||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||




to move glucose into cells for energy, the body begins to metabolize fat; fatty acid
||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||

||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||




2. reduces glucose absorption in the gut
||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||




3. sensitizes insulin receptors in target tissues--increases glucose uptake
||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||




NOT METABOLIZED ||//\\||




SE: GI, lactic acidosis
||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||

,-Type II, prevention, PCOS, Gestational
||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||

||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||




glucagon release by inhibiting DPP-4 ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||




-DPP-4 is an enzyme that inactivates incretin hormones
||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||

||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||




release of insulin (2) suppress postprandial release of glucagon
||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||




Glucagon - correct answer✔✔increases glucose production in the liver ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||

, sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitor - correct answer✔✔"-gliflozin" ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||




SGLT-2 accounts for 90% of glucose reabsorption in the kidney
||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||




blocks reabsorption of filtered glucose, increasing urinary excretion of glucose
||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||




AE: hypoglycemia, UTI, vulvovaginal infection, dehydration
||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||




glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist - correct answer✔✔incretin mimetics ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||




-slow gastric emptying ||//\\|| ||//\\||




-stimulate glucose-dependent release o insulin ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||




-inhibit postprandial release of glucagon ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||




-suppress appetite ||//\\||




AE: hypoglycemia, renal impairment, fetal harm, pancreatitis
||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||




Sulfonylureas - correct answer✔✔glipizide, glyburide, glimepiride -stimulate release of insulin ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||




from pancreatic islet
||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||




>> bind with/block ATP-sensitive potassium channels in cell membrane, which causes influx
||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||




of calcium, leading to insulin release
||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||




AE: hypoglycemia ||//\\||




C-peptide - correct answer✔✔Product of proinsulin cleavage ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||
