  8. Glucagon • Main regulator- glucose amino acids • incretins • Insulin • fatty acids • ketones

  12. The endocannabinoid system is a modulatory system • Endocannabinoids: • Synthesized on demand from lipid precursors in postsynaptic cell • CB1 receptors: • Play a key role in energy balance and lipid and glucose metabolism Di Marzo V et al, 2005; Di Marzo V et al, 1998; Wilson R et al, 2002

  13. Central and peripheral targets of the endocannabinoid system Brain Peripheral tissues Adipose Liver Muscle tissue GI tract Hypothalamus: Nucleus accumbens: ^ ^ hunger motivation to eat Insulin resistance ^ HDL-cholesterol Triglycerides ^ Increased food intake Glucose uptake Increased fat storage Adiponectin HDL: high-density lipoprotein Bensaid M et al, 2003; Pagotto U et al, 2005; Osei-Hyiaman D et al, 2005; Di Marzo V et al, 2005; Liu YL et al, 2005

  14. Regulation of glucose Homeostasis • Na dependent transporters in proximal tubules of kidneys cotransport glucose with sodium maintained by Na+/K+-ATPase ion pump

  15. Glucose homeostasis • Is a balance of glucose appearance and disappearance • Glucose appearance: endogenous glucose production (liver, muscle and kidneys) exogenous sources (GIT) affected by feeding signals • Glucose disappearance peripheral uptake from liver, muscle and fat

  16. Current Diagnosis of Prediabetes and Diabetes

  17. Definition of Diabetes • A metabolic dysregulation • Hallmark: hyperglycemia • Basic defects: • Islet cell dysfunction • Insulin insensitivity • Impaired action of insulin on target tissues

  18. Definition of Diabetes • Chronic hyperglycaemia associated with long-term damage to: • Eyes • Kidneys • Nerves • Heart and blood vessels

  19. Hyperglycemia Stages Diabetes Mellitus Impaired Glucose Tolerance or Impaired Fasting Glucose (Pre-Diabetes) Normal Glucose Regulation Type Not insulin requiring Insulin requiring for control Insulin requiring for survival Type 1 * Type 2 Other Specific Type * Gestational Diabetes **

  20. Diagnostic Criteria For DM American Diabetes Association 2003 ADA, Diabetes Care 2009

  21. Hba1c • Integrated summary of circadian blood glucose in the preceding 6-8 weeks • Not used as diagnostic test for diabetes • Lack of standardized analytical method and therefore lack of a uniform non diabetic reference level between laboratories • Insensitive in the low range • Normal aic cannot exclude diabetes or IGT

  22. Issues on current diagnostic cut off • 3 studies on which FPG of 7.0 cutoff was based for diagnosis of diabetes used direct ophthalmoscopic examination and one retinal photograph • Diabetes Prevention Program showed substantial prevalence of retinopathy below FPG of 7.0 • Cardiovascular complications occur at lower glucose levels • Definition and classification of diabetes and pre states should be based on the level of subsequent risk of cardiovascular complications class 1 level B ESC,EASD 2007

  23. Relation between FPG and retinopathy BMES AusDiab MESA • FPG 5.3 6.5 5.9 • (Mean) • Number 364 210 959 • (%) with (11.5) (9.3) (15.8) Retinopathy • Lancet 2008

  24. Blue Mountains Eye Study (5-year incident retinopathy) Any retinopathy Percentage Fasting plasma glucose (mmol/L) Relation between baseline FPG and incident retinopathy, BMES

  25. Recommendation • Current diagnostic criteria remain the best tools for now.

  26. Mechanisms of Glucose Dysregulation and Development of Type 2 Diabetes

  27. Genetics • 39% of patients with type 2 diabetes have at least one parent with the disease • Among monozyzgotic twin pairs with one affected twin, approximately 90% of unaffected twins eventually develop the disease • First degree relative of patients with type 2 diabetes frequently have impaired nonoxidative glucose metabolism long before they develop type 2 diabetes • Ethnic predilection

  28. Environment • Low birth weight • Gestational diabetes • Prematurity • Sedentary lifestyle • High fat diet

  29. Physiologic & Molecular basis of Diabetes • Physiologic islet cell dysfunction insulin resistance • Molecular insulin receptor Insulin signal transduction

  30. Beta-Cell Function Is Abnormal in Type 2 Diabetes • A range of functional abnormalities is present • Abnormal oscillatory insulin release • Increased proinsulin levels • Abnormal insulin response • Progressive loss of beta-cell functional mass Adapted from Buchanan TA Clin Ther 2003;25(suppl B):B32–B46; Polonsky KS et al N Engl J Med 1988;318:1231–1239; Quddusi S et al Diabetes Care 2003;26:791–798; Porte D Jr, Kahn SE Diabetes 2001;50(suppl 1):S160–S163.

  33. Increased Beta-Cell Apoptosis Occurs in Type 2 Diabetes * *p<0.05. Islet cell death was assessed by an ELISA method, which evaluates the cytoplasmic histone-associated DNA fragments. After incubation absorbance of samples was read spectrophotometrically. Data obtained from pancreatic islets isolated from 6 T2DM organ donors and 10 nondiabetic cadaveric organ donors. Adapted from Marchetti P et al. J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2004;89:5535–5541.

  34. Amylin • Amylin co-secreted with insulin • Low amylin levels in type 2 diabetes • cause or effect is unclear

  41. Insulin Action • decrease in number of insulin receptors • any disruption in the transcription or transduction of insulin signaling pathway

  42. Summary • Glucose metabolism is tightly regulated to maintain desirable glucose levels • Glucose dysregulation leads to progressive dysglycemia from prediabetes to frank diabetes • The pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes is complex. • Involves multiple physiologic and molecular disturbances influenced by multiple genes and environmental factors • This offers multiple target sites for therapy and explains the complexity of treatment of DM2
