123
Leptin
-acts on recptor in hypothalamus -decr food intake (signals satiety), incr energy expenditure -scretion incr as adipocyte number and size incr can lead to leptin resistance
124
leptin resistance
obese individuals have larger/more adipocytes -incr serum levels of leptin BUT are insensitive to its effects promotes over-eating, excessive weight gain -attributed to inherited defect in leptin receptor
125
Serum FFA and lipid deposits
-2 types of fat: visceral and subcutaneous -Visceral (central) fat accumulation leads to adipocyte dysfxn FFA metabolism is distributed-> dyslipidemia inappropriate (ectopic) lipid deposition-detected by biomarkers in blood
126
release of inflamm cytokines from adipose tissue
chronic low grade inflamm -released from intra-abdominal adipocytes or nearby mo: TNF-a and IL-6 Acute phase reactants (fever, attract neutrophils)
127
two main effects on inflamm response in dm 2
1)induce insulin resistance: TNF-a phosphorylates insulin receptor, making it unresponsive to insulin 2)perpetuate associated conditions -atherosclerosis -fatty liver -dyslipidemia
128
decreased mitochondrial activity
-insulin induces glucose uptake -glucose used in cell respiration (in mitochondria) cells(skeletal muscle, liver) become res to effects of insulin-> glucose not taken up effectively -> cell respiration and oxidative phosphorylation(makes ATP) become dysfxn -> leads to less ATP synthesis, more ROS production
129
effects of hyperinsulinemia
insulin receptors become desensitized due to the persistent presence of insulin -insulin 'signal" no longer processed by cells -receptor expression downregulated -hyperinsulinemia associated with increased risk for CAD, HTN
