Question 2

The three factors that result in increased abdominal adiposity (intra, not subcutaneous) and impaired glycemic control include ___________ and hyperinsulinemia, ___________ blood glucose, nonenzymic glycation leading to ___________________

Answer 2

Insulin resistance
Elevated
AGE formation

Question 3

_____________________ expansion is caused by chronic positive energy balance and leads to insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia

Answer 3

Adipocyte expansion

Question 4

Adipocyte enlargement results in ____________________ when beta cells work harder to produce more insulin but the adipocytes still don’t respond

Answer 4

insulin resistance

Question 5

advanced glycation end products are proteins with increased nonezymatic glycation as a result of _________________. This results in a decrease in ________ of artery, decline of ________ function and filtration rate in kidney and exacerbation of atherosclerotic lesions.

Answer 5

Exposure to sugars. elasticity, glomerular,

Question 6

Increased adipose lipolysis is initiated by __________ when energy need arises. This increases cAMP which activates __________. The resulting phosphorylation of ________ and perlipin stimulates lipolysis in adipocytes.

Answer 6

epinephrine
PKA
Hormone sensitive lipase

Question 7

The reduction of basal lipolysis is caused by __________ as it activates PDE3 which degrades ___________ to reduce PKA activity. PKA phosphorylates __________ which is the rate limiting factor of free fatty acid release.

Answer 7

insulin
cAMP
hormone sensitive lipase

Question 8

Basal lipolysis _________________ when adipocytes develop insulin resistance because insulin prevents excess fatty acids from being released. They can’t be utilized by other organs so they are converted to ________________ and picked up by liver

Answer 8

increases
triglycerides

Question 9

When basal lipolysis increases, excess fatty acids relased from the adipose are taken up by the ______, repackaged and secreated as ___________________

Answer 9

liver
VLDL

Question 10

HbA1c (amadori product) represents how many hemoglobin proteins have been _____________ and eventually leads to AGE. This is known as the ________________ reaction (browning)

Answer 10

Glycated
Millard

Question 11

Elevated blood pressure is common in obesity given that the ________________ nervous system is often activated, increasing the vascular ___________ and blood pressure

Answer 11

sympathetic
constriction

Question 12

An upregulation of the ________________ is also common in obesity resulting in higher sodium retention –> increased blood volume expansion. This is long term regulation

Answer 12

renin-angiotensin aldosterone system

Question 13

Chronic hypertension increases risk for stroke, mechanical stress damages ___________ leading to gradual loss of filtration leading to less sodium excretion further impairing control

Answer 13

glomerulus in kidney

Question 14

hypertension exacerbates atherosclerosis as it causes tiny tears where plaque can stick, weakens the walls and forms aneurysms. Chronic inflammation of the _____- and accumulation of _________ occurs

Answer 14

intima
cholesterol

Question 15

Heart failure occurs when ventriculuar __________ increases to maintain blood supply. However, as it progresses, leads to congestive heart failure

Answer 15

hypertrophy

Question 16

Decreased HDL is a concern for MS as it transports excess __________to the liver to be excreted. With low HDL, excess cholesterol then stored in ________-

Answer 16

cholesterol
adipose tissue

Question 17

___________________ in adipose resulting from chronic positive energy balance is likely the primary event that leads to secondary complications such as metabolic disorders and disease conditions

Answer 17

insulin resistance

Question 18

Adipose insulin resistance occurs when
1.) __________ increases in adipocytes (leading to expansion)
2.) increased ___________ activity causes more fatty acid release from adipose (usetohydrolizestoragemolecules)
3.) More fatty acids enter other tissues
4.) Results in secondary metabolic disorders

Answer 18

fat storage
hormone sensitive lipase

Question 19

Secondary metabolic disorders associated with adipose insulin resistance include
1.) ______________
2.) lipotoxicity
3.) oxidative stress/motichondrial malfunction
4.) _______________

Answer 19

Nonalcoholic fatty liver
insulin resistance in other tissues such as liver and skeletal muscle

Question 20

Reversal of insulin resistance can be achieved under _______________.

Answer 20

negative energy balance

Question 21

Liposuction removes subcutaneous fat. But it doesn’t impact insulin sensitivity because the ________________ composition is still the same even if the quantity is lower. If anything, it further impairs the cell function

Answer 21

adipocyte

Question 22

Thiazolidinediones can improve insulin sensitivity despite increasing body fat mass as it is a specific agonist of _________ which increases fatty acid oxidation

Answer 22

PPARy

Question 23

Dietary saturated fats with 12,14,16 carbons increase the ______ cholesterol which is major risk factor for ____________

Answer 23

LDL
atherosclerosis

Question 24

Dietary sodium and potassium influence blood pressure; sufficient _________ is required to excrete excess _______ efficiently

Answer 24

potassium
sodium

Question 25

Physical activity can increase bone health and reduce blood pressure regardless of diet. Not ideal for creation of a ______________as it can be easily overridden.

Answer 25

caloric deficit

Question 26

Reversal of MS through weight reduction by the keto diet resulted in 20% of population within the target range of an HBA1c less than ____mM and within a year close to 70% reached this goal

Answer 26

48
