Q

Shift work is associated with what disorder

A

Metabolic syndrome

17
Q

Orexigenic

A

Stimulates Feeding

18
Q

Anorexiogenic

A

Supress appetite

19
Q

Name orexigenic peptides

A

Grhein, CKK, Leptin

20
Q

High leptin =

A

High white adipose tissue

21
Q

Low Leptin

A

Activate Orexigenic Pathways

  • Enter BBB at posterior pituater
  • Leptin receptors on Ac neurons that secrete AgRP & NPY
  • Stimulation of PVN
  • Eat more

Inhibit Arexigonic Pathways

  • Low leptin inhibits POMC neurons that produce alpha - MSH
  • AgRP also block alpha-MSH
22
Q

Orexin
Role:
Secreted by
Disease

A

Caloric utilization (brown fat) and slee wake cycle

Lateral Hypothalmic Area

Nacrolepsy

23
Q

Nacrolepsy
Cause
Treatment

A

Neuredegeneration of orexin neurons

Modafinil = Povigil
- increae orexin & dopamine signalining
