ENDOCRINE DISORDERS AND DIABETES MELLITUS Prof. Dr. Jan Škrha 3rd Department of Internal Medicine, First Faculty of Medicine, Charles University, Prague 47. Jahrestagung DDG, Stuttgart
Hormone influence on glucose metabolism Hormone overproduction insufficiency autonomous lacking h. activity (tumors) (inflammation) changes in insulin secretion/action
Hypopituitary gland - adrenal axisrelated to diabetes • Acromegaly • GH deficiency • Hypercortisolism (Cushing´s sy) • Cortisol deficiency • Primary hyperaldosteronism • Feochromocytoma
GH & Insulin resistance GH IR in the liver and muscle • increasedgluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis in the liver • decreasedglucoseuptake and utilisation in themuscles • lipolysisstimulation– FFA elevation - aggravated insulin resistance in the liver and muscle by Randlecycle • GH effectatpostreceptorlevel
Acromegaly and diabetes mellitus GH causes insulin resistance (related to IGF-I) IGT– in 15 – 36 % acromegalic patients DM(usually NIDDM) – in 15 – 30 % (56%) pts with acromegaly When DM diagnosed - acromegaly lasts 5-10 yrs GH suppression – decreasing IR, IRI, improved glucose tolerance
GH defficiency and glucose regulation Especially children with GHD are prone to severe hypoglycemia In insulin treated diabetic patients : newly developed GHD is associated with hypoglycemic episodes GH treatment in GHD adults – causes limited changes in plasma glucose and insulin levels
Hypercortisolism A. Endogenous 1. ACTH dependent - central - ectopic 2. ACTH independent - adenoma, carcinoma, bilateralhyperplasia B. Iatrogenous(the most frequent) daily and cummulative dose ofcorticoids
GC effects on glucose metabolism GS: insulin resistance in the liver and peripheral tissues at postreceptor level 1. decreasedglucosetransportationintocells, decreasedglucoseutilisation 2. increasedgluconeogenesisin the liver - inductionofkeygluconeogenicenzymesincreased protein catabolismin musclesincreasedlipolysis in adiposetissue - increaseofgluconeogenicsubstrates 3. increasedglycogensynthesis and decreasedglycogenolysis
Hypocorticalism and diabetes mellitus Ethiology: - peripheral – Addison´sdisease (in 80 % autoimmune, TBC, tumors, adrenex) - central (in hypopituitarism) AutoimmuneAddison´sdisease (AAD): - 2.5x more frequent in women, between 20.- 50. yrs • in 40 – 50 % APS II - Schmidt syndrome (+Hashimototyreoiditis, gonadalfailure, • IDDM in 10 %, vitiligo, pernicioseanemia, coeliacsprue) In 50 % AAD pts – in familiestyreoiditisor IDDM
Hypocorticalism developed in IDDM patient • increased insulin sensitivity, decreased insulin needs decreasedbloodglucoselevels (decreasedgluconeogenesis) Corticoidsubstitution: • increased insulin needs • decreasedhypoglycemiaepisodes Hypoglycemia !
Primary hyperaldosteronism and glucose metabolism • In about 50 %: mildimpairedglucose tolerance, DM israre • Insulin secretion in OGTT isdelayed and subnormal – caused by lowserumpotassiumlevel • K+improvement – improved insulin secretion
Pheochromocytoma Hyperglycemia: IGT in 30 up to 75 % Catecholamines: • Inhibitinsulin secretionby stimulated α2- adrenergicreceptors on B cells • Insulin resistance in peripheraltissue – impairedglucoseutilisation (β-adrenergicreceptors, atpostreceptorlevel) increasedFFA
Pheochromocytoma and glucose metabolism Catecholamines: • Glycogenolysisstimulation in the liver and muscles Gluconeogenesisstimulation- adrenalin • Lipolysisstimulation in adiposetissue - substratefor gluconeogenesis in the liver • Stimulationofglucagonsecretion
Pheochromocytoma treatment • Surgicalremoval – improved IGT to normal • Blockadeofα – adrenergicreceptors – improvedglucose tolerance and insulin secretion
Thyreotoxicosis Thyroxin: increases glucose production and release by the liver (glycogenolysis, gluconeogenesis, lipolysis, ketogenesis, proteolysis) increased insulin secretion peripheral insulin action: x x 0 IGT: 30-50 % DM: worsening of glucose control, increased lability and prone to ketoacidosis
Hyperandrogenism (PCOS) plasma testosterone plasma SHBG PCOS: insulin insensitivity dependent on weight a) normal weight - normal insulin sensitivity b) overweight and obese increased insulin secretion IGT or DM dependent on PCOS duration and individual genetic disposition
Insulinoma and diabetes Extremelyrare associationwith T2DM newlyoccuring severe hypoglycemiaespecially in thefastingstate (morning!) exclusionofthe influence of diabetes treatment (oral agents)
HYPOGLYCEMIC SYMPTOMS 1) neurogenic: sweating, palpitations, tachycardia, (adrenergic) anxiety 2) neuroglycopenic: a) neurologic: headache, impaired or double vision, decreased abbility to concentrate, impaired speech and consciousness, cramps, epilepsy b) psychiatric: unusual hesitation, temper changes (depression, euphory) impaired thinking
Algorithm of diagnosis inendocrine tumors Clinicalsuspition Biochemical examination Diagnosis confirmed Diagnosis unconfirmed Topographic localisation CT Angiography Endosonography Localisation confirmed Localisation unconfirmed Surgery Tumor removed Tumor unremoved Conservative treatment
Clinical background • < 1 % patients with DM or IGT have primarily other endocrinopathy • DM may help to disclose other endocrinopathy Treatment of endocrinopathy may improve diabetes control
Clinical remarks • endocrinopathies are associatedwithchanges in insulin action • IGT developesearlierthan DM • screeningofglucosechanges has to be done in patientswithendocrinopathies • improvementof insulin actionisthemaintaskfortreatment • normalizationofhormonalactivity has to beassociatedwithappropriatetreatmentofglucosemetabolism
Insulin action measurement (IR) A) „Gold standard“ Isoglycemic and euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamps (M, M/I, MCRG) B) Index IRIB x GlucoseB HOMA = 22.5
