  5. Insulin:

  6. Chemistry:    * a small protein with molecular weight of 5808    * contains 51 amino acids    * arranged in 2 chains ( A & B ) linked by disulfide bonds/bridges    * stored crystals consisting of 2 atoms of zinc & 6 molecules of insulin    * contain 8mg of insulin/human pancreas (=200 units)

  7. Insulin secretion: -- respond to a variety of stimuli ( glucose, mannose, leucine, arginine & vagal activity)

  8. Insulin Degradation: -         2 main organs: liver – 60% kidney – 35-40% -         hydrolysis of the disulfide bonds  glutathione insulin transhydrogenase (insulinase ) -       half-life: 3-5 minutes Measurement of Circulating Insulin: -        radioimmunoassay permits detecton of insulin in picomolar quantities -        basal insulin values: 5-15uU/ml (30-90pmol/L) -        peak rise: 60-90uU/ml (360-540pmol/L)

  9. The Insulin Receptor:

  10. Transporters Tissues GlucoseKm (Mmo/L) Function GLUT 1 All tissues, esp.red cells, brain 1-2 Basal uptake of glucose; Transport across the BBB 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 4 Muscle, adipose 5 Insulin-mediated uptake of glucose GLUT 5 Gut, kidney 1-2 Absorption of fructose Effects of Insulin on its Targets A. Action of Insulin on Glucose Transporters:

  11. B.Action of Insulin on Liver -inhibits hepatic glucose production (decreases gluconeogenesis & glycogenolysis) -stimulates hepatic glucose uptake C.Effect of Insulin on Muscle -stimulates glucose uptake -inhibits flow of gluconeogenic precursors to the liver (alanine, lactate & pyruvate) D.Effect of insulin on Adipose Tissue -stimulate glucose uptake (amount is small compared to muscle) - inhibits flow of gluconeogenic precursor to liver (glycerol) and reduces energy substrate for hepatic gluconeogenesis (non-esterified fatty acids)

  12. A.Principal Types and Duration of Action 1.Short- and Rapid-acting insulins: =Regular insulin ( soluble crystalline zinc ) =Insulin lispro, Insulin aspart, insulin glulysine = Permit more physiologic prandial insulin replacement = Taken immediately before meal without sacrificing glucose control = With very fast onset (5-15 min, 10-20 min. & 30 minutes after SQ) and short duration (3-5 hours & 5-8 hours) = Peak serum values: 1 hour & 2 & 3 hours = The only type that should be administered intravenously = Useful in the management of diabetic ketoacidosis, surgery or during acute infection, and when the insulin requirement is changing rapidly

  13. 1.Intermediate-acting • a.LENTE INSULIN (insulin zinc suspension) • mixture of 30% semilente with 70% ultralente insulin  provide a combination of relatively rapid absorption with sustained long action • b.NEUTRAL PROTAMINE HAGEDORN or Isophane Insulin • absorption & onset of action is delayed by combining appropriate amounts of insulin & protamine • 6 molecules of insulin per molecule of protamine • 3. Long-acting insulins • a.ULTRALENTE INSULIN (extended insulin zinc suspension) • b.PROTAMINE ZINC INSULIN SUSPENSION • they have slower onset and a prolonged peak of action • recommended dose be split into 2 or more doses • c. INSULIN GLARGINE • soluble, “peakless, ultra-long-acting insulin analog • designed to provide reproducible, convenient, background insulin replacement • has a slow onset of action (1-1.5 hours) • achieves a maximum effect after 4-5 hours and maintained for 11-24 hours or longer • given once a day

  14. A Species of Insulin 1.Beef and pork insulins ØThe beef insulin differs by 3 amino acids, pork differs by 1 amino acid ØThe beef hormone is most antigenic 2. Human insulins Ø    Less expensive, less immunogenic Ø  Production by recombinant DNA techniques B.Purity of Insulin Ø    Chromatography C.Concentration 100 units/ml, 500 units/ml

  15. Insulin Delivery Systems A. Portable Pen Injectors Øto facilitate multiple SQ injections B.Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin Infusion Devices (CSII, Insulin Pumps) Øencouraged for individuals who are unable to obtain target control while on multiple injection regimens & where excellent glycemic control is desired, such as during pregnancy Øvelosulin (reg. insulin) & insulin aspart and lispro C.Inhaled Insulin Øhave a rapid route and a relatively short duration of action Øused to cover mealtime insulin requirements Øto correct high glucose levels

  16. Factors that Affect Insulin Absorption: -      site of injection: abdomen, buttock, anterior thigh, or dorsal arm -         type of insulin -         subcutaneous blood flow: massage, hot baths, or exercise -         smoking -         regional muscular activity at the site of the injection -         volume & concentration of injected insulin -         depth of injection Treatment With Insulin ØType 1 patients ØType 2 ØContraindication: advanced renal disease Elderly

  17. Complications of Insulin Therapy • A.Hypoglycemia • 1.Mechanisms and diagnosis • Øresult from a delay in taking a meal • Øunusual physical exertion • Ødosage error • ØCM: tachycardia, palpitations, sweating, tremulousness, hunger, nausea, convulsion, coma • ØTreatment: glucose administration • Glucagons 1 mg SQ or IM • Honey or syrup • B.Immunopathology of Insulin Therapy • 1.Insulin allergy • Øan immediate type of hypersensitivity (IgE-antibodies) • ØTx: antihistamines, corticosteroids & desensitization • 2.Immune insulin resistance (IgG antibodies) • Ø+ circulating antibodies that neutralize the action of insulin to a small extent • ØTx: switching to a lesser antigenic purified insulin • C.Lipodystrophy at injection sites • corrected by avoidance of that specific injection site or with liposuction – hypertrophy

  18. Oral Anti-diabetic Agents • 4 Categories: • Insulin secretagogues (sulfonylureas, meglitinides, • D-phenylalanine derivatives) • b.Biguanides • c.Thiazolidinediones • d.Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors

  19. Insulin Secretagogues: • A.Sulfonylureas • Mechanism of Action: • Øto increase insulin release from pancreatic B cells • Sulfonylureas bind to S receptorinhibits efflux of K+depolarizationopens a voltage-gated Ca++ channelresults in Ca++ influx and the release of preformed insulin • reduction of serum glucagon concentrations • Chronic adm’n of sulfonylureas to type 2 diabetics reduces serum glucagon levels • potentiation of insulin action on target tissues
