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
