INSULIN – Hormone Associated with Energy Abundance
1.Effect on Carbohydrate Metabolism
A. Promotes Muscle Glucose Uptake and Metabolism-Storage of Glycogen in Muscle
B. Promotes Liver Uptake, Storage and Use of GlucoseMechanisms:
a. inactivates liver phosphorylaseb. causes enhanced uptake of glucose from the
blood by the liver cells (by increasing the activity of the enzyme glucokinase
![Page 6: 997388 the-pancreas](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c1010d4a7959ff6d8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
C. increases activity of enzyme glycogen synthase , that promote glycogen synthesis
- Glucose is released from the liver between mealsLack of insulin activates Phosphorylase , which causes splitting of glycogen into glucose phosphate
- Insulin promotes Conversion of Excess Glucose into fatty Acids and Inhibits Gluconeogenesis in theliver

3. Effect of Insulin on Protein MetabolismA. INSULIN PROMOTES PROTEIN Synthesis and Storage
a. stimulates transport of amino acids into the cells (valine, leucine, isoleucine, tyrosine, phenylalanine)
b. increases the translation of messenger RNA, forming new proteins
c. increases the rate of transcription of DNA genetic sequences in cell nuclei
d. inhibits catabolism of proteinse. depresses the rate of gluconeogenesis

MECHANISMS OF INSULIN SECRETION
![Page 14: 997388 the-pancreas](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c1010d4a7959ff6d8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
![Page 15: 997388 the-pancreas](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c1010d4a7959ff6d8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
![Page 16: 997388 the-pancreas](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c1010d4a7959ff6d8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
CONTROL OF INSULIN SECRETION
1. Increased Blood Glucose Stimulates Insulin secretion
![Page 17: 997388 the-pancreas](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c1010d4a7959ff6d8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
2. Other Factors That Stimulate Insulin Secretion:a. Amino Acid – most potent are arginine and lysine- potentiates strongly the glucose stimulus for insulin secretion
b. Gastrointestinal Hormones – Gastrin, Secretin, cholecystokinin, Gastric Inhibitory Peptide
c. Other Hormones- Glucagon, Growth Hormone, Cortisol, Progesterone and
Estrogen d. Autonomic Nervous System
-Stimulation of the parasympathetic nerves to the pancreas can increase insulin secretion
![Page 18: 997388 the-pancreas](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c1010d4a7959ff6d8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Role of Insulin in “Switching” Between Carbohydrate and Lipid Metabolism
GLUCAGON– a hormone secreted by the alpha cells of the islets of Langerhans when blood glucose concentration falls. Its important function is to increase blood glucose concentration thus is also called the Hyperglycemic Hormone.
![Page 19: 997388 the-pancreas](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c1010d4a7959ff6d8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Effects on Glucose Metabolism
Major Effects
1. breakdown of liver glycogen (glycogenolysis)
2.increased gluconeogenesis in the liver
![Page 20: 997388 the-pancreas](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c1010d4a7959ff6d8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Other Effects (when conc. rises above maximum normally found in the blood
1.activates adipose cell lipase- increasing fatty acids
available to the energy system of the body 2.inhibits storage of triglycerides in the liver
3. enhances the strength of the heart
4. increases blood flow in some tissues, esp. kidneys
5. enhances bile secretion
6. inhibits gastric acid secretion
![Page 21: 997388 the-pancreas](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c1010d4a7959ff6d8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
![Page 22: 997388 the-pancreas](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c1010d4a7959ff6d8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Regulation of Glucagon Secretion
a. Increased Blood Glucose Inhibits Glucagon Secretion
- the most potent factor that controls glucagonsecretion
- the effect of blood glucose conc. on glucagon secretion is in exactly the opposite direction from the effect of glucose on insulin secretion
b. Increased Blood Amino Acids Stimulate Glucagon Secretion (especially alanine and arginine)
![Page 23: 997388 the-pancreas](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c1010d4a7959ff6d8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
SOMATOSTATIN INHIBITS GLUCAGON AND INSULIN SECRETION
Factors Related to Ingestion of Food Stimulate Somatostatin Secretion:
1. Increased blood glucose2. Increased amino acids3. increased concentrations of GI hormones4. increased fatty acids
![Page 24: 997388 the-pancreas](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c1010d4a7959ff6d8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Inhibitory Effects of Somatostatin:
1. Acts on the islets of Langerhans to depress the secretion of insulin and glucagon
2. decreases the motility of the stomach, duodenum and gallbladder
![Page 25: 997388 the-pancreas](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c1010d4a7959ff6d8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
“ The Principal Role of Somatostatin” is to extend the period of time over which the food nutrients are assimilated into the blood
![Page 26: 997388 the-pancreas](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c1010d4a7959ff6d8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
SUMMAR Y OF BLOOD GLUCOSE REGULATIONMechanisms:
1. The liver functions as an important blood glucose buffer system2. Both insulin and glucagon function as important
feedback control systems for maintaining a normal glucose concentration3. Severe hypoglycemia stimulates the sympathetic nervous system
4. Growth hormone and cortisol are secreted in response to prolonged hypoglycemia, decreasing the rate of glucose utilization by most cells
![Page 27: 997388 the-pancreas](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c1010d4a7959ff6d8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Importance of Blood Glucose Regulation:
1. Glucose is the only nutrient that normally can be used by the brain, retina and germinal
epithelium of the gonads
2. Blood glucose should not too high (reasons) a. glucose exert a large amount of osmotic pressure in
the ECF causing cellular dehydration b. high levels of blood glucose concentration causes loss
of glucose in the urine c. causing osmotic diuresis by the kidneys d. long-term increase in blood glucose cause damage to
many tissues, esp. blood vessels. Vascular injury leads to heart attack, stroke, end-stage renal failure and blindness
![Page 28: 997388 the-pancreas](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c1010d4a7959ff6d8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
DIABETES MELLITUS
It is a syndrome of impaired carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism caused by either insulin lack or decreased sensitivity of the tissues to insulin
![Page 29: 997388 the-pancreas](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c1010d4a7959ff6d8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Types of Diabetes Mellitus:
1. Type 1 Diabetes- also called insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), is caused by lack of insulin secretion.
2. Type II Diabetes – also called non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) , is caused by decreased sensitivity of target tissues to insulin. This reduced sensitivity to insulin is often referred to as insulin resistance
![Page 30: 997388 the-pancreas](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c1010d4a7959ff6d8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Type I Diabetes- Lack of Insulin Production by Beta cells of the Pancreas
CAUSES:
1. Viral Infection or Autoimmune Disease – may be involved in the destruction of the beta cells
2. Heredity
Usual onset of Type I diabetes occurs at about 14 years of age thus is often called Juvenile diabetes mellitus
![Page 31: 997388 the-pancreas](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c1010d4a7959ff6d8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Principal Sequelae:
1. Increased blood glucose
2. Increased utilization of fats for energy and for formation of cholesterol by the liver
3. Depletion of the body’s proteins
![Page 32: 997388 the-pancreas](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c1010d4a7959ff6d8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Blood Glucose Concentration Rises to Very High Levels in Diabetes Mellitus
Increased Blood Glucose Causes Loss of Glucose in the Urine
Increased Blood Glucose Causes DehydrationOsmotic diuresis, polyuria, intracellular and
extracellular dehydration, inceased thirst(polydipsia)
![Page 33: 997388 the-pancreas](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c1010d4a7959ff6d8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Chronic High Glucose Concentration Causes Tissue Injury:
Blood vessels function abnormally resulting to inadequate blood supply to tissues
leading to risk of heart attack, stroke, end-stage kidney disease, retinopathy and
blindness, and ischemia and gangrene of the legs
![Page 34: 997388 the-pancreas](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c1010d4a7959ff6d8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Damage to tissues causing peripheral neuropathy (abnormal function of peripheral nerves, and autonomic nervous system dysfunction
Hypertension (secondary to renal injury) and arteriosclerosis (secondary to abnormal lipid metabolism)
![Page 35: 997388 the-pancreas](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c1010d4a7959ff6d8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Diabetes Mellitus Causes Increase Utilization of Fats and Metabolic Acidosis leading to coma and death
As a result the patient develops severe metabolic acidosis leading to coma and death
-Arteriosclerosis – increased deposition of cholesterol in the arterial walls
- Kussmaul breathing - rapid and deep breathing – physiologic compensation in metabolic acidosis
![Page 36: 997388 the-pancreas](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c1010d4a7959ff6d8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Diabetes Causes Depletion of Body’s proteins
- rapid weight loss and asthenia (lack of energy) despite of eating large amounts of food (polyphagia)
![Page 37: 997388 the-pancreas](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c1010d4a7959ff6d8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Type II Diabetes – Resistance to Metabolic Effects of Insulin
-more common than type I – to 90% of all cases of diabetes
-Onset occurs after the age of 30, often between 50 t0 60 years
- referred to as Adult Onset Diabetes- related mainly to the increasing prevalence of obesity,
the most important risk factor for type II diabetes in children as well as adults
Obesity, Insulin Resistance and “Metabolic Syndrome” Usually Precede Development of Type II Diabetes
![Page 38: 997388 the-pancreas](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c1010d4a7959ff6d8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Features of Metabolic Syndrome
1. Obesity, especially accumulation of abdominal fat
2. Insulin resistance3. Fasting hyperglycemia4. Lipid abnormality such as increased
triglycerides and decreased blood high – density lipoprotein – cholesterol
5. hypertension
![Page 39: 997388 the-pancreas](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c1010d4a7959ff6d8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Other Factors That cause Insulin Resistance and Type II Diabetes
1. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
2. Excess formation of glucocorticoids (Cushing Syndrome) or growth hormone (acromegaly)
Development of Type II Diabetes During Prolonged Insulin Resistance
![Page 40: 997388 the-pancreas](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c1010d4a7959ff6d8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

![Page 42: 997388 the-pancreas](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c1010d4a7959ff6d8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Physiologic Diagnosis of Diabetes Mellitus
1. Urinary Glucose
2. Fasting Blood Glucose and Insulin Levels
- in the early fasting blood glucose level is normally 80 to 90 mg/100 ml
-110 mg/100 ml to be the upper limit
![Page 43: 997388 the-pancreas](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c1010d4a7959ff6d8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
FBS above this value indicates diabetes mellitus- type I diabetes – plasma insulin levels are very low or undetectable during fasting and after a mealtype II diabetes – plasma insulin concentration is higher than normal
3. Glucose Tolerance Test
4. Acetone breath
![Page 44: 997388 the-pancreas](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c1010d4a7959ff6d8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
TREATMENT OF DIABETES:
A.Type I diabetes –administer enough insulin
B. Type II diabetes-dieting and exercise -drugs
![Page 45: 997388 the-pancreas](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c1010d4a7959ff6d8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Insulinoma – Hyperinsulinism
- occurs from an adenoma of an islet of Langerhans
- insulin shock and hypoglycemia
- as blood glucose level falls into the range of 50 to 70 mg/dl the CNS becomes excitable leading to hallucinations, extreme nervousness, trembles all over, breaks out in a sweat
