Pancreatic Polypeptide ? F cells
Insulin
First isolated by Banting and Best in 1922
Insulin is a polyopeptide containing 2 amino
acid chains linked by di-sulfide linkage
It is synthesized in RER as preproinsulin
It is cleaved into proinsulin
Effect of insulin on carbohydrate
metabolism
Promotes muscle glucose uptake and
metabolism
Storage of glycogen in muscles
Promotes liver uptake, storage and use of
glucose
- Inactivates liver phosphorylase
- Increases activity of glucokinase
- Increases activity of glycogen synthesis
Promotes conversion of excess glucose into
fatty acids and inhibits gluconeogenesis in liver
Effect of insulin on Fat metabolism
Promotes fat synthesis and storage
- Increases transport of glucose into
hepatocytes
- Pyruvate is converted to acetyl co-A
- Fatty acids synthesized are used to form
triglycerides
Insulin activates lipoprotein lipase in the
capillary walls
Insulin deficiency causes lipolysis of storage
fats and release of free fatty acids
Effect of insulin on Protein
metabolism
Promotes protein synthesis and storage
- Stimulates transport of amino acids into the
cells
- Increases translation of mRNA
- Increases rate of transcription
- Inhibits protein catabolism
- Depresses gluconeogenesis
Insulin and growth hormone interact
synergistically to promote growth
Glucagon
It is a large polypeptide secreted by -cells
of islet of landerhans
It is called as hyperglycemic hormone
It is glycogenolytic, gluconeogenic, lipolytic
and ketogenic
It acts via Gs to activate adenylyl cyclase
and increase intracellular cAMP
Glucagon
Glucagon does not cause glycogenolysis in
muscle
It increases gluconeogenesis in liver and
elevates metabolic rate
It increases ketone body formation
The calorigenic action of glucagon is not due
to hyperglycemia but due to hepatic
deamination of amino acids
Large doses have inotropic effect on heart
stimulated
inhibited
Insulin-glucagon molar ratios
Insulin is glycogenic, antigluconeogenetic,
antilipolytic and antiketotic
Glucagon is glycogenolytic,
gluconeogenetic, lipolytic and ketogenic
stimulated
inhibited
Hypoglycemic unawareness
Functional hypoglycemia
Persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia of
infancy
Macrosomia
Diabetes Mellitus Type 1 and Type 2
