolic and catobolic effects

it promotes protein synthesis   anabolism

and stimulates catabolism of fat and release of fatty acids from adipose in fasting

decreases glucose use by cells

GH increases blood sugar so has a diabetogenic effect

 

Thyroxine and GH stimulate protein synthesis, body growth and development of CNS

Term
metabolic effects of catecholamines
Definition

similar to that of glucagon

stimulate glycogenolysis andd release of glucose from liver and lypolysis and release of fatty acids from adipose tissue

 

glucagon and epinephrine have similar mechanisms of actin where both are mediated by cAMP

 

brown fat an have a high rate of energy expendituure that is stimulated by spinephrin (unchecked by negative feedback from ATP)

Term
Effects of GH on body growth
Definition

skeleton increases epithysial growth plates in cartilage in long bones mediated by IGF-1 and IGF-2

 

in adults too much causes acromegaly

 

Term
promotes lipolysis and ketogenesis and stimulates making of liver enzymes that increase glyconeogenesis
Definition

cortisol

and glucagon

 

Term
somatostatin
Definition

from hypothalmus

inhibits GH

regulation of GH

 

GHRH stimulates growth hormone secretion

unique in that its secretion is controlled by releasing and inhibiting hormone from hypothalmus

 

anterior pituitary gland, adenohypophysis, secretes the growth hormone. the secretion is under control of growth hormone releasing factor and growth ...

Term
Insulin-like growth factors   IGF's
Definition

polypeptides from many tissues

similar to pro-insulin structure

it effects (somatomedian) and mediates some fo GH actions

 

liver makes and secretes IGF-1 in response to GH stimulation

IGF-1 then acts as a hormone itself and goes to targets

cartilage is a major target of IGF-1= stimulates growth

 

It also functions as an autocrine regulator because cartidedge also produce IGF-1 in response to GH stimulation

Growth promoting IGF-1 acts as a hormone and an autocrine regulator and is a jajor regulator of bone growth

_______________

 

these actions are supported by IGF-2 which has a more insulin like actin. 

GH stimulates lipolysis in adipose tissue  but glucose use is not mediated by somatomedians IGF-1  or IGF-2

Term
regulation of Ca++ and phosphorus
Definition

necessary for contaction of muscles and up keep of membrane permeability

 

low plasma Ca+=

increases PTH=

robs bone of Ca++

decreases excretion of Ca++ from kidney

no effect on intestines

1,25 dihydroxyvitamine D3 increases uptake of Ca++ in intestines

 

disease=hypercalcemia adn osteofibrosa

_________________________________

 

high Ca++ in blood

calcitonin secreted=

put Ca++ in bones

excretes Ca++ by kidney

nothing in intestines

no disease known

____________________________

 

vitamin D

puts Ca++ in bone

kidney keeps Ca++

intestines absorb Ca++

 

diseases osteomalasis

rickets in kids

Term
bone
Definition

osteoblasts = bone forming

 

osteoclast = bone breaking = puts Ca++ in blood

 

 

Term
Calcium
Definition

is used for clotting

cell signaling

second messenger for hormone actions

stimulus for muscle contraction

for cell membrane permeability

 

decreased Ca++ = increased permeability of cell membrane to Na+ and other ions

 

high Ca++ = reduces exitability of muscles

 

Low Ca++ = muscle contraction becomes abnormal and the nervous system more excitable

 

 

Term

Parathyroid hormone PTH

and calcitonin

Definition

if plasma levels of Ca++ decrease

PTH increases

 

if no parathyroid = hypocalcemia'

decreased PTH

decreased D#

decreased Mg

 

hypocalcemia= muscle twitching, spasm, tetany

 

hypercalcemia = muscles become less excitable

Term
D3
Definition

1st in skin from 7 dehydrocholesterol + sun

enzymes  and convert to active form

 

Primary action of D is to increase intestinal absorption of Calcium

 

a kidney enzyme stimulated by PTH also does something to increase absorption from intestines

put Ca++ in bones but must have enough Ca++

if calcium intake is too low then D causes demineralization of bones

kidneys resorb Ca++

 

D3 is also and autocrine / paracrin regulator by skin, breasts, colon, prostrate and some immune cells.  they convert inactive form from liver to active regulator and it remain in tissue of organ that makes it

 

D is an autocrine or paracrine regulator in tissues and organs

it promotes cell differentiation and inhibits cell proliferation and helps immune system fight infection
