18
Q

True or False: Maternal hyperglycemia could lead to macrosomia

A

True

19
Q

True or False: Adipocytes store TG in fat vacuoles

A

True

20
Q

True or False: Adipose tissue consists of: stem cells, preadipocytes, adipocytes, and macrophages

A

True

21
Q

Which cell type is most predominant in adult human white adipose tissue?
A. Infiltrated macrophages
B. Preadipocytes
C. Adipocytes

A

C. Adipocytes

22
Q

True or False: Adipose tissues undergoes cell:cell communication in a paracrine and autocrine manner

A

True

23
Q

___ describes enlargement of fat cells while ___ describes cell proliferation and expansion

A

Hypertrophy; hyperplasia

24
Q

True or False: M2 macrophages are pro-inflammatory while M1 macrophages and anti-inflammatory

A

False
M1 = pro-inflammatory
M2 = anti-inflammation

25
Q

True or False: LPS induces inflammation to a greater degree in preadipocytes than adipocytes

A

True

26
Q

Which molecule does trans-10, cis-12 conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) increase cytokine expression in to a greater degree: adipocytes or pre-adipocytes?

A

Adipocytes

27
Q

How does insulin typically affect FA uptake and fat storage?

A

Insulin
- increases FA uptake
- increases fat storage

28
Q

One of the consequences of lack of insulin function is increased activation of HSL (hormone sensitive lipase) - what are the effects of HSL?

A

1) TG’s are broken down to FFA
2) FFA released as energy

29
Q

Why is increased lipolysis in adipose tissue a bad thin?

A

Leads to increased fat and FFA’s in blood

30
Q

True or False: White adipose tissue acts as an endocrine gland

A

True - secrete leptin, adiponectin, etc

31
Q

Signals from white adipose tissue, such as ___, communicate with the brain to decrease food intake

A

Leptin

32
Q

Three major consequences of obestity?

A

1) Insulin resistance
2) Pancreatic beta cell dysfunction
3) T2DM
