TDP Of Insulin

 Time Dependent Potentiation of Insulin secretion 
Glucose causes time dependent potentiation(TDP) of insulin secretion; that is exposure of islets beta cells to high glucose enhances insulin release in response to the stimulus applied later. Metabolizable amino acids and the glycolytic intermediates, glyceraldehyde show similar enhancement of insulin secretion. Conversely, non-metabolizable secretagogues, such as sulfanylurea(SU) and high K+, do not prime the beta cells in this TDP manner. In contrast merabolic inhibition abolishes TDP by glucose and the amino acids. Therefore metabolic stimulus, the mitochondrial intermediates in the case of amino acids, is required for TDP. Pharmacological activation of protein kinase C (pkC) by phorbolester also timedependently potentiates insulin secretion.             
    The beta cell priming by glucose through TDP manner occurs in a KATP channel independent manner. TDP also occurs under stringent Ca2+ free conditions.

Why oxytocin and vasopressin called as 'neuro hormone'?

  Why Oxytocin and Vasopressin called as 'neuro hormone'?      -souti das                            The posterior pitutary secretes two hormone oxytocin and vasopressin(ADH).The hormones are synthesized within the cell bodies of large magnocellular neurons lying in the supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei (PVN) of the hypothalamus.                            The posterior pituitary hormones are transported in association with specific proteins, called neurophysins , along the axons of the neurons to end in those nerve terminals which lie within the posterior lobe. Prior to secretion, these hormones are stored in secretory granules either in the nerve terminals or in the varicosites called herring bodies . The hormones are secreted in response to nerve impulses originating in the supraoptic and PVN and enter the capill...

A brief description of Keto diet

  Keto diet: How does this diet work: The establishment of the keto diet is if glucose (the simplest form of carbohydrate as well as the main source of energy in every animal) is deprived, which is gained by consuming carbs. The ketones are a substitution of glucose, which is synthesized from stored fat. Hence, the name is ketogenic. The neurocytes (The brain cells) need glucose approximately 120 grams per day because these cells cannot store glucose. When a person is fasting or consumes very little carbohydrates, at first the body pulls glucose from the liver and muscle glycogen. Glycogen breaks down from the liver and muscle into glucose through glycogenolysis by the influence of the hormone glucagon. During this time the level of insulin gets decreased in the blood. The body starts utilizing fat as its primary fuel. When formed ketone bodies begin to accumulate in the organs as well as in the blood, the condition is called ketosis. Mild ketosis is usually experienced by e...
