  1. Essentials of Pathophysiology Chapter 33Diabetes Mellitus and the Metabolic Syndrome

  2. Type 2 diabetes is more common than type 1. • All cells can use fatty acids interchangeably with glucose for energy. • Insulin is produced by the pancreatic beta cells in the islets of Langerhans. • Hyperglycemia is characterized by headache, difficulty in problem solving, disturbed or altered behavior, coma, and seizures. • Chronic complications of diabetes mellitus refer only to type 1 diabetes mellitus. Pre lecture Quiz T F T F F

  3. ______________ lowers the blood glucose concentration by facilitating the movement of glucose into body tissues. • Glucagon, a polypeptide molecule produced by the _____________ cells of the islets of Langerhans, maintains blood glucose between meals and during periods of fasting. • Type __________ diabetes mellitus is characterized by destruction of the pancreatic beta cells and is characterized by an absolute lack of insulin, an elevation in blood glucose, and a breakdown of body fats and protein. • The ________________ syndrome is a condition of abnormalities that are identified through specific criteria such as abdominal obesity, elevated triglycerides, elevated blood pressure, elevated fasting plasma glucose, and decreased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL). • Diabetic ____________________ occurs when ketone production by the liver exceeds cellular use and renal excretion. Pre lecture Quiz • Alpha • Insulin • ketoacidosis • Metabolic • one

  4. Anabolism and Catabolism available foodstuffs stored foodstuffs Anabolism (in blood) (in cells) insulin, anabolic steroids glucose glycogen Catabolism amino acids proteins glucagon, epinephrine, free fatty acids triglycerides cortisol liver can convert amino acids and free fatty acids into ketones

  5. Insulin and Glucagon Are the Main Controls Anabolism available foodstuffs stored foodstuffs insulin (in blood) (in cells) , anabolic steroids glucose glycogen Catabolism amino acids proteins glucagon , epinephrine, free fatty acids triglycerides cortisol liver can convert amino acids and free fatty acids into ketones

  6. Tell whether the following statement is true or false. Anabolic reactions release energy. Question

  7. False Rationale:Anabolic reactions use energy to build/produce/synthesize (like building proteins from amino acids). Catabolic reactions break down substances, releasing energy in the process (like digestion). Answer

  8. Two women have benign pancreatic tumors. • In one, the tumor is an insulinoma that secretes insulin • In the other, the tumor is a glucagonoma that secretes glucagon Questions: • What differences do you expect to see between these two women? Why? • Both of the women have arthritis, but only one is being treated with corticosteroids. Which one? Why is the other not receiving corticosteroids? Scenario

  9. The Pancreas pancreas exocrine endocrine pancreas pancreas releases digestive releases hormones juices through a into the blood duct to the duodenum

  10. endocrine pancreas: islets of Langerhans alpha beta cells delta cells PP cells cells insulin pancreatic glucagon somatostatin and amylin polypeptide

  11. Glucagon: causes cells to release stored food into the blood Insulin: allows cells to take up glucose from the blood Amylin: slows glucose absorption in small intestine; suppresses glucagon secretion Somatostatin: decreases GI activity; suppresses glucagon and insulin secretion Functions of Pancreatic Hormones

  12. Which pancreatic hormone decreases blood glucose levels? • Glucagon • Insulin • Amylin • Somatostatin Question

  13. Insulin Rationale:Insulin allows cells to take glucose from the blood and use it for energy/to make ATP. Because it stimulates movement of glucose out of the blood and into the cells, blood glucose levels decrease when insulin is released. Answer

  14. Think back on your day so far. • When do you think you had your highest insulin levels? • When do you think you had your lowest insulin levels? • When did you have your highest glucagon levels? Discussion

  15. Review the figure on insulin’s actions. • If someone lacks insulin, what happens to his: • Blood glucose levels? • Blood amino acid levels? • Blood pH? • Intracellular fat levels? • Intracellular protein levels? • Cell growth? Discussion

  16. Review the following diagrams on anabolism/catabolism and insulin’s mechanism of action. Questions: • Identify five things that could go wrong to cause increased blood glucose • Which of the cases you identified would be least likely to respond to insulin? Discussion

  17. Anabolism and Catabolism available foodstuffs stored foodstuffs Anabolism (in blood) (in cells) insulin, anabolic steroids glucose glycogen Catabolism amino acids proteins glucagon, epinephrine, free fatty acids triglycerides cortisol liver can convert amino acids and free fatty acids into ketones

  18. Type 1: pancreatic beta cell destruction predominantly by an autoimmune process • Type 2: a combination of beta cell dysfunction and insulin resistance • Other • Genetic defects in insulin production • Genetic defects in insulin action • Diabetes secondary to other diseases • Drug interactions • Gestational diabetes mellitus Types of Diabetes Mellitus

  19. Pathogenesis of Type 2 Diabetes

  20. Tell whether the following statement is true or false. Type 2 DM is more common than type 1 DM. Question

  21. True Rationale:Type 1 DM is autoimmune (juvenile diabetes is type 1), and affects only 5–10% of the diabetic population. Type 2 DM is associated with risk factors like obesity, poor diet, and sedentary lifestyle; 90–95% of diabetics suffer from this type. Answer

  22. Abdominal obesity Increased blood triglyceride levels Decreased HDL levels Increased blood pressure Increased fasting plasma glucose Metabolic Syndrome

  23. Treatments for Type 2 diabetes

  24. Diabetic ketoacidosis Hyperglycemic hyperosmolarnonketotic coma Hypoglycemia Somogyi effect Dawn phenomenon Acute Complications of Diabetes

  25. Discussion • How would hyperglycemia with ketoacidosis cause: • Heavy breathing? • Polyuria? • Dehydration? • Which of these would you not see in hyperglycemia without ketoacidosis? Acute Complications of Diabetes (cont.)

  26. You find a man collapsed on the sidewalk. • He is wearing a diabetic alert bracelet and has an insulin syringe in his briefcase Questions: • Does he need insulin? • Why or why not? • What signs might help you tell whether he has a hyperglycemic or hypoglycemic problem? Scenario

  27. Increased glucose levels allow glucose to bind to proteins in: • Hemoglobin  Hb A1C has higher O2 affinity • Basement membranes of blood vessels • Nephropathy • Retinopathy • May cause increased risk of atherosclerosis • Lens  cataracts Chronic Complications of Diabetes Mellitus (Porth, C. M. [2005]. Pathophysiology [7th ed.]. Lippincott Williams & Wilkins and Greenspan, F. & Gardner, D. G. [2004]. Basic and clinical endocrinology [7th ed.]. McGraw-Hill.)

  28. When blood glucose is high, increased blood osmolarity can cause cells to shrink Nerve cells produce intracellular osmoles to keep their osmolarity balanced with the blood Osmolarity in Diabetes Mellitus Hypotonic cell A shrinks A B Cell B is in osmotic balance (Porth, C. M. [2005]. Pathophysiology [7th ed.]. Lippincott Williams & Wilkins.)

  29. When the client brings blood glucose back to normal, the nerve cells are hyperosmolar to the blood and gain water, swelling Nerve damage may be caused by swelling, demyelination, and lack of O2 secondary to vascular disease Osmolarity in Diabetes Mellitus (cont.) A Cell A is in osmotic balance B Hypertoniccell B swells (Porth, C. M. [2005]. Pathophysiology [7th ed.]. Lippincott Williams & Wilkins.)

  30. Somatic neuropathy • Diminished perception of vibration, pain, and temperature • Hypersensitivity to light touch; occasionally, severe “burning” pain • Autonomic neuropathy • Defects in vasomotor and cardiac responses • Impaired motility of the gastrointestinal tract • Inability to empty the bladder • Sexual dysfunction Diabetic Neuropathy

  31. Which of the following is not a complication of diabetes mellitus? • Nephropathy • Retinopathy • Neuropathy • All of the above are complications of DM. Question

  32. All of the above are complications of DM. Rationale:Nephropathy and retinopathy are caused by increased blood glucose levels that cause binding of excess glucose to the basement membranes of the blood vessels of the kidneys and eyes. Neuropathy is due to swelling and demyelination of nervous tissue. Answer
