Mode of action of sulphonyl ureas includes all the following except______________?
Correct answer: D. Decreasing Glucose absorption from the qut
- A. Activating receptors on beta cells of pancreas to release insulin
- B. Inhibiting gluconeogenesis in liver
- C. Enhancing insulin mediated post receptor enzyme reaction
- D. Decreasing Glucose absorption from the qut
Explanation
Sulphonylureas close ATP-sensitive potassium channels in pancreatic beta cells, increase insulin release and improve some insulin-mediated post-receptor actions. Decreased intestinal glucose absorption is characteristic of alpha-glucosidase inhibitors, not sulphonylureas.
