Problems with control of glucose metabolism Normal Glucose is 90 mg/dl or 0.9 g/l. For an individual with 4 liter blood volume, normal levels are 3.6 gm. Below 45 mg/dl may result in hypoglycemic shock (coma) Persistent level above 125 mg/dl indicates diabetes-results in renal, vascular, eye disease and periodontitis Lecture 17-Diabetes
Hyperglycemia Can Cause Serious Long-Term Problems Periodontal disease
Insulin Secretion by the -CellRoles of Glucose, K+, and Ca2+ Kir 6.2 Glucose entry Insulin secretion GLUT2 glucosetransporter Insulin secretory granules Glucokinase Ca2+ Glucose metabolism Ca2+ Ca2+ Ca2+ K+ ADP/ATP Ca2+ K+ K+ Calcium channel ADP/ATP SUR 1 K+ Potassium (KATP) channel KATP channel subunits: SUR 1=regulatory subunit; Kir 6.2=inward rectifying channel
Glucose stimulates the secretion of insulin and suppresses the secretion of glucagon. Insulin is synthesized in RER of beta cells and is packaged in to secretary vesicles in the golgi. Insulin secretion is initiated by increased ATP/ADP ratio within the cell. This condition closes membrane ATP sensitive K channel and depolarizes the cell. The voltage change opens up another channel-the Ca channel. The entry of Ca into the cell stimulated the first short phase. The second prolonged phase requires other signaling like the increased concentration of cytosolic long chain fatty acyl CoA molecules. Diacyl glycerol and protein kinase C signaling.

Symptoms of Periodontal disease Milky white or yellowish plaque deposits, which are usually heaviest between teeth. Gums that have pulled away from the teeth, leaving more of the crown of the tooth exposed and eventually some amount of the tooth root. Red and swollen gums that bleed, often during brushing or flossing • Offensive and foul odor from the oral cavity • Burning sensation in the mouth or the tongue • Dry mouth-sores, infection, ulcers and tooth decay • Delayed wound healing
Learning Objectives lecture 17 What are plasma glucose concentrations in physiologically normal, pre-diabetic and diabetic individuals? What is the mechanism of insulin release from the beta cells? How is this release affected in type I and type II diabetics? How does metabolism change in diabetic individuals? How does high concentration of plasma glucose modify membrane function? What is a glucose tolerance test and how it interpreted?
