Study Notes
Pancreatic Hormones
- Pancreatic hormones are not controlled by the pituitary gland.
- Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas.
- Glucose enters cells through facilitated diffusion.
- Glucose transporters, or GLUT, move glucose down its concentration gradient from the extracellular fluid (ECF) into the cell.
- This process does not require energy.
- Gut hormones, including gastric inhibiting peptide (GIP), gastrin, and cholecystokinin, can increase insulin release.
- Oral glucose stimulates insulin release more effectively than intravenous glucose.
- Insulin enhances glucose oxidation within body cells.
- Within the liver, insulin promotes glycogen synthesis and reduces glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis.
- Within skeletal muscle, insulin increases glycogenesis.
- Insulin promotes lipid (fat) storage in adipose tissue cells and the liver.
- Insulin inhibits lipolysis and ketogenesis.
Glucagon
- Glucagon is secreted by alpha cells in the pancreas.
- Glucagon is released in response to decreased blood glucose levels, such as during fasting.
- Glucagon is also triggered by certain amino acids, like alanine.
- Gut hormones, including CCK, gastrin, and GIP, also stimulate glucagon release.
