digestive functions two important hormones: insulin and
glucagon (crucial for normal regulation of glucose, lipid, and protein metabolism)
other hormones: amylin, somatostatin, and pancreatic polypeptide
![Page 3: Insulin, Glucagon, and Diabetes Mellitus Prof. dr. Zoran Valić Department of Physiology University of Split School of Medicine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d055503460f949d8a29/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
1) acini (secrete digestive juices)
2) islets of Langerhans (secrete insulin and glucagon directly into the blood)
1-2 million islets of Langerhans (0.3 mm in diameter)
three major types of cells: alpha, beta, and delta cells
![Page 4: Insulin, Glucagon, and Diabetes Mellitus Prof. dr. Zoran Valić Department of Physiology University of Split School of Medicine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d055503460f949d8a29/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
![Page 5: Insulin, Glucagon, and Diabetes Mellitus Prof. dr. Zoran Valić Department of Physiology University of Split School of Medicine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d055503460f949d8a29/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
beta cells – 60%, lie mainly in the middle of each islet, secrete insulin and amylin
alpha cells – 25%, secrete glucagon delta cells – 10%, secrete somatostatin PP cells – present in small numbers, secrete
pancreatic polypeptide? insulin inhibits glucagon secretion, amylin
inhibits insulin secretion, and somatostatin inhibits secretion of insulin and glucagon

![Page 7: Insulin, Glucagon, and Diabetes Mellitus Prof. dr. Zoran Valić Department of Physiology University of Split School of Medicine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d055503460f949d8a29/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Insulin and Its Metabolic Effects
Banting and Best (1922) – isolated inzulin insulin has always been associated with
"blood sugar“, but it has profound effect on metabolism of fat (acidosis, arteriosclerosis) and proteins
insulin secretion is associated with energy abundance
![Page 8: Insulin, Glucagon, and Diabetes Mellitus Prof. dr. Zoran Valić Department of Physiology University of Split School of Medicine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d055503460f949d8a29/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
excess amounts of carbohydrates cause increase in insulin secretion
insulin stores the excess carbohydrates as glycogen (liver and muscles)
inzulin stores adipose tissue inzulin promotes amino acid uptake by cells
and conversion of amino acids into protein inzulin inhibits the breakdown of proteins
![Page 9: Insulin, Glucagon, and Diabetes Mellitus Prof. dr. Zoran Valić Department of Physiology University of Split School of Medicine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d055503460f949d8a29/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Insulin Chemistry and Synthesis
small protein (5808) it is composed of two amino acid chains
connected by disulfide linkages spliting of the chains – loss of activity translation of the insulin RNA by
ribosomes preproinsulin (11500) in the ER proinsulin (9000) in Golgi apparatus insulin and the C chain peptide
![Page 10: Insulin, Glucagon, and Diabetes Mellitus Prof. dr. Zoran Valić Department of Physiology University of Split School of Medicine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d055503460f949d8a29/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
![Page 11: Insulin, Glucagon, and Diabetes Mellitus Prof. dr. Zoran Valić Department of Physiology University of Split School of Medicine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d055503460f949d8a29/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
![Page 12: Insulin, Glucagon, and Diabetes Mellitus Prof. dr. Zoran Valić Department of Physiology University of Split School of Medicine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d055503460f949d8a29/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
circulates almost entirely in an unbound form
plasma half-life averages only about 6 min cleared from circulation within 10 to 15 min degraded by the enzyme insulinase mainly
in the liver, to a lesser extent in the kidneys and muscles
![Page 13: Insulin, Glucagon, and Diabetes Mellitus Prof. dr. Zoran Valić Department of Physiology University of Split School of Medicine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d055503460f949d8a29/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Activation of Target Cell Receptors and Resulting Effects
activation of membrane receptor protein autophosphorylation of beta subunits
activation of tyrosine kinase phosphorylation of multiple other intracellular enzymes including a group called insulin-receptor substrates (IRS)
![Page 14: Insulin, Glucagon, and Diabetes Mellitus Prof. dr. Zoran Valić Department of Physiology University of Split School of Medicine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d055503460f949d8a29/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
![Page 15: Insulin, Glucagon, and Diabetes Mellitus Prof. dr. Zoran Valić Department of Physiology University of Split School of Medicine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d055503460f949d8a29/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
after few seconds 80% of cells increase their uptake of glucose (muscle and adipose cells)
cells become more permeable for many amino acids, potassium and phosphate ions
within 10-15 min change in activity of many intracellular metabolic enzymes
within few hours or days – rates of translation and transcription
![Page 16: Insulin, Glucagon, and Diabetes Mellitus Prof. dr. Zoran Valić Department of Physiology University of Split School of Medicine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d055503460f949d8a29/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Inzulin Muscle Glucose Uptake and Metabolism
muscle tissue depends on fatty acids, resting muscle membrane is only slightly permeable to glucose
1) moderate or heavy exercise – fibers more permeable in absence of insulin
2) few hours after a meal (BGC is high and pancreas is secreting large quantities of insulin)
![Page 17: Insulin, Glucagon, and Diabetes Mellitus Prof. dr. Zoran Valić Department of Physiology University of Split School of Medicine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d055503460f949d8a29/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
if the muscles are not exercising after a meal, glucose is stored in the form of muscle glycogen (2-3%)
spurts of anaerobic energy insulin facilitates glucose transport through
the muscle cell membrane
![Page 18: Insulin, Glucagon, and Diabetes Mellitus Prof. dr. Zoran Valić Department of Physiology University of Split School of Medicine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d055503460f949d8a29/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
![Page 19: Insulin, Glucagon, and Diabetes Mellitus Prof. dr. Zoran Valić Department of Physiology University of Split School of Medicine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d055503460f949d8a29/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
![Page 20: Insulin, Glucagon, and Diabetes Mellitus Prof. dr. Zoran Valić Department of Physiology University of Split School of Medicine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d055503460f949d8a29/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Insulin Liver Uptake, Storage, and Use of Glucose
storing most of glucose in the form of glycogen after a meal and its release between two meals
1) inactivates liver phosphorylase (glikogen)
2) increasing the activity of glucokinase (initial phosphorylation of glucose)
3) increase activity of glycogen synthase about 5-6% of the liver mass (100g)
![Page 21: Insulin, Glucagon, and Diabetes Mellitus Prof. dr. Zoran Valić Department of Physiology University of Split School of Medicine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d055503460f949d8a29/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Glucose Release Between Meals
1) pancreas decrease its insulin secretion
2) stopping synthesis of glycogen and preventing uptake of glucose in the liver
3) lack of insulin & increase of glucagon activates phosphorylase (splitting of glycogen into glucose phosphate)
4) activation of glucose phosphatase (spliting of phosphate radical, diffusion of glucose)
![Page 22: Insulin, Glucagon, and Diabetes Mellitus Prof. dr. Zoran Valić Department of Physiology University of Split School of Medicine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d055503460f949d8a29/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
insulin promotes conversion of excess glucose into fatty acids (lipoproteins – fat)
inzulin inhibits gluconeogenesis (decreasing the quantities and activities of the liver enzymes and availability of precursors required for gluconeogenesis)
![Page 23: Insulin, Glucagon, and Diabetes Mellitus Prof. dr. Zoran Valić Department of Physiology University of Split School of Medicine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d055503460f949d8a29/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Lack of effect of insulin on glucose uptake and usage by brain
most of the brain cells are permeable to glucose and can use glucose without the intermediation of insulin
only glucose for energy when the BGC falls too low (1-3 mmol/L) –
hypoglycemic shock (nervous irritability, fainting, seizures, and even coma)
![Page 24: Insulin, Glucagon, and Diabetes Mellitus Prof. dr. Zoran Valić Department of Physiology University of Split School of Medicine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d055503460f949d8a29/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Effect of Insulin on Fat Metabolism
not quite as visible, but equally important long-term effect of insulin lack – extreme
atherosclerosis (MI, cerebral strokes) insulin promotes fat synthesis and storage
increases the utilization of glucose (fat sparer)
promotes fatty acid synthesis (in liver):
![Page 25: Insulin, Glucagon, and Diabetes Mellitus Prof. dr. Zoran Valić Department of Physiology University of Split School of Medicine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d055503460f949d8a29/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
1) insulin increases transport of glucose into liver cells (glucose pyruvate acetyl-CoA fatty acids)
2) excess of citrate and isocitrate ions formed by citric acid cycle when excess amounts of glucose are being used for energy activation of acetyl-CoA carboxylase
3) formation of triglycerides and release from liver cells in form of lipoproteins; insulin activates lipoprotein lipase in adipose tissue
![Page 26: Insulin, Glucagon, and Diabetes Mellitus Prof. dr. Zoran Valić Department of Physiology University of Split School of Medicine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d055503460f949d8a29/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Storage of Fat in Adipose Cells
1) insulin inhibits the action of hormone-sensitive lipase (hydrolysis of the triglycerides in fat cells)
2) insulin promotes glucose transport through the cell membrane into the fat cells; forms large quantities of α-glycerol phosphate (base for glycerol)
![Page 27: Insulin, Glucagon, and Diabetes Mellitus Prof. dr. Zoran Valić Department of Physiology University of Split School of Medicine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d055503460f949d8a29/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Insulin Deficiency Increases Use of Fat for Energy
hormone-sensitive lipase in the fat cells becomes strongly activated (release of fatty acids and glycerol into circulating blood)
increases plasma cholesterol and phospholipid concentrations (3x increase in plasma lipoproteins)
ketosis and acidosis (acetoacetic acid – acidosis, β-hydroxybutyric acid & acetone)
![Page 28: Insulin, Glucagon, and Diabetes Mellitus Prof. dr. Zoran Valić Department of Physiology University of Split School of Medicine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d055503460f949d8a29/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
![Page 29: Insulin, Glucagon, and Diabetes Mellitus Prof. dr. Zoran Valić Department of Physiology University of Split School of Medicine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d055503460f949d8a29/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
![Page 30: Insulin, Glucagon, and Diabetes Mellitus Prof. dr. Zoran Valić Department of Physiology University of Split School of Medicine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d055503460f949d8a29/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Effect of Insulin on Protein Metabolism and on Growth
1) insulin stimulates transport of many amino acids into the cells (valine, leucine, isoleucine, tyrosine, and phenylalanine)
2) increases translation of mRNA ("turns on" the ribosomal machinery)
3) increases transcription of DNA (enzymes)
4) inhibits catabolism of proteins (lysosomes)
5) depresses gluconeogenesis (enzymes)
![Page 31: Insulin, Glucagon, and Diabetes Mellitus Prof. dr. Zoran Valić Department of Physiology University of Split School of Medicine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d055503460f949d8a29/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
insulin and growth hormone interact synergistically to promote growth
insulin is essential for growth two hormones function synergistically to
promote growth each promotes cellular uptake of a different
selection of amino acids, all of which are required for growth
![Page 32: Insulin, Glucagon, and Diabetes Mellitus Prof. dr. Zoran Valić Department of Physiology University of Split School of Medicine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d055503460f949d8a29/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
![Page 33: Insulin, Glucagon, and Diabetes Mellitus Prof. dr. Zoran Valić Department of Physiology University of Split School of Medicine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d055503460f949d8a29/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Mechanisms of Insulin Secretion
response to increased BGC glucose transporters (GLUT 2) in beta cells glucose is phosphorylated to glucose-6-
phosphate by glucokinase “rate limiting step” ATP is formed – inhibits KATP channels
(sulfonylurea) – opening Ca channels – exocytosis of inzulina
![Page 34: Insulin, Glucagon, and Diabetes Mellitus Prof. dr. Zoran Valić Department of Physiology University of Split School of Medicine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d055503460f949d8a29/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
![Page 35: Insulin, Glucagon, and Diabetes Mellitus Prof. dr. Zoran Valić Department of Physiology University of Split School of Medicine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d055503460f949d8a29/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Control of Insulin Secretion
formerly, it was believed that insulin secretion was controlled almost entirely by BCG
![Page 36: Insulin, Glucagon, and Diabetes Mellitus Prof. dr. Zoran Valić Department of Physiology University of Split School of Medicine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d055503460f949d8a29/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
![Page 37: Insulin, Glucagon, and Diabetes Mellitus Prof. dr. Zoran Valić Department of Physiology University of Split School of Medicine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d055503460f949d8a29/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
increased BGC stimulates insulin secretion at BGC 4,5-5,0 mmol/L (80-90 mg/100 ml)
– lučenje 25 ng/min/kg increase in BGC insulin secretion increases
markedly in two stages
![Page 38: Insulin, Glucagon, and Diabetes Mellitus Prof. dr. Zoran Valić Department of Physiology University of Split School of Medicine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d055503460f949d8a29/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
![Page 39: Insulin, Glucagon, and Diabetes Mellitus Prof. dr. Zoran Valić Department of Physiology University of Split School of Medicine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d055503460f949d8a29/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
![Page 40: Insulin, Glucagon, and Diabetes Mellitus Prof. dr. Zoran Valić Department of Physiology University of Split School of Medicine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d055503460f949d8a29/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
feedback relation between BGC and insulin secretion rate
BGC of 20-30 mmol/L (400-600 mg/100 ml) insulin secretion is reaching a peak (10-25x basal level)
![Page 41: Insulin, Glucagon, and Diabetes Mellitus Prof. dr. Zoran Valić Department of Physiology University of Split School of Medicine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d055503460f949d8a29/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
![Page 42: Insulin, Glucagon, and Diabetes Mellitus Prof. dr. Zoran Valić Department of Physiology University of Split School of Medicine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d055503460f949d8a29/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
![Page 43: Insulin, Glucagon, and Diabetes Mellitus Prof. dr. Zoran Valić Department of Physiology University of Split School of Medicine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d055503460f949d8a29/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Other Factors That Stimulate Insulin Secretion
1) amino acids (arginine & lysine; little alone, but combined with BGC x2; important)
2) gastrointestinal hormones (gastrin, secretin, cholecystokinin, GIP; amplify the action of glucose; anticipatory effect)
3) other hormones and autonomic nervous system (glucagon, hGH, cortisol, progesterone and estrogen; prolonged secretion – exhaustion of beta cells)
![Page 44: Insulin, Glucagon, and Diabetes Mellitus Prof. dr. Zoran Valić Department of Physiology University of Split School of Medicine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d055503460f949d8a29/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Switching Between Carbohydrate and Lipid Metabolism
insulin promotes use of carbohydrates for energy, depresses the utilization of fats
control – BGC hGH, cortisol – are secreted in response to
hypoglycemia, inhibit cellular utilization of glucose while promoting fat utilization
epinephrine – increasing both (BGC and fatty acids)
![Page 45: Insulin, Glucagon, and Diabetes Mellitus Prof. dr. Zoran Valić Department of Physiology University of Split School of Medicine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d055503460f949d8a29/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Glucagon and Its Functions
alpha cells of the islets of Langerhans increase BGC large polypeptide (3485); composed of a
chain of 29 amino acids hyperglycemic effect/hyperglycemic
hormone
![Page 46: Insulin, Glucagon, and Diabetes Mellitus Prof. dr. Zoran Valić Department of Physiology University of Split School of Medicine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d055503460f949d8a29/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Effects on Glucose Metabolism
breakdown of liver glycogen (glycogenolysis; adenylyl cyclase cAMP protein kinase phosphorylase b phosphorylase a degradation of glycogen into glucose-1-phosphate dephosphorylation BGC; amplifying mechanism)
![Page 47: Insulin, Glucagon, and Diabetes Mellitus Prof. dr. Zoran Valić Department of Physiology University of Split School of Medicine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d055503460f949d8a29/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Effects on Glucose Metabolism
increased gluconeogenesis in the liver (increase in the rate of amino acid uptake by the liver cells and then the conversion of many of the amino acids to glucose by gluconeogenesis (pyruvate phosphoenolpyruvate))
![Page 48: Insulin, Glucagon, and Diabetes Mellitus Prof. dr. Zoran Valić Department of Physiology University of Split School of Medicine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d055503460f949d8a29/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Other Effects of Glucagon
activation of adipose cell lipase inhibition of storage of triglycerides in liver in high concentrations :
enhances the strength of the heart, increases blood flow in some tissues, especially the kidneys, enhances bile secretion, inhibits gastric acid secretion
![Page 49: Insulin, Glucagon, and Diabetes Mellitus Prof. dr. Zoran Valić Department of Physiology University of Split School of Medicine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d055503460f949d8a29/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Regulation of Glucagon Secretion
increased BGC inhibits glucagon secretion (exactly opposite from effect of insulin)
increased blood amino acids stimulate glucagon secretion (same as insulin; alanine and arginine)
exercise stimulates glucagon secretion (4-5x, prevents a decrease in BGC)
![Page 50: Insulin, Glucagon, and Diabetes Mellitus Prof. dr. Zoran Valić Department of Physiology University of Split School of Medicine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d055503460f949d8a29/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)

Somatostatin Inhibits Glucagon and Insulin Secretion
delta cells, 14 amino acid polypeptide, extremely short half-life, extend the period of absorption, GHIH in hypothalamus
1) locally, depress secretion of both insulin and glucagon
2) decreases the motility of the stomach, duodenum, and gallbladder
3) decreases both secretion and absorption in the gastrointestinal tract
![Page 53: Insulin, Glucagon, and Diabetes Mellitus Prof. dr. Zoran Valić Department of Physiology University of Split School of Medicine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d055503460f949d8a29/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Importance of BGC Regulation
glucose is the only nutrient used by brain, retina, and germinal epithelium of gonads
most of the glucose between meals is used in the brain
glucose can exert high osmotic pressure (cellular dehydration), loss of glucose in urine, osmotic diuresis by the kidneys (loss of fluids and electrolytes), damage to many tissues, especially to blood vessels
![Page 54: Insulin, Glucagon, and Diabetes Mellitus Prof. dr. Zoran Valić Department of Physiology University of Split School of Medicine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d055503460f949d8a29/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Diabetes Mellitus
syndrome of impaired carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism, caused by either lack of insulin secretion or decreased sensitivity of the tissues to insulin
two general types : type I – insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus
(IDDM) type II – non-insulin-dependent diabetes
mellitus (NIDDM, insulin resistance)
![Page 55: Insulin, Glucagon, and Diabetes Mellitus Prof. dr. Zoran Valić Department of Physiology University of Split School of Medicine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d055503460f949d8a29/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
metabolism of all main foodstuffs is altered prevent the efficient uptake and utilization
of glucose by most cells of the body increase in BGC cell utilization of glucose falls increasingly
lower, and utilization of fats and proteins increases

Type I Diabetes
injury to beta cells or diseases that impair insulin production (viral infections or autoimmune disorders, heredity)
usual onset of type I diabetes occurs at about 14 years of age – juvenile diabetes mellitus
may develop abruptly (few days or weeks)
![Page 57: Insulin, Glucagon, and Diabetes Mellitus Prof. dr. Zoran Valić Department of Physiology University of Split School of Medicine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d055503460f949d8a29/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
increase in BGC to 17-66 mmol/L (300-1200 mg/100 ml :
loss of glucose in urine (BCG > 10 mmol/L) cell dehydration (osmotic transfer of water out
of the cells; osmotic diuresis extracellular dehydration)
chronic increase – tissue injury(MI, stroke, kidney failure, retinopathy ,blindness, and ischemia and gangrene of the limbs, peripheral neuropathy, autonomic nervous system dysfunction)

severe metabolic acidosis (excess keto acids) + dehydration = severe acidosis diabetic coma death
physiological compensations: rapid and deep breathing, decrease in bicarbonate
depletion of body's proteins (asthenia (lack of energy) despite eating large amounts of food (polyphagia))

Type II Diabetes
diminished sensitivity of target tissues to the metabolic effects of insulin – insulin resistance
far more common (90-95%) occurs after age of 30 – adult-onset diabetes in recent years – younger individuals
(increasing prevalence of obesity)
![Page 62: Insulin, Glucagon, and Diabetes Mellitus Prof. dr. Zoran Valić Department of Physiology University of Split School of Medicine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d055503460f949d8a29/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
increased plasma insulin concentration (hyperinsulinemia)
compensatory response by the pancreatic beta cells
in the early stages of the disease – moderate hyperglycemia; in the later stages – beta cells become "exhausted" or damaged – more severe hyperglycemia
![Page 63: Insulin, Glucagon, and Diabetes Mellitus Prof. dr. Zoran Valić Department of Physiology University of Split School of Medicine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d055503460f949d8a29/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)

gradual process, beginning with excess weight gain and obesity (fewer insulin receptors or abnormalities of the signaling pathways)
in some individuals pancreas is “used up” in the beginning – limitation of food intake,
decrease in body weight
![Page 65: Insulin, Glucagon, and Diabetes Mellitus Prof. dr. Zoran Valić Department of Physiology University of Split School of Medicine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d055503460f949d8a29/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
“metabolic syndrome”1) obesity, especially accumulation of abdominal fat
2) insulin resistance
3) fasting hyperglycemia
4) increased blood triglycerides and decreased blood high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol
5) hypertension
![Page 66: Insulin, Glucagon, and Diabetes Mellitus Prof. dr. Zoran Valić Department of Physiology University of Split School of Medicine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d055503460f949d8a29/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)

drugs that increase insulin sensitivity – thiazolidinediones
drugs that suppress liver glucose production – metformin
drugs that cause additional release of insulin by the pancreas – sulfonylureas
in the later stages of type II diabetes, insulin administration is usually required

Physiology of Diagnosis of DM
urinary glucose (qualitative & quantitative tests)
BGC (4,5-5,0 mmol/L – normala, 6,0 mmol/L gornja granica) & insulin levels
oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) – 1 g glucose / kg body mass

Treatment of Diabetes
insulin is available in several forms (regular, longer-acting insulins)
individualized pattern of treatment dieting and exercise animal / recombinant DNA lipid-lowering drugs to control high level of
blood cholesterol
![Page 74: Insulin, Glucagon, and Diabetes Mellitus Prof. dr. Zoran Valić Department of Physiology University of Split School of Medicine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d055503460f949d8a29/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
Insulinoma – Hyperinsulinism
excessive insulin production from an adenoma of an islet of Langerhans
much rarer than diabetes 10-15% of these adenomas are malignant –
tremendous production of insulin more than 1 kg of glucose have had to be
administered every 24 hours
![Page 75: Insulin, Glucagon, and Diabetes Mellitus Prof. dr. Zoran Valić Department of Physiology University of Split School of Medicine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d055503460f949d8a29/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
Insulin Shock and Hypoglycemia
insulin-secreting tumors or administration of too much insulin
BGC: 3-4 mmol/L – CNS becomes excitable, hallucinations, extreme nervousness, trembling, sweating
BGC: 1-3 mmol/L – clonic seizures and loss of consciousness
state of coma, permanent damage
