Q

Insulin resistance (/failure to produce enough insulin)

A

Adipocytes undergo hyperplasia and hypertrophy

This results in:

1) Overproduction and release of - leptin, retinol binding protein (prevents activation of glucose carrying proteins), EDGF (causes IR), inflammatory cytokines (e.g. TNFa, IL1/2), decreased adiponectin (that normal protects the endothelium), activation of the JNK and NFkB pathways
2) Muscle and hepatic fat deposition/TAG
3) Macrophages are recruited
4) Increased FFA in the blood stream - cause inflammation

Q
Sleep hormones at different stages:
Onset of sleep
First half of sleep
Second half of sleep
Awakening
A

At onset - melatonin rises
First half - melatonin continues to rise, leptin produced throughout sleep
Second half - melatonin gradually falls
Awakening - cortisol spike shortly after, cortisol gradually rises through sleep too

Q

Stages of sleep

How many are there? And what are they?

A

4 stages:
Stages 1-3 of non-REM sleep
REM sleep

Stage 1 - several minutes, going from awake to asleep - high amplitude theta waves, very slow
Stage 2 - deeper sleep, slow brain waves with some brief bursts ‘sleep spindles’
Stage 3 - deepest sleep, slow waves, makes you feel refreshed ‘delta sleep’ (previously stages 3 and 4)

Q

Physical activity:

What benefits of RR of all-cause morality at what hours of exercise (The simple chart and the longer chart…)

And for MeTs and years of life gained?

At what level of MeTs is ‘most benefit’ achieved?

Another random stat - 150 minutes reduces mortality how much? 7 hours how much?

A

All-cause mortality and hours of exercise a week:

  1. 8 = 1.5 hours
  2. 7 = 3 hours
  3. 6 = 6 hours

Longer chart:

  1. 0 = 30mins
  2. 8 = 90mins (1.5 hours, same as above)
  3. 73 = 180 mins (3 hours)
  4. 64 = 330 mins (5.5 hours)
  5. 615 = 420 mins (7 hours)
In terms of MeTs and years of life
0-3.75/week = 75 mins = 1.8
3.75-7.5 = 90-150 = 2.5
7.5-15 = 200 = 3
15-22.5 = 400 = 4
\+22.5 = 500 = 4.5

10-20Met hours!

Q

Assessing fitness in the different domains:

Functional assessment?

Cardiorespirtatory (3 tests)?

A

Function - 6 minute walk test, compare pre and post intervention

CR fitness:

1) the step test - 3 minutes of stepping to metronome, rest for a minute, then measure heart rate, compare to charts
2) the rockport test - run/walk a mile, measure heart rate and time
3) sub ventilatory threshold test - easiest on treadmill, increase exercise going up by 5% heart rate until breathing rate changes, can’t say 5-10 word sentences

Q

What is heavy drinking?

A
  • NIAAA defines heavy alcohol use as more than 4 drinks on any day for men or more than 3 drinks for women.
  • SAMHSA defines heavy alcohol use as binge drinking on 5 or more days in the past month.

I think the best for the course is exceeding 4/3 drinks in the past 30 days

Binge drinking and heavy alcohol use can increase an individual’s risk of alcohol use disorder.

Q

Sleep prescription - going EAST

Easier or harder than WEST?

Treating jet lag requires advancing or delaying your body clock?

What would you prescribe?

A

Travelling East is HARDER - when you arrive it feels EARLIER than the local time - and the body clock needs to be ADVANCED

Dim light at sleep time (which is easy because it’s naturally dim - e.g. you’ll think it’s 5pm but it’s actually 10pm)
Avoid bright light until ideal wake up time. Then get bright light.
Breakfast 30-45 minutes after ideal wake up time.
Melatonin 1 hour before sleep.

53
Q

Sleep prescription - going WEST

Easier or harder than EAST?

Get bright early evening light.
Dim light only 1 hour before sleep (which is hard, because you’ll be tired having had a long day)
Complex carbs dinner 2-3 hours before sleep.
Breakfast 30-45 minutes after ideal wake up.
Melatonin 30-60mintues before sleep.
Bright light on waking
