胰岛素拮抗调节激素在糖尿病酮症发病中的作用

糖尿病酮症酸中毒的生化特征为高血糖症、高酮血症和酸血症同时存在,此时人的细胞外液中血糖、酮体的浓度可分别升高5和20倍,动脉血pH值可减至7.0以下。葡萄糖、酮体和氢离子的聚积是由于这些物质的产生、利用和排出率失去平衡所致。糖尿病酮症时酮体的产生和维持与此物质的代谢和激素分泌有关。本文观察14例糖尿病酮症酸中毒,发现相对性胰岛素和儿茶酚胺类(我们测定尿中肾上腺素和去甲肾上腺素)激素的过度分泌在发病机制上也是重要的。

THE ACTION OF INSULIN-COUNTER HORMONES IN THE PATHOGENESIS OF DIABETES KETOACIDOSIS

Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) is a condition biochemically characterized by the combination of hyperglycemia, hyperketonemia and acidemia. The extracellular concentration of glucose and ketone bodies in human body can respectively increase 5 and 20 times as more as usual, and the pH of arterial blood can decrease below 7.0. Accumulation of gluccse, ketone bodies and hydrogen must be due to the imbalance of the rate of production, ulilization, and excretion of these substance. In DKA, the metabolism of several hormones and substances is probably involved in the initiation and maintenance of ketone body over-production. At present, 14 patients with DKA have been investigated and it has been found that relative insulin deficiency appears to be necessary, and the excess production of growth hormone, glucagon and catecholamincs (the urine adrenaline and noradrenaline were measured) may be also important in the pathogenesis of DKA.
