Document Summary
2. 4 describe the metabolic consequences of the two types of diabetes mellitus. Polyuria: peeing a lot and dilute urine. excess glucose in urine leads to decreased water resporpion in kidney = decreased blood volume and dehydraion. Polyphagia: excessive hunger (starving due to inability to use ingested carbs) Type 1 diabetes: less common, loss of b cells (no insulin producion at all), must take exogenous insulin. Type 2 diabetes: adult onset, reducion in insulin secreion, managed by lifestyle. 2. 5 list the various hepaic funcions associated with metabolism. Liver is complex organ over 500 metabolic funcions. Proceses every class of nutrients, plays major role in regulaion of plasma cholesterol levels. Carbohydrate metabolism: isomerizes monosaccharides to glucose, packages glucose as glycogen and fats, serves as a glucose store. Fat metabolism: primary site for b oxidaion (faty acids acetyl coa, generates ketone bodies from acetyl coa, generates lipoproteins for triglyceride transport, metabolizes cholesterol, bile salts. Protein metabolism: main site for a. a deaminaion.
