Q

Why would you measure body temperature in the direct way of getting energy expenditure?

A

Due to the inefficiencies of of the body systems, it produces heat which can be measured

Q

Why do we measure oxygen consumption when we are measuring energy expenditure?

A

Oxygen is a marker of heat production. The body does not store a lot of oxygen (hence us breathing constantly). Most aerobic reactions use oxidative substrates for heat production (energy).

Q

Explain doubly labelled water as a measure of energy expenditure.

A

Ingest 2 labelled isotopes 2H2O18, O18 will leave as CO2 and H2O. difference between the 2 isotopes + total water pool. Unlabelled CO2 from oxidized fuel

Q

How would you find PAL

A

TEE:BEE

21
Q

What can effect TEF

A

overeating and undereating

22
Q

Why is there variance of TEE in people the same size?

A

80% of BEE is accounted for by body size, so when people are the same size the varience is due to NEAT

23
Q

What 2 factors account for the variation of NEAT?

A

Evironmental (egocentric) - My sedentary activities, job transport
Biological (geocentric) - walkways, office fitness, walk clubs

24
Q

Energy Balance =

A

Maintence of energy stores

25
Q

What energy stores are depleted during short term?

A

Glycogen reserves (24hr) and some fat

26
Q

What stores are depleted during long term fasting?

A

Protein and fat catabolism

27
Q

what factors impact body energy balance

A

Compostion of tissue mass gained or lost, impact on enerfy expenditure (lean mass vs fat) and intake (type of fuel)

28
Q

Nutrient and Energy Balance achieved when intake =

A

body’s rate of oxidation of each macronutrient

29
Q
A
30
Q

What are our afferent signals?

A

Inputs, peptides, hormones and vagal afferent send signals to the controller CNS

31
Q

What are our efferent signals?

A

Outgoing signals from the CNS, they are going to adjust our food intake and energy expenditure in order to keep energy balance

32
Q

What are the CNS Afferent signals for control of energy

A

Short term meals and long term storage (adiposity)

33
Q

How do efferent signals respond ?

A

Hunger, energy expenditure, energy portioning, growth and reproduction

34
Q

What is the short term physiological response (general) to food intake?

A
  1. Gut signal - stretch receptor and chemical (peptides from GI tract) —> act with GI peptides to reduce meal size and lengthen inter-meal satiety
  2. Meal related CNS signals (quality and quantity of the meal) different hormones released which the hypothalamus is sensitive to based on blood concentrations of aa, glucose, fatty acids. Negative feedback
  3. Information collected by brain stem ( Nucleus of solitary tract), sent to hypothalamus with other meal signals
35
Q

If we have so many hormones to suppress eating, why do we still over eat?

A

Override the signals, overeating

36
Q

What are the long term adiposity signals?

A

Lepton is secreted proportionally to the adipocytes, to decrease hunger and increase energy expenditure
Insulin secreted by the beta cells of the pancreas, so increase in food availability = more insulin = reduced appetite

37
Q

Explain insulin resistance

A

When more insulin is released for the same effect on the body

38
Q

How does the CNS converge the long term and short term signalling?

A

• Meal-derived signals(short term) collated by Nucleus of the Solitary Tract (Brain-stem) NTS.
• Short and long-term signals collated by paraventricular nucleus (PVN) located in the ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH)
• Lateral Hypothalamus (LH);stimulates feeding (ghrelin)
• Arcuate Nucleus(Arc)in hypothalamus converges adiposity signals (eg insulin and leptin receptors)

39
Q

What is the regulation of food intake (via leptin and insulin) during energy surplus?

A

Increased leptin and insulin = + POMC (in arc) -> increased alphaMSH + decreased AgPR—> MC4T -> + anorexgenic
= decreased NPY and AGRP —> - Y1R + Y5R —> - orexgenic

= decreased food intake and increased energy expenditure

40
Q

What is the pathway for decreased food intake via leptin and insulin?

A

Decreased leptin and insulin = - POMC (in arc) -> decrease alphaMSH + increased AgPR—> MC4T -> - anorexgenic
= increased NPY and AGRP —> + Y1R + Y5R —> + orexgenic

= increased food intake and decreased energy expenditure

41
Q

Explain metabolic syndrome?

A

Aka syndrome x or insulin resistance. Describes individuals that are more than just obese and have increased risk of CVD and diabetes

42
Q

How much heat is lost due to biochemical ineffiencies of converting to ATP?

A

60%

43
Q

How are water soluble nutrients transported?

A

enter directly into capillaries, feeding the portal vein (directly to liver)

44
Q

How are lipid souble transported

A

transported via chylomicrons into lymphatics
* CMsvtoovlarge to enter blood capillaries \ enter lymphatic capillaries via fenestrations of lacteals; eventually enter blood circulation via lymphatic vessels (thoracic duct)

45
Q

What has a RQ of 1

A

glucose

46
Q

what is the consequence when ingestion is greated than oxiadation of macronutrients

A

increase in energy stores

47
Q

What is the hierachy of oxidation

A

alcohol > protein > glucose > fats

48
Q

What hormone signals a hunger response

A

Ghrelin
