Insulin preparations and kinetics Flashcard Deck - 10 Cards

Flashcard 1: A metabolic adverse effect of mecasermin, a recombinant IGF-1, is _____

Answer: hypoglycemia

Flashcard 2: Protease inhibitors can result in hyperglycemia due to _____ resistance

Answer: insulin

Flashcard 3: Insulin Detemir and Glargine are characterized by _____ action and duration

Answer: long

Flashcard 4: GLP-1 analogs cause increased _____ release and satiety

Answer: insulin

Flashcard 5: 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 6: 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 7: tamoxifen

Answer: SERM

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

Flashcard 8: 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 9: 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.

Flashcard 10: What is the mechanism of action and primary clinical use of Mifepristone (RU-486)?

Answer: Competitive inhibitor at progesterone receptors; also glucocorticoid receptor antagonist.

Extra: Clinical use: Medical abortion (administered with misoprostol), Cushing syndrome. Side effects: Heavy bleeding, abdominal pain.
