NUR 228: Diabetes Mellitus Patho
Glucose a simple carbohydrate

Monosaccharide a single sugar, the most basic form of carbohydrate

Bodys main source of energy glucose

What is glucose involved with cellular respiration

Where does glucose travel blood and diffuses across the cell membrane

How is glucose stored as glycogen in the liver by insulin

when glucose levels start to fall after a meal
When will the liver release glucose back
into circulation

Glycolisis glucose catabolism in the cells

What does glycolysis produce? 2 molecules of pyruvic acid and net gain of 2 ATP

Gluconeogenesis production of glucose from lactate and amino acids

glucose production from non-carbohydrate components in the mitochondria
Why is gluconeogenesis important in
starvation

Glycogenolysis in the presence of glucagon, glycogen is released, by the liver, as glucose

Glycogenesis production of glycogen, in the liver, when there is excess carbohydrates

the pancreas, and the liver after that
What is most important in glucose
concentration

What is broken down into glucose everything we ingest- carbs, lipids, proteins

at the cell glucose is most pften the final substance that enters and gets converted
Glucose is fuel to ATP, mammals, fetus


Glucose in plants made from CO2 and H2O, stored as starch

Glucose cannot diffuse across the cell membrane and must be transported via
How is glucose transported across the cell
protein carrier molecules through facilitated diffusion.
membrane?

Glucose moves down the concentration gradient, from high to low concentration.
What is the direction of glucose movement
during facilitated diffusion?

In the GI tract and renal tubules, glucose moves with active transport using sodium-
What is the exception to glucose transport glucose co-transport against the concentration gradient.
in the GI tract and renal tubules?


The rate of insulin secretion controls glucose utilization and increases glucose
What role does insulin play in glucose
diffusion across the cell membrane by 10x or more.
utilization?

What is facilitated diffusion in relation to Facilitated diffusion refers to the movement of glucose that is aided by insulin.
glucose?

Glucose is phosphorylated, allowing cells to 'capture' it, which is irreversible in most
What happens to glucose once it enters
cells.
the cell?

The liver, intestinal epithelium, and renal tubular epithelial cells are exceptions
Which cells are exceptions to the
where glucose phosphorylation can be reversible.
irreversible phosphorylation of glucose?

Insulin facilitates the diffusion of glucose across the cell membrane, enhancing
What is the significance of insulin in
glucose uptake by cells.
glucose transport?

glucose immediately used for energy
Energy production (where glucose is
phosphorylated

What is released/produced in glycolysis 2 molecules of ATP, 2 mics of pyruvate

when there us oxygen present, pyruvate enters the krebs cycle in the mitochondria
Krebs cycle/citric acid cyles (aerobic conditions)


What is pyruvate converted to in anaerobic lactic acid
conditions

, NUR 228: Diabetes Mellitus Patho
Last stage of cellular metabolism electron transport system/chain

Where are most ATP molecules produced electron transport system/chain

What allows glucose to enetr the cell Glut4

Exocrine gland secretes digestive enzymes

Endocrine gland secretes hormones

What does the pancreas have exocrine and endocrine glands, islets of langerhans

Islets of langerhans alpha cells, beta cells, delta cells, F (pp) cells

glucagon
Alpha cells of islets of langerhans produce


Beta cells of islets of langerhans produce insulin and amylin

gastrin and somatostatin
Delta cells of islets of langerhans produce

pancreatic polypeptide
F (PP) cells of islets of langerhans produce


What do the islets of langerhans regulate CHO, protein and fat metabolism

Insulin antagonist glucagon

decreased blood glucose levels
What is glucagon stimulated by (alpha
cells)

What acts in the liver to increase glucose alpha cells (glucagon)

What acts in satiety amylin

What does amylin do delays gastric emptying and suppresses glucagon secretion

increased blood glucose, parasympathetic nervous system, amino acids (leucine,
What is insulin secretion stimulated by arginine, lysine), GI hormones


What does insulin do with cell surface binds and activates cell surface receptors
receptors

What does insulin binding and activating promotes cellular uptake of glucose
cell surface receptors do

What does insulin binding and activating intracellular transport of potassium, phosphate and magnesium
cell surface receptors facilitate in

What kind of hormone is insulin? anabolic

Anabolic hormone glucose uptake, stimulates protein and fat synthesis, decreased blood glucose

What inhibits breakdown of fat insulin

decreased glucose synthesis
increased glycogen synthesis
Insulin in the liver increased lipid accumulation
increased inflammation


increased hunger
decreased hepatic glucose production
Insulin in the brain decreased lipoprotein production


increased glucose metabolism
increased glycogen synthesis
Insulin in the peripheral muscle increased muscle mass
increased mitochondrial dysfunction


increased glucose metabolism, increased lipogenesis, increased inflammation,
Insulin in the adipose tissue increased M2 to M1 macrophage switch, decreased lipolysis
