The integration of energy metabolism is controlled primarily by insulin and the opposing actions of glucagon and epinephrine (Figure 23.16). Changes in the circulating levels of these hormones allow the body to store energy when food is available in abundance, or to make stored energy available, for example, during survival crises, such as famine, severe injury, and fight-or-flight situations. Insulin is a polypeptide hormone produced by the ! cells of the islets of Langerhans of the pancreas. The biosynthesis involves two inactive precursors, preproinsulin and proinsulin, which are sequentially cleaved to form the active hormone. A rise in blood glucose is the most important signal for increased insulin secretion. The synthesis and release of insulin are decreased by epinephrine, which is secreted in response to stress, trauma, or extreme exercise. Insulin increases glucose uptake (by muscle and adipose) and the synthesis of glycogen, protein, and triacylglycerol. These actions are mediated by the binding of insulin to the insulin receptor, which initiates a cascade of cell- signaling responses, including phosphorylation of a family of proteins called insulin receptor substrate (IRS) proteins. Glucagon is a polypeptide hormone secreted by the " cells of the pancreatic islets. Glucagon, along with epinephrine, cortisol, and growth hormone (the counter-regulatory hormones), opposes many of the actions of insulin. Glucagon acts to maintain blood glucose during periods of potential hypoglycemia. Glucagon increases glycogenolysis, gluconeogenesis, lipolysis, ketogenesis, and uptake of amino acids. Glucagon secretion is stimulated by low blood glucose, amino acids, and epinephrine. Its secretion is inhibited by elevated blood glucose and by insulin. Glucagon binds to high-affinity receptors of hepatocytes. This binding results in the activation of adenylate cyclase, which produces the second messenger, cyclic AMP (cAMP). Subsequent activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase results in the phosphorylation-mediated activation or inhibition of key regulatory enzymes involved in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. Hypoglycemia is characterized by: 1) central nervous system symptoms, including confusion, aberrant behavior, or coma; 2) a simultaneous blood glucose level equal to or less than 40 mg/dl; and 3) resolution of these symptoms within minutes following the administration of glucose. Hypoglycemia most commonly occurs in patients receiving insulin treatment with tight control. The consumption and subsequent metabolism of ethanol inhibits gluconeogenesis, leading to hypoglycemia in individuals with depleted stores of liver glycogen. Alcohol consumption can also increase the risk for hypoglycemia in patients using insulin.
