Insulin
Decreases Glucose level
Insulin is a hormone that causes maintenance of glucose
by oxidizing insulin is a polypeptide having 51 amino
acids with molecular weight of 6000.
A chain has 21 amino acids, B chain has 30 amino acids.
The A and B chains are held together by 2 disulphide
bonds.
Insulin is synthesized by β cells of pancreas.
Actions:
Inhibits gluconeogenesis
Increase glycogenesis
Decrease glycogenolysis
Increase glucose transport across cell membrane.
Skeletal muscle and fat are highly sensitive glucose entry
in liver brain RBC
WBC and renal cell is independent of insulin.
Normally acetyl coenzyme a is synthesized to fatty acid
and triglyceride but in diabetes acetyl coenzyme a is
converted to ketone bodies acetone (acetone acetate, beta
hydroxybutyrate) so ketonemia and ketonuria occurs.
Classification

Mechanism of action
1. The insulin act on specific receptors located on the cell
membrane of all cells, especially liver and fat cells are
very rich.
2. Insulin receptor is a heterotetrameric glycoprotein
consisting of two extracellular alpha and two
transmembrane beta subunits linked together by
disulfide bonds.
3. The alpha subunit carries insulin binding sites while
beta subunit has tyrosine protein kinase activity.
4. Binding of insulin to alpha subunits induced aggregation
and internalization of the receptors along with the
insulin molecule.
5. This activates tyrosine kinase activity of the beta subunit
to phosphorylate tyrosine residue of each other and then
of insulin receptor substrate protein (IRSPs).
6. In turn, a cascade of phosphorylation and dephosphorylation reaction is going on due to which there is
activation or inhibition of enzyme which involve in
rapid metabolic action of insulin.
7. Certain second messenger like phosphatidy linositol
tri-phosphate (PIP3) also mediate the action of insulin
on metabolic enzyme.
8. Through the phosphorylation cascade insulin activates
GLUT4 and promotes its translocation to the cell
membrane.
Pharmacological action
1. Carbohydrate metabolism:
z
Insulin decreased blood glucose level
z
Decreased glycogenolysis
z
Decreased gluconeogenesis
z
Promote glycogenesis in muscles
z
Liver and increase rate of utilisation of glucose.
2. Protein metabolism:
z
It promotes protein synthesis
z
Inhibit protein breakdown.
3. Fat metabolism:
z
Insulin promotes the synthesis of free fatty acid and
triglyceride and inhibit lipolysin.
4. It increases potassium entry into the cells.
5. It decreased urine output from liver.
Uses of insulin
a) In Juvenile diabetes it is essential.
b) In non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus—it is
required when
z
Diabetes is not controlled by diet or exercise.
z
When oral hypoglycemic fail.
z
Infection, trauma, surgery, pregnancy, and labour.
z
Gangrene of extremities.
z
Ketoacidosis.
Preparation of insulin
1) Conventional insulin preparation
z
It is derived from beef and pork pancreas.
z
Zinc and protamine are added for slow absorption
and longer duration of action.
z
Commonly used preparation is:
a) Regular insulin: SC, IV, IM
b) Lenteinsulin: SC
c) Isophane insulin: SC.
z
Fate: Insulin is degraded in GIT and hence not given
orally.
2) Highly purified insulin preparation--
z
They are non-antigenic and are indicated in insulin
resistance, diabetes undergoing surgery and trauma
and infection
Types
A. Single peak insulin: It is purified by gel filtration and
repeated crystallization. They contain 50–200 ppm
proinsulin.
B. Mono component insulin: After gel filtration it is further
purified by ion exchange chromatography.
C. Human insulin: They were produced by recombinant
DNA technology in E.coli.
The side effect of insulin
1. Hypoglycaemia
z
It is due to counter regulatory sympathetic stimulation,
sweating, anxiety, palpitation, tremor is common and
also due to brain deprivation of its essential nutrient
glucose. So, dizziness, headache, visual disturbances,
hunger, fatigue, decrease in blood pressure occur.
z
If sugar gets less than 40 milligram percentage then
coma occurs.
Treatment
Oral glucose or IV adrenaline injection
Glucagon
Local reaction
Swelling, erythema, lipodystrophy at the injection site
after prolonged use
Allergy
Treatment
a) Insulin: When an insulin drip is given, blood glucose
level should fall by 10% per hour. Routine therapy with
subcutaneous insulin is instituted when a patient is fully
conscious.
b) IV fluids: To correct dehydration.
c) KCL upto 400 milligram % of k+ is lost in urine during
+
ketoacidosis. Serum, k
is usually normal due to exchange
with intracellular store. When insulin is substituted
+
ketosis subsides and K
is driving, so dangerous
hypokalaemia can occur. So KCl should be instituted with
+
IVF and infusion depending upon serum K
and ECG.
d) NaHCO3: It is not routinely used. if arterial blood pH
is less than 7.1 acidosis of blood is not correct so it is
added. Bicarbonate infusion is continuous still blood
pH greater than 7.2.
e) Phosphate use is controversial.
f) Antibiotic.
3. Hyperosmolar coma (nonketotic coma):
Uncontrolled glycosuria of diabetes mellitus, diuresis,
dehydration and haemoconcentration urine output
decrease and glucose accumulation in blood rapidly
>800 ml/dl
Plasma osmolarity >350 mg/dl can lead patients to coma
and death can occur.
Treatment: of it is the same as ketoacidosis expect it needs
faster replacement.
Alkali (NAHCO3) not required.
It may lead to thrombosis so prophylactic heparin
therapy is recommended.
4. Insulin along with glucose is given IV to treat cyclic
vomiting in children.
Hyperemesis gravidarium, acute alcoholic intoxication.
5. To test for completeness of vagotomy: If vagotomy is
complete, gastric secretion fails to increase in response
to insulin hypoglycaemia.
Hyperglycaemic agent

somatostatin
Uses
1. Diabetes mellitus

2. Diabetic ketoacidosis (coma diabetic):

stroke, stress full condition in adequate dose of insulin
diabetic coma is seen in insulin dependent
Diabetic coma is seen in insulin-dependent diabetes
mellitus and less seen in non-insulin dependent diabetes
mellitus.
