are there increased or decreased amino acids in the circulation with increased insulin?

decreased (increased uptake)

by what type of cells are carcinoid tumors caused by? where are they usually located?

neuroendocrine cells; GI

even though there is hyperkalemia in DKA there is a depleted intracellular potassium. explain.

though there is a hyperkalemia due to transcellular shift from acidosis, there really is an intracellular depletion because of the osmotic diuresis pulling potassium out (like sodium)

parafollicular C cells

pancreatic buds; in the tail of the pancreas

decreases aldosterone; causes even more hyponatremia and seizures!; slowly (cerebellar pontine myelinosis)

in secondary there will be no skin hyperpigmentation and no hyperkalemia or met acidosis or hypotension because aldosterone is controlled by RAAS not ACTH; deficiency in ACTH production

either surgical removal of the aldosterone secreting tumor or spironolactone (an aldosterone antagonist that is a potassium sparing diuretic)

which tissues use the GLUT 2 receptor?

B islet cells, small intestine, kidney, liver

why does hyperkalemia result in DKA?

because of hydrogen shift into cells and potassium out (to help with acidosis)

why does because lower extracellular calcium hypocalcemia cause levels depolarizes the membranes tetany? making them easier to get to AP by decreasing the threshold poteential and causes contraction why does increased T3 increase the body temp

increased BMR via Na+/K+ ATPase

why does insulin resistance occur in excess GH?

because GH causes gluconeogenesis and the hyperglycemia causes insulin intolerance (same as DM)

why does PTH increase calcium but decrease phosphate?

because PTH is the master of calcium- all it wants to do increase free serum calcium and bone resorption causes increase of both phosphate and calcium and in order to get more free calcium need to get rid of phosphate

why do steroids have slow onset of action?

because protein synthesis from the need of gene transcription to make them (their receptors are transcription factors that either are in the cytosol or nucleus)

why do you see increased sex hormones in deficiencies of 21hydroxylase and 11B hydroxylase?

because intermediates in the zona glomerulosa and fasciculata that build up can get into reticularis via progesterone intermediates

why do you see skin hyperpigmentation in primary Addisons? where can you see the hyperpigmentation?

because increased ACTH production (from lack of negative feedback) results in increased MSH also (both have POMC precursor); on the buccal mucosa and skin

why is the HR increased in T3? RR?

increased B1; increased O2 consumption

why is their hyperglycemia in cushings? why skin changes and osteoporosis? why amenorrhea, hirsuitism, acne?

d/t gluconeogenesis and decreased insulin; decreased collagen synthesis; increased androgen: estrogen ratio

434.

why is there a dilutional hyponatremia seen in DKA?

in DKA glucosuria induced osmotic diuresis causes a dilutional hyponatremia effect that pulls sodium out

435.

why is there orthostatic hypotension in cushings?

...

436.

Why might a hashimotos patient be hyperthyroid?

because initial destruction of follicular cells can cause a release of thyroid hormone

437.

why would nephrotic syndrome and cirrhosis result in because loss of IV protein results in loss of IV osmotic pull and loss of hyperaldosteronism? volume extravascularly with bone resorption, other than calcium and phosphate is released?

hydroxyproline

439.

with what disease states are pheos associated with?

VHL, NF 1, MEN 2A and MEN 2B

440.

with what is a parathyroid adenoma associated with?

MEN I, MEN IIA

with what neoplasias is Zollinger Ellison syndrome associated?

MEN I
