Insulin The peptide hormone insulin regulates the uptake of glucose in cells. It produce hypoglycemic effect and plays an essential role in the therapy of diabetes mellitus. Insulin is the natural opponent of the hormone glucagon. The name insulin comes from the islet cells of the pancreas (pancreatic) that make up the insulin. Biochemistry Of Insulin Insulin is a macromolecule with a molecular weight of about 5,700 Dalton. It consists of 2 longer polypeptides, an A chain with 21 amino acids and a B chain with 30 amino acids. The two chains are connected to each other by disulfide bridges...

As a rule, he is largely asymptomatic, however, the disease can lead to complications for mother and child. The elevated blood glucose levels can often be reduced only by adjusting the diet. In order to supply the fetus with enough glucose, the mother’s body speaks naturally less well to insulin from the 2nd trimester of pregnancy. This has the consequence that the concentration of glucose in the blood increases. Women with gestational diabetes...

Gestational Diabetes Treatment The aims Gestational Diabetes treatment is to decrease the blood glucose levels and the risk for an increased birth weight and complications. After eight hours of fasting, the blood sugar levels should be below 95 mg / dl. Two hours after eating the blood sugar levels should not be higher than 120 mg / dl. For most affected pregnant women, the normal blood sugar levels can be achieved with the help of proper nutrition. If this is insufficient, than insulin is used to normalize the blood glucose level. The oral hypoglycemic agents (metformin, sulphonylureas, etc.) are so...

Gestational Diabetes Causes As gestational diabetes refers to a carbohydrate metabolism disorder that first appears during pregnancy or is detected.The causes of gestational diabetes are on the one hand depend on various pregnancy hormones, which lead to an increase in blood sugar levels (eg estrogen, human placental lactogen), on the other hand on the diet, which is often not optimal in pregnancy. The insulin secretion is more reduced at the beginning of pregnancy, but then rises considerably. The pancreas releases insulin at least 15 minutes delayed in the bloodstream. Type 2 diabetes are also changes the body cells so that the...

Cushing Syndrome Cushing’s syndrome is hormonal and also genetic disease which lead to Type 3 Diabetes and other disorders. In Cushing’s syndrome, the patient suffers from an excess amount of the body’s own cortisone. Cortisone is a vital hormone that is secreted in increases stress situations. It increases blood sugar levels and provides energy by stimulating the breakdown of prepared fat (lipolysis) and proteins (Proteinolyse) in the body. Thus by elevated blood glucose levels, the pancreas is continuously stimulated to produce insulin. After some time, this result in a reduced response of the cells to insulin (insulin resistance) and thus...

Acromegaly Or Hyperpituitarism Acromegaly is hormonal and also genetic disease which lead to Type 3 diabetes. Acromegaly or Hyperpituitarism indicates a pathological change of growth by a chronic somatotropin hormone. Acromegaly is a rare disorder, which is associated with an excess of growth hormone known as Somatotropin.Tumor of the pituitary gland is one of the main reason of hormonal over production so it is also related with genetic disorder. Acromegaly result in,increase in hands, feet, nose size, joint pain, hyperglycemia, hypertension and heart failure. The standard treatment is surgical removal of the tumor.The disease usually occure between the 45 t0...

Lipatrophischer Diabetes (Acquired Generalized Lipodystrophy) The Acquired generalized lipodystrophy, are also known as Lawrence syndrome or Lipatrophischer diabetes , belongs to a group Type 3 Diabetes.. It is characterized by insulin resistance with increased cardiovascular risks. In Lipatrophischer diabetes (Lawrence syndrome) is a selective loss of subcutaneous fat in the face, Amen, legs, palms and sometimes soles. Causes And Symptoms of Libatrophischer Diabetes More than 100 cases have been reported. The sex ratio is w: m = 3: 1. The clinical phenotype similar to that of Berardinelli-Seip syndrome, but the lipoatrophy appears secondarily in children, adolescents or adults, therefore the...

Type A syndrome The insulin resistance syndrome type A belongs to the group of extreme insulin-resistant syndromes (together with Leprechaunism, the Lipodystrophies, the Rabson-Mendenhall syndrome and the insulin resistance syndrome type B). Symptoms of Type A Syndrome It is characterized by the symptoms triad with Hyperinsulinemia Acanthosis nigricans (skin lesion with insulin resistance), Hyperandrogenism in women without Lipodystrophy and who are not overweight. The syndrome is rare, It is generally diagnosed in young women with marked signs of hyperandrogenism, while nigricans acanthosis lead men and boys . Causes of Type A Syndrome Occasional symptoms are a akromegaloides face and muscle...

LADA (Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults) Latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) is the autoimmune disease usually occurs in normal weight people over age of 30 years. The mechanism for LADA is similar to the classic Type 1 diabetes. It will destroy the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas by the own body’s cells the result is a lack of insulin. According to estimates, up to 10% percent of adult diabetics have a LADA diabetes before. First usually show only mild symptoms of diabetes, so there is also the likelihood of confusion with the Type 2 diabetes. However, it lacks the...
