The Endocrine Pancreas
Chapter 15
2
Pancreas EXOCRINE : secretion of enzymes for food digestion
ENDOCRINE: secretion of hormone for energy metabolism and fuel homeostasis in the body Fx of whole pancreas: related to the overall process of digestion, uptake and use of metabolic fuel
3
Pancreas contains 1 million islets.
Microscopic Anatomy of the Endocrine Pancreas The endocrine pancreas consists of cells known as islets of Langerhans. Pancreas contains 1 million islets. They compose 1-2% of total mass of total mass of pancreas.

Cell types: alpha = glucagon beta = insulin delta = somatostatin
Microscopic Anatomy of the Endocrine Pancreas Islets of Langerhans are numerous, small endocrine cell clusters having a rich blood supply. Beta Cell (center) Alpha Cell (rim) Cell types: alpha = glucagon beta = insulin delta = somatostatin 25% 60% Delta Cell Capillaries Fig 15-3, pg 455

Insulin has A and B chains linked by disulfide bonds.

C-peptide: index of insulin production
Proinsulin C-peptide excision release of A-B (insulin) plus C-peptide. C-peptide: index of insulin production
7
Insulin Insulin-containing vesicles release insulin by exocytosis; blood insulin is mostly free.
8
Stimulus for Insulin secretion
Glucose Plasma glucose (mg/100 ml) Blood insulin levels rise fold soon after blood glucose exceeds 100 mg/dl. Insulin Glucose very rapid and large increase in insulin secretion Plasma insulin (ng/ml) Fig 15-5, pg 457 Hours
9
Blood glucose Insulin secretion Plasma insulin Blood insulin is part of a feedback loop to maintain a constant blood glucose level. Glucose uptake into tissue Blood glucose Restoration of blood glucose to normal Fig 15-6, pg 457
10
Other factor that control insulin secretion
Amino and fatty acids mildly stimulate insulin release. GI hormone (gastrin/secretin) stimulate insulin release; anticipatory signal Parasympathetic stimulates insulin release; sympathetic or epinephrine inhibits. Glucagon and sulfonylureas stimulate release; somatostatin inhibits.
11
Synthesis by alpha cells: proglucagon glucagon
12
Stimulus for glucagon secretion
Glucagon secretion is highest at fasting; an opposite release pattern from insulin.
13
Other factor that control glucagon secretion
Amino acids stimulate glucagon and insulin release; blood glucose level are maintained after protein-rich meal. Fatty acids inhibit glucagon. Effect of insulin: Glucose inhibits glucagon secretion, but glucagon stays high if insulin is absent (diabetes).
14
Action of insulin and glucagon
Two primary hormones involved in regulating fuel homeostasis in the body. With two hormones, blood glucose level is maintained within narrow limits. What for?: CNS relies almost solely on glucose for its metabolic needs. vs. high level of blood glucose loss of water
15
Insulin: hormone of nutrient abundance
When influx of nutrient is high, insulin directs storage of fuels, suppressing mobilization of preexisting fuel stores.
16
Insulin membrane receptor has tyrosine kinase activity; targets are muscle, fat, and liver.
Insulin lowers blood glucose level very rapidly and effectively.
17
Except for brain and liver, tissues require insulin for facilitated diffusion glucose uptake.
Blood Cytoplasm Insulin stimulates glycogen synthesis in liver and muscle, and glycolysis in most cells. In liver, insulin inhibits gluconeogenesis.

Hormone sensitive lipase
Stimulates glucose uptake, lipogenesis, and lipid uptake in adipose; inhibits lipolysis. Lipid metabolisum Glucose Glucose -Glycerol-phosphate Triacylglycerols Blood AcetylCoA Hormone sensitive lipase Fatty acid synthesis Fatty acids Liver Glycerol Lipoproteins LPLipase Adipose cell Fig 15-8, pg 461 Stimulates uptake of lipoprotein
19
Insulin: protein metabolism 40% of total body protein is in muscle
Stimulates amino acid uptake and protein synthesis in muscle; inhibits proteolysis. In DM, net loss of protein. Blood Protein synthesis Amino acids Amino acids Protein Protein degradation Muscle Fig 15-9, pg 462

Glucagon increases blood glucose.
Glucagon has opposite cellular effects from insulin; works via cAMP; liver is main target. Glucagon increases blood glucose. Glycogen 1. Glycogenolysis Glucose Glucose 2. Gluconeogenesis Blood Liver Citric acid cycle 3. Glucose sparing Fig 15-10, pg 463
21
Glucagon stimulates liver lipolysis and ketogenesis; heart and muscle use ketones.

23
High protein, low carbohydrate meal Both insulin and glucagon
Concerted Effects High protein, low carbohydrate meal Both insulin and glucagon insulin: synthesis of protein while glucagon: maintain blood glucose level
24
Ex) if insulin secretion is deficient High blood glucose
Concerted Effects High I/G (as high as 30) produces anabolism; low I/G (as low as 0.5) produces catabolism. Ex) if insulin secretion is deficient High blood glucose Without insulin, glucagon secretion is not inhibited. I/G ration; high extremely high blood glucose
25
Concerted Effects Most body energy stores are fats; fats have high caloric density and hold no water.

High blood glucose deficiency in insulin action
Diabetes Mellitus High blood glucose deficiency in insulin action Type 1 : inadequate insulin secretion, insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). Type 2 : a relative lack of response by target tissue cells to insulin, non insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM).
32
IDDM patients must receive insulin injections.
Type 1 DM Low level of insulin 10% of all DM IDDM patients must receive insulin injections. . During adolescence, autoimmune beta cell loss; genetics + environment factor (maybe virus)
