Announcements

• Lab this week: Frog Reflexes– Review information on lab webpage

• Friday Quiz– Topics

• Thermoregulation and • Glucose Homeostasis and • Frog Reflexes

– Format• Powerpoint slides on screen• Multiple-multiple choice: choose all correct responses• Fill in the blank• About 10 questions

The Issues

• How do cells “know” which fuel to “burn?”• How do cells “know” when to synthesize

glycogen or lipids and when to break down glycogen or lipid?

• What is responsible for the transitions from the absorptive and post-absorptive states?

• How does glucose get into “sinks?”

Activates some enzymes, inactivates others

GLUT-4

Peptide hormone

Exercise via an undescribed mechanism

+

T1DM =beta cells fail to produce adequate insulin (5%)T2DM = target cells “resistant” (less responsive) to insulin

↑ plasma glucose →↑insulin secretion→↑glucose uptake into cells →↓ plasma glucose

Fig. 16.07Identify sensors, afferent pathway,integrator,efferent pathway,effectors

How is insulin secretion affected if plasma glucose is lower than set point?

Which cell types have insulin receptors?

Pha

se

Neurons don’t have insulin receptors, but do have Glucose transporters (not GLUT-4)

=GLUT-4

Absorptive Phase

Post-Absorptive Phase

?

The Integrator integrates multiple inputs

Glucose uptake, Storage, Lipogenesis

WHY?

Another hormone that regulates plasma glucose concentration

Glucagon prevails during post-absorptive phase

Transition from absorptive to post-absorptive phase?

Glucose-counterregulatory controls

(oppose effects of insulin)

GlucagonEpinephrineCortisol (permissive effect)Growth hormone (permissive effect)

Who Cares?

A Case Study

• On our website at• http://webs.wofford.edu/davisgr/bio342/oggt.htm

Oral Glucose Tolerance Test

• Overnight fast, no beverages other than water

• Fasting blood sample• Ingest 75 grams glucose• Blood samples every 0.5

hours for 3-5 hours• Plot plasma glucose

concentration over time• Compare curves
