EXS PHYS II Test #3 Flashcards
Adipose tissue function
In addition to storing TGs, adipose tissue also secretes hormones Leptin and Adiponectin
Leptin and adiponectin is secreted from what tissue?
adipose
High levels of leptin are found in what kind of people?
obese americans
high levels of adiponectin is found in ?
lean ppl and healthy
Leptin hormone directs
excess kcals into adipose tissue and protects muscle cells
Adiponectin increases
insulin sensitivity and fatty acid oxidation, which decrease fat storage
With increased fat mass/ obesity there are ?
higher leptin levels and lower adiponectin (leptin resistant), which leads to Type 2 diabetes and low-grade inflamtion/ chronic inflamation
Obesity
overfatness
obesity leads to
inflamation due to increased inflamtion markers and leptin and decreased adiponectin
Pancreas both functions
exocrine and endocrine
Pancreas secretes
insulin from beta cells
glucagon from alpha cells
digestive enzymes and bicarbonate into small intestine (exocrine)
Insulin promotes the
storage of glucose, amino acids, and fats into the cell
lack of insulin is called
diabetes mellitus
glucagon promotes the
mobilization of fatty acids and glucose
Insulin is
anabolic
glucagon is
catabolic
Insulin is stiumulated, glucagon supressed
rest
Insulin suppressed, glucagon stimulated
exercise
Insulin promotes storage of
nutrients and synthesis (anabolism)
glucagon promotes b
breakdown (catabolism) of stored fuels: glycogen, TGs, and protein
Testosterone released by, but present in
testes, but also present in females
testosterone is an blank that promotes
anabolic steroid and promotes tissue (muscle) building
testerone is a in sports
performance enhancement
Androgenic steroid promotes
masculine characteristics
Estrogen and progesterone released from
ovaries and are also present in males
Estrogen and progesterone establish and maintain
reproductive f(x)
Estrogen and progesterone levels vary throughout the
menstrual cycle
Initial studies showed no benefit from anabolism steroid for developing
muscle mass
In contrast to real world reports andinitial studies for no benefits from anabolic steroid for devping muscle mass, subjects used
10-100 x reccomended dose
10-100 x reccomended dose is called a
supraphysiological dose
Anabolic steroids are associated with blank, but they blank
negative side effects, but they revert to normal after discontuation
widespread use of steroids has led to
testing competive athletes
most user of anabolic steroids are not and do?
competitive athletes and take more than one steroid in megadoses
Glycogenolysis is related to
exercise intensity
High intensity exs results in
greater and more rapid glycogen depletion through glycolysis
Shorter duration high intensity =
faster glycogen depletion and increased epinephrine
Lower intensity =
slow glycogen depletion
Epinephrine uses second messenger sys , what is its second messenger?
cAMP system
epinephrine second messenger cellular response
elevated Ca++ in muscle due to contraction (exs)
What must be maintained during exercise?
plasma glucose/ blood glucose homeostasis
4 processes that maintain plasma glucose:
- ) Mobilization of glucose from liver glycogen stores
- ) Mobilization of FFA from adipose tissue by sparing plasma glucose.
- ) Gluconeogenesis from Amino acids, lactate, and glycerol
- ) Blocking entry of glucose into the cells since it forces use of FFA as fuel
What 2 kinds of hormones control maintaining plasma glucose levels?

Changes in cortisol may be related to
repair of exercise-induced tissue damage
Chronic stress is
bad for insulin sensivity?
GH is what acting hormone
GH is a slow acting hormone
GH supports the action of
cortisol
GH decreases

how does E and NE maintain plasma glucose levels during exs?
Muscle glycogen mobilization
increasing liver glucose mobilzation
increasing FFA mobilation
interfere with glucose uptake
Catecholamines and blood glucose are similar mech to what, but it does what?

Much higher dose needed for success
What is a secondary benefit of performance activity?
Performance
What affects performance?
Many factors affected by fatigue
Fatigue
Inability to maintain power output or force production during repeated muscle contractions
Central Fatigue
fatigue that originates from CNS
Peripheral Fatigue
fatigue originates from periphery
3 components of Peripheral Fatigue
Neural Factors
Mechanical Factors
Energetics of Contraction
Reduction in motor units activated is what kind of fatigue?
Central Fatigue
Reduction in motor unit firing frequency is what kind of fatigue?
Central Fatigue
How can CNS arousal alter the state of fatigue (Central Fatigue) ?
By facilitating motor unit recruitment, due to increasing motivation, and mental or physical diversion
What do you need to do before performing?
visualize
Serotonin is linked to ?
relaxation, euphoria, and arousal suppresion
what AA is precursor to Serotonin?
Trp
Free/ unbound Trp (f-Trp) shares what and action?
carrier w/ BCAA across BBB into brain
Prolonged Endurance exercise increases and this causes?
lipolysis
This causes FFAs to compete w/ Trp in binding to albumin, so more f-Trp is available for transport to brain
Central Fatigue Hypothesis w/ serotonin
More BCAA will compete w/ f-Trp for transport across BBB; yielding less serotonin synthesis; thus, less fatigue, but so far no signifcant effect on endurance performance w/ BCAA supplements with humans
Albumin is common
FFA carrier protien
CFH w/ serotonin FFA grabs onto albumin and
kicks more f-Trp into blood. When this happens, with increased BCAA, there is less f-Trp making less fatigue because more BCAA goes to brain, theory, cuz less serotonin can be made
What 2 things primarily slow down exercise ??
1) Increased [H+], which prevents myosin binding to actin making less cross bridging by inhbibting Ca++ release, also this acidic environment denatures proteins (myosin ,actin .. .. )
2) Heat denatures proteins
Trained fellow deals with this better, eh…
Peripheral Fatigue Neural Factors NMJ is what for fatigue
NMJ is not a site for fatigue
Peripheral Fatigue Neural Factors what truly happens at sarcolemma and T tubules?
There is a physical disruption at T tubules since exercise truly does damage body, or at sarcollemma or at both there is damage from exercise.
Peripheral Fatigue Neural Factors what happens when T tubule is altered?
If T tubule is altered, AP cannot get into muscle cell (invaginate), which slows down the contraction, so contracton takes longer cuz it cannot reach muscle cell as quickly.
Peripheral Fatigue Neural Factors and Sarcolemma and T tubules is ability of what ?
muscle membrane to conduct AP due to inability of Na+/K+ pump to maintain an AP amplitude and frequency, Na/K pumps slow down means slower repolarizationm
Peripheral Fatigue Neural Factors can those factors impacting Sarcolemma and T tubules be improved by training?
Yes, more resistants to cell damage = less damage
Peripheral Fatigue Neural Factors an AP block in T-tubules?
reduction in Ca++ release from SR, which stores Ca++
Peripheral Fatigue Mech Factors 3 things?
All decrease cross bridge cycling
Cross-bridging cycling and tension DVP
High H+ [ ] may contribute to fatigue
Longer “relaxation time” is sign of fatigue
Cross-bridging cycling and tension DVP depends on what 3 things?
Arrangement of actin and myosin Ca2+ binding to troponin allows to tropomyosin to move off binding site ATP availability (energy source)
All of the above slow down speed of cycling of crossbriding
High H+ [ ] may contribute to fatigue 3 contributors?
Reduce the force per cross-bridge
Reduce the force generated at a given Ca2+ concentration
Inhibit Ca2+ release from SR
Denatures proteins (filaments)
Longer “relaxation time” is sign of fatigue due to what?
slower cross-bridge cycling
Peripheral Fatigue: Energetics of Contraction Imbalance in what?
