  1. Anatomy and physiology of t2d • Lesson Seven • Today we will… • Make a human body poster that shows how t2d affects organs and body systems • Look at treatment options for different symptoms of t2d • Evaluate costs of prevention and treatment options for t2d

  2. Lesson 7 “If current trends continue, 1 in 3 U.S. adults will have diabetes by 2050.” Center for Disease Control and Prevention http://www.cdc.gov/chronicdisease/resources/publications/aag/ddt.htm

  3. Organs affected by type 2 diabetes • http://www.diabetes.co.uk/body/

  4. Organs/body parts we will focus on: Heart Kidneys Brain Eyes Extremities (i.e. feet) • http://www.diabetes.co.uk/body/

  5. Three mechanisms Three ways type 2 diabetes damages cells and organs: Polyol Pathway Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs) Atherosclerosis

  6. Polyol Pathway Cells in the kidney, eye, and nerves take up glucose in the absence of insulin Water flows into the cell and can cause the cell to burst (think of a water balloon). Inside the cell, glucose is converted to a substance (sorbitol) which builds up because it cannot get out. This is a key mechanism for nerve and retina damage

  7. 2. Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs) Glucose attaches to proteins AGEs AGEs protein protein glucose AGEs cross-link proteins and contribute to tissue stiffness in heart, bone and muscle. AGEs protein AGE damage can also make small blood vessels leaky This is a key mechanism for eye and kidney damage.

  8. 3. Atherosclerosis Large blood vessels also become leaky due to AGEs Layers of fat and cholesterol start to accumulate along the vessel walls. This makes the blood vessel stiff and narrows the channel. Atherosclerosis leads to high blood pressure, causing the heart to work harder. This is a key mechanism for heart failure and stroke. It also contributes to kidney failure.

  9. Polyol Pathway TREATMENT Cells in the kidney, eye, and nerves take up glucose in the absence of insulin Water flows into the cell and can cause the cell to burst (think of a water balloon). Inside the cell, glucose is converted to a substance (sorbitol) which builds up because it cannot get out. Can the enzyme that converts glucose into sorbitol be inhibited? Still working on it… This is a key mechanism for nerve and retina damage

  10. 2. Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs) TREATMENT Glucose attaches to proteins AGEs AGEs protein protein glucose AGEs cross-link proteins and contribute to tissue stiffness in heart, bone and muscle. AGEs protein AGE damage can also make small blood vessels leaky Drugs that inhibit the formation of AGEs have been tested, but…none have been shown to reduce kidney damage. Yet. This is a key mechanism for eye and kidney damage.

  11. 3. Atherosclerosis TREATMENT Large blood vessels also become leaky due to AGEs Layers of fat and cholesterol start to accumulate along the vessel walls. Balloon angioplasty can help to open narrow vessels This makes the blood vessel stiff and narrows the channel. Atherosclerosis leads to high blood pressure, causing the heart to work harder. This is a key mechanism for heart failure and stroke. It also contributes to kidney failure.

  12. Pathways to organ damage in type 2 diabetes TREATMENT Chronic Elevated Blood Glucose Large blood vessel damage Capillary damage Nerve damage EYES LIMBS KIDNEYS HEART BRAIN
