Term
Endocrine Pancreas Cells
Definition
beta, alpha, delta and PP (rare: D1 and enterochromaffin)
Term
Beta cell
Definition
produces insulin. Rectangular crystalline matrix, surrounded by a halo
Term
Alpha cell
Definition
glucagon, round granules with closely applied membranes and a dense center
Term
Delta cell
Definition
somatostatin, suppresses both insulin and glucagon release, large pale granules with closely applied membranes
Term
PP cell
Definition
pancreatic polypeptide, GI effects, small, dark granules, found outside of islets.
Term
D1 cell
Definition
VIP
Term
VIP (Vasoactive Intestinal Polypeptide)
Definition
induces glycogenolysis and hyperglycemia, stimulates GI guild secretion and causes diarrhea
Term
Enterochromaffin cell
Definition
serotonin, tumors cause carcinoid syndrome
Term
Diabetes is the leading cause of
Definition
end-stage renal disease, adult-onset blindness, non-traumatic lower extremity amputations
Term
Diabetes blood requirements
Definition
any > 200, fasting > 126 more than once, OGTT glucose greater than 200 after two hours
Term
DM I
Definition
autoimmune beta-cell destruction destruction
Term
DM II
Definition
insulin resistance
Term
Major insulin-responsive site
Definition
skeletal muscle
Term
GLUT-2
Definition
insulin-independent glucose-transporter
Term
Mechanism of insulin release
Definition
GLUT-2 ports glucose, ATP/ADP ratio increases, ATP-sensitive K+ activates, Ca influx, insulin secretion
Term
Insulin Receptor
Definition
Two alpha, Two beta. Beta: tyrosine kinase activity, autophosphorylation on activation, activates IRS1-4 and GAB1. alpha: is binding domain
Term
DM I genetics
Definition
HLA locus on 6p21 including HLA-DR3/4 and DQ8. CTLA4, PTPN22, CD25 (IL2R) polymorphisms
Term
DM I autoimmunity type
Definition
Failure of T-cell self-tolerance
Term
DM II genetics
Definition
transription factor 7-like2 (TCF7L2) on 10q, central obesity is a driving force
Term
NEFAs in DM II
Definition
inverse correlation between fasting non-esterified fatty acids and insulin sensitivity
Term
Adipokines in DM II
Definition
pro-hyperglycemic (resistin, RBP4) and anti-hyperglycemic (leptin, adiponectin: use AMPK pathway) are shifted to hyperglycemia
Term
Cytokines in DM II
Definition
TNF, IL-6, macrophage chemoattractant protein-1. Enhance insulin-insensitivity
Term
PPARgamma in DM II
Definition
adipocyte nuclear transcription factor for differentiation. Promotes anti-hyperglycemic adipokines. Loss-of-function mutations exist
Term
Beta-cell dysfunction in DM II
Definition
TCF7L2, amyloid replacement of islets
Term
Monogenetic DM II
Definition
Autosomal-dominant, early onset, non-obese, non-autoimmune, includes MODY.
Term
Monogenetic DM II examples
Definition
MODY2: (familial mild fasting hyperglycemia, glucokinase GCK); IPF1 (PDX1: insulin expression); Permanent neonatal diabetes: (KCNJ11, ABCC8 activates K+ channel); Maternally inherited diabetes: (mitochondrial DNA mutations, bilateral sensorineural deafness); insulin gene mutations
Term
DM II Receptor Mutations: Type A
Definition
PCOS/androgenemia, e.g. Lipoatrophic diabetes. Includes insulin resistance, diabetes, hypertriglyceridemia, acanthosis nigricans, hepatic steatosis. PPARG polymorphisms noted
Term
Acanthosis Nigricans
Definition
velvety hyperpigmentation of the skin
Term
Diabetes Complications
Definition
macrovascular/microvascular disease with atherosclerosis, glucotoxicity, glycation end products (RAGE), Protein Kinase C activation (PKC, DAG), Hyperglycemia and polyols (aldose reductase)
Term
DM I Morphology
Definition
Decreased Islets, Insulitis
Term
DM II Morphology
Definition
reduction in islet cell mass (subtle), amyloid deposition in islets
Term
Diabetic Nephropathy
Definition
glomerular lesions, renal vascular lesions, pyelonephritis. GBM thickening, mesangial sclerosis, Nodular glomerulosclerosis, necrotizing papillitis
Term
Nodular Glomerulosclerosis
Definition
also intercapillary , or Kimmelstiel-Wilson. Laminated nodules of matrix situated in the periphery of the glomerulus, mesangiolysis, fibrin caps, capsular drops, ischemia
Term
Necrotizing papillitis
Definition
Pyelonephritis pattern particular to DM.
Term
Polyphagia and weight loss increases suspicion of:
Definition
DM
Term
DM I key findings
Definition
Childhood, normal weight, decreased insulin, islet autoantibodies, DKA, MHC I/II linkage, Treg dysfunction, Insulitis, beta-cell depletion
Term
DM II key findings
Definition
adult, obese, increased insulin, Nonketotic hyperosmolar coma common, obesity genetics, amyloid
Term
Insulinoma
Definition
hypoglycemia w/ CNS manifestations, fasting and exercise precipitate. Extracellular amyloid, islet hyperplasia.
Term
Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome (Gastrinoma)
Definition
unresponsive PUD (unusual locations, treat with PPI), over half invasive or metastasized, anaplasia,
Term
Glucagonoma
Definition
mild DM, skin rash (necrolytic migratory erythema), anemia, perimenopausal women, high glucagon levels
Term
Somatostatinomas
Definition
DM, cholelithiasis, steatorrhea, hypocholrhydia, high somatostatin
Term
VIPoma
Definition
watery diarrhea, hypokalemia, achorhydria, WDHA syndrome, VIPemia
Term
