TransporterTissues Glucose K m (mmol/ L) Function GLUT 1 All tissues, especially red cells, brain 1-2 Basal uptake of glucose; transport across the blood- brain barrier GLUT 2 B cells of pancreas; liver, kidney; gut 15-20 Regulation of insulin release, other aspects of glucose homeostasis GLUT 3 Brain, kidney, placenta, other tissues < 1 Uptake into neurons, other tissues GLUT 4Muscle, adipose  5 Insulin-mediated uptake of glucose GLUT 5Gut, kidney1-2Absorption of fructose

8. Schematic diagram of the insulin receptor

9. Endocrine effects of insulin (1) Effect on liver: Reversal of catabolic features of insulin deficiency Inhibits glycogenolysis Inhibits conversion of fatty acids and amino acids to keto acids Inhibits conversion of amino acids to glucose Anabolic action Promotes glucose storage as glycogen (induces glucokinase and glycogen synthase, inhibits phosphorylase) Increases triglyceride synthesis and very-low-density lipoprotein formation

10. Endocrine effects of insulin (2) Effect on muscle: Increased protein synthesis Increases amino acid transport Increases ribosomal protein synthesis Increased glycogen synthesis Increases glucose transport Induces glycogen synthase and inhibits phosphorylase

11. Endocrine effects of insulin (3) Effect on adipose tissue: Increased triglyceride storage Lipoprotein lipase is induced and activated by insulin to hydrolyze triglycerides from lipoproteins Glucose transport into cell provides glycerol phosphate to permit esterification of fatty acids supplied by lipoprotein transport Intracellular lipase is inhibited by insulin

12. Insulin preparation Rapid-acting Short-acting Intermediate-acting Long-acting Insulin delivery systems

13. Extent and duration of action of various types of insulin

14. Hazards of insulin use Hypoglycemia Insulin induced immunologic complication

20. Insulin secretagogues: Megli-tinides

21. Insulin Secretagogue: Megli-tinides Mechanism: Regulate potassium efflux through the potassium channels Have two binding sites One in share with sulfonylureas Other is unique Should be taken just before each meal

22. INSULIN SECRETAGOGUE: D-PHENYLALANINE DERIVATIVE Nate-glinide Acts through closure of the ATP- sensitive K + channel Ingested just before meals

23. Biguanides: Metformin Mechanism of action Inhibit gluconeogenesis Induction of glucose uptake in periphery Slowing the absorption of glucose Reduction of glucagon level Toxicity Gastrointestinal distress Lactic acidosis in some patients

24. Biguanides: Metformin Recommended as first-line therapy Has a half-life of 1.5–3 hours No protein bound No metabolism Excreted by the kidneys

25. Thiazo-lidine-diones Group drugs: Rosi-glitazone, Pio-glitazone Mechanism of action Increase target tissue sensitivity Activating: peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma nuclear receptor (PPAR-  receptor) Major site of Tzd action is adipose tissue Toxicity Fluid retention, MI, bone fracture, congestive heart failure Liver enzyme inducers Loss of bone mineral density

26. Thiazo-lidine-diones

27. Alpha glucosidase inhibitors: acarbose, miglitol Mechanism of action Inhibit  -glucosidase Delaying the digestion and absorption of starch and disaccharides Toxicity Flatulence, diarrhea, abdominal pain Contraindicated in patients with inflammatory bowel disease
