Q

How and where do we store fat, protein and carbohydrate

A

 Carbohydrate - mainly stored as glycogen in the muscle and liver
 Fat - intramuscular triglycerides in muscle and adipose tissue
 Protein - we have no storage area of protein all protein in the body is functional

Q

How would alpha amylase inhibitors work to combat the ever growing obesity problem?

A

 Alpha amylase is an enzyme which breaks down amylose

 Potentially would impede digestion of dietary starch and therefore they would not be available for absorption.

Q

What is CCK? Describe the role and regulation.

A

 cholecystokinin is a hormone

Q

Alli is an over the counter weight loss pill that acts on lipases. How does it work?

A

 Inhibits gastric and pancreatic lipase
 Reduces the hydrolysis of fat
 Therefore decreased absorption so decreased caloric intake.
 It inhibits absorption by about 30%.

22
Q

Describe the effects of adiponectin

A

o Energy homeostasis

o May enter the brain and effect hypothalamus
 Stop eating

24
Q

Describe the effects of glucocorticoids
