GLP-1 receptor agonists Flashcard Deck - 10 Cards

Flashcard 1: Which type(s) of diabetes may be treated with pramlintide (amylin analogs)? _____

Answer: T1DM and T2DM

Flashcard 2: Do GLP-1 agonists and/or DPP-4 inhibitors cause hypoglycemia as a possible side effect?_____

Answer: No

Flashcard 3: GLP-1 agonists can cause _____ as a possible side effect, as well as nausea and vomiting

Answer: pancreatitis

Flashcard 4: Exenatide and liraglutide are both examples of _____

Answer: GLP-1 agonists

Flashcard 5: GLP-1 agonists cause increased satiety via decreased _____

Answer: gastric emptying

Flashcard 6: mestranol

Answer: estrogen

Extra: hypognadism, ovarian failure, menstrual abnormalities, HRT in postmenopausal women, androgen-dependent prostate cancerestrogen receptor-positive breast cancer, hx DVTbinds estrogen receptorincreased risk of endometrial cancer, vaginal bleeding in postmenopausal women

Flashcard 7: Clomiphene mechanism of action (MOA)

Answer: SERM

Extra: Uses: Infertility and PCOS Mechanism: Partial agonist at estrogen receptors in hypothalamus; prevents normal feedback inhibition, increasing LH and FSH release which stimulates ovulation. Side effects: Hot flashes, ovarian enlargement, multiple pregnancy, visual disturbances.

Flashcard 8: tamoxifen

Answer: SERM

Extra: ER-positive breast cancerantagonist at estrogen receptor; specific for breast tissue

Flashcard 9: raloxifene

Answer: SERM

Extra: Clinical use: Osteoporosis (reduces bone resorption). \nMechanism: Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator (SERM). Agonist at bone; Antagonist at breast and uterus (no increased risk of endometrial cancer).

Flashcard 10: What are the clinical uses and mechanism of action of progestins?

Answer: Uses: contraception, endometrial cancer, abnormal uterine bleeding. Mechanism: binds progesterone receptor; reduces proliferation of endometrium, thickens cervical mucus.

Extra: Progestins (e.g., levonorgestrel, medroxyprogesterone) are used to oppose estrogen's effects on the endometrium, reducing the risk of endometrial hyperplasia/cancer. In contraception, they thicken cervical mucus to inhibit sperm penetration and may inhibit ovulation.
