,Week 21: Obesity, metabolic syndrome and diabetes mellitus type II
Diabetes mellitus
Type I diabetes Type II diabetes
Definition Autoimmune disorder Often an cause of obesity
Presentation Usually slim, young people Usually obese, middle-aged people
Onset Sudden Gradual
Pathway Destruction of the β-cells by the Decreased insulin sensitivity
immune system → no more Lowered production of insulin
production of insulin
Complications Vascular:
Blindness
Myocardial infarction
Coronary heart disease
Amputations
Kidney failure
After >5-15 years after diagnosis
→ 20% presents with complications at diagnosis
Prevention Keep blood sugar stable
LADA = latent autoimmune diabetes of the adult
Type II diabetes is complicated:
Important: a lot of diseases people develop are comorbidities of obesity
Epidemiology: huge rise since 1985
Obesity lowers life expectancy: 8-10 years
Pathophysiology of appetite and food intake:
Causes of obesity:
• Genetic: e.g. FTO gene and MC4R (most frequent mutation)
• Hypothalamic
• Endocrine
• Medication
• Mental disorders

, • Lifestyle
The endocrine gut
Hormone Production Function
Gastrin Duodenum (G cells) Stimulate production of
stomach acid and motility
CCK Duodenum, jejunum (I cells) Stimulates bile and pancreatic
juice secretion
Secretin Duodenum, jejunum ( S cells) Stimulates HCO3- secretion
Inhibits gastrin
Vasoactive intestinal Enteric nervous system Stimulates water and
polypeptide (VIP) electrolyte secretion from the
gut
Motilin Throughout the gut Increases small intestine
motility
Gastric inhibitory Duodenum, jejunum (K cells) Stimulates insulin release
polypeptide
Somatostatin Stomach, small intestine and Inhibits digestive hormones
pancreas (D cells)
Ghrelin Stomach Hunger
Growth hormone release
Gastrin Stomach Acid secretion
Insulin Pancreas Uptake of glucose by the cells
Glucagon Pancreas Storage of glucose in the form
glycogen
Pancreas polypeptide Pancreas Gastric motility
Satiation
Amylin Pancreas Glucose homeostasis
Gastric motility
GLP-1 Intestines Incretin activity
Satiation
GLP-2 Intestines GI-motility and growth
Oxyntomodulin Intestines Satiation
Acid secretion
PYY Intestines Satiation
Leptin Adipose tissue Satiation
