Diabetes Mellitus
23
2. Non-Insulin-Dependent Diabetes
Mellitus (NIDDM):
> 90%, defects of insulin secretion
and action, insulin resistance.
Diabetes Mellitus Classification:
25
1. IDDM (type 1)
2. NIDDM (type 2) which cannot be
controlled by diet therapy or oral
hypoglycemic agents.
3. Diabetes with acute or severe
complication.
4. Diabetes accompanied severe infection,
wasting disease high fever, pregnancy,
trauma and operation.
5. Intracellular K+ deficiency.
Mechanism of Action
27
c. Insulin detemir
This insulin is the most recently developed
long acting insulin analog it has the most
reproducible effect of the intermediate and
long acting insulin and its use as associated
with less hypoglycemia than NPH insulin.
Insulin treatments of special circumstances:
35
A. Hypoglycemia
I. Insulin allergy
is a rare condition in which local or
systemic urticaria result from histamine
release from tissue mast cells sensitized by
anti-insulin IgE antibodies in severe cases
cause anaphylaxis.
II. Immune insulin resistance
That neutralize the action of insulin to
negligible extent develops in most insulin
treated patients

ORAL ANTIDIABETIC AGENTS
Insulin Secretagogues (Sulfonylureas )
41
Mechanism of action
To increase release from the pancreas
A reduction of serum glucagon levels and
closure of potassium channels.
First Generation of Sulfonylureas
42
Tolbutamide(Orinase®)
Chlorpropamide
(Diabinese®)
Tolazamide (Tolinase®)

43
Glyburide
(Micronase®)
-is metabolized in
liver into products with
very low hypoglycemic
activity.
Second Generation of Sulfonylureas
44
Glipizide(Glucotrol®)
-this agent should be
ingested 30 minutes before
breakfast because absorption is
delayed when the drug is taken
with food.
Glimepiride (Amaryl®)
Insulin Secretagogues:
45
MEGLITINIDE
Repaglinide (Prandin®) –
is the first member that
modulate beta-cell insulin
release by regulating
potassium efflux through
the potassium channels
previously discussed .
Insulin Secretagogues:
46
D-PHENYLALANINE
DERIVATIVE
Nateglinide (Starlix®) –
a D-phenylalanine
derivatives, is the latest
insulin secretagogue and
it stimulate very rapid and
transient release of insulin
from beta cells.

Pioglitazone(Actos®)- is metabolized by
CYP 2C8 and CYP 3A4 to active
metabolites a monotherapy combination
with metformin
Rosiglizone(Avandia®)- is approve for
use in type II diabetes as montherapy in
double combination therapy with biguanide
Alpha-Glucosidase Inhibitors
1. Acarbose (Precose®)
2. Miglitol (Glyset®)
Indication:
Used in individuals with significant postprandial
hyperglycemia.
Mechanism of Action:
Inhibition of the intestinal enzyme α-
glucosidase retards the degradation and thus
increase the absorption of carbohydrates.

ALDOSTERONISM
Primary aldosteronism usually results from the
excessive production of aldosterone by an adrenal
adenoma.
However, it may also result from abnormal
secretion by hyperplastic glands or from a
malignant tumor.
The clinical findings of hypertension, weakness,
and tetany are related to the continued renal loss
of potassium, which leads to hypokalemia,
alkalosis, and elevation of serum sodium
concentrations.

elements of the seminiferous epithelium but does not
significantly alter the endocrine function of the testis.
