Bromocriptine QR The Biologic Clock
Modern Insulin Resistant Man “Locked” IntoSeasonal Insulin Resistance Syndrome Physiology (Neuroendocrinology; Winter Condition All Year Long) Insulin resistance begets insulin resistance: hyperinsulinemia in hypothalamus reduces nutrient sensing via increased NE/5HT, overcoming normal spring rise in dopa/decreasing dopa in spring ADAPTIVE Insulin Resistance MAL-ADAPTIVE Insulin Resistance Cincotta AH. et al.

The Biologic Clock Integrator of Signals Uses DOPAMINE SCN Summer Winter Low Dopa Set PM-Winter High IR High Sympathetic tone Persistent High Dopa Set AM-Summer Low IR Low Sympathetic tone Maladaptive Hyperglycemia, high fat/sugar diets, altered sleep/wake cycles, no exercise, stress patients with genetically susceptible b-cell Diabetes Mellitus Afferent signals to SCN that maintain low dopa set include 1. persistent hyperglycemia, 2. high fat/ high sugar diet, 3. no exercise 4. altered sleep/ wake cycle, 5. stress
Bromocriptine QR: Proposed mechanism of action Morning administration (within 2 hours of waking) of AGENT Low dopaminergic tone in hypothalamus in early morning in diabetes Restoration of morning peak in dopaminergic activity (via D2 receptor-mediated activity) Corrects • Sympathetic tone • HPA axis tone Hepatic gluconeogenesis FFA and TG Insulin resistance Inflammation/hypercoagulation • Sympathetic tone • HPA axis tone Hepatic gluconeogenesis FFA and TG Insulin resistance Inflammation/hypercoagulation Decreased postprandial glucose levels Reduction in insulin resistance Day-long reduction in plasma glucose, TGs and FFAs Impaired glucose metabolism, hyperglycemia and insulin resistance Adverse cardiovascular pathology Fonseca.
