Transcript
Hormonal control of circulating nutrients
Overview:
The need for glucose and nutrient homeostasis
Interchange of nutrients / fuel stores
Insulin:
secretion
mechanism of action (resistance)
effects: CHO, fat protein
special sites
Counter regulatory hormones
Glucagon: control of secretion
effects: CHO, fat, protein
Cortisol
Adrenalin
Growth hormone
Balance
Insulin & glucagon from pancreatic islets
insulin
Supply of
nutrients
constant
Nutrient
availability
in blood
glucagon
Time
with insulin & glucagon this is converted to:
Balance between insulin : glucagon (+ others)
Converts irregular food supply into a near constant
supply of nutrients
Homeostasis
Blood glucose concentrations 35 mmol/L
Consequences of hypoglycemia ( blood glucose)
CNS: (unable to use fatty acids for energy)
disorientation,
hunger,
decreased consciousness
convulsions
coma
death
Early warning – features due to adrenalin release,
sympathetic stimulation
eg fast pulse, tremor, sweating
Hyperglycemia ( blood glucose)
 urine flow, dehydration
intracellular dehydration eg CNS
Long term: glycation of proteins
 functional complications
Nutrients in diet
Bloodstream
Endogenous nutrient stores
Eating:

Fasting:

 Glucagon + others

Liver

Pyruvic acid
Acetyl CoA

tissue
Fatty acids
Ketone bodies
Skeletal
muscle
Ketone bodies
Amino acids
Relative amounts of energy stored as glycogen (1800kcal
vs fat (140,000kcal) and protein (41,000kcal).
Glycogen  glucose (but only liver able to release
stored glucose  blood)
Inability to convert fatty acids into glucose – but
 the oxidation of fatty acids inhibits the oxidation
of glucose so glucose is not wastefully oxidised
 glycerol released from lipolysis is converted into
glucose by gluconeogenesis in the liver
 ketone bodies formed from fat oxidation can be
used as an alternate to glucose by many tissues
Protein  amino acids  glucose via gluconeogenesis
Stimulators of insulin secretion
 Glucose concentration
 Amino acid concentration
Food intake
— GI hormones
— parasympathetic stimulation
 Blood glucose

Gastrointestinal
hormones
Major control
Islet  cells

Sympathetic
stimulation (and
epinepherine)
Insulin secretion
Parasympathetic
stimulation
Blood glucose
Blood fatty acids
Blood amino acids
Protein synthesis
Fuel storage
Somatostatin
Phenytoin
Thiazide diuretics
“Folded”
proinsulin
Golgi ---------- converting enzmes
Secretion Granule
Plasma insulin as a function of time following a
rapid increase in blood glucose to 3-fold normal
Insulin release
Portal circulation
Intestine
liver
Liver exposed to higher conc of insulin (and
glucagon) than peripheral tissues
Insulin Action
 Tyrosine kinase
Response depends on
adequate insulin, normal receptors,
normal cellular responsiveness
Insulin — anabolic
 Uptake
 Storage
 Breakdown of stored nutrients
Insulin effects on
Glucose
 Uptake
esp. muscle, fat tissue:
glucose transporter  cell membrane
facilated diffusion
 Glycogen synthesis
 Glycogenolysis
Insulin effects on
Fats
 Uptake:
( low density lipoprotein receptor)
 Fat as triglyceride
 Fat breakdown
Insulin effects on
Proteins
 Amino acid uptake
 Protein synthesis
Protein breakdown

Liver

Also  ketone

Cells
Special sites cont:
Kidney – insulin has no effect on glucose
transport.
Glucose
Filtered  blood glucose conc.
reabsorbed
Transport max.
If excess glucose filtered.
Not all reabsorbed
Urine
Glucose = osmotic diuretic
 water reabsorption
Large volume sweet urine =
Diabetes mellitus
polyuria
polydipsia
Special sites:
Brain – absolutely depends on glucose
mostly glucose transport
is insulin independent,
except satiety centre
Intestine – glucose absorption is
insulin independent
Muscle – glucose uptake with exercise is
insulin independent
Fasting:
releases “counter regulatory hormones”
Glucagon (pancreatic islets)
Adrenalin
Cortisol
Also released by stress
Growth hormone *
All antagonize insulin actions
* growth hormone does not
protein breakdown
Glucagon ( cells)
release stimulated by:
 Glucose
 Fatty acids
 Amino acids
(high protein, low CHO meal)
Catabolic:
 release stored nutrients
CHO:  Glycogen breakdown
 Gluconeogenesis (liver)
Amino acids: Protein breakdown liver
Fats: Lipolysis
