Look it up
3 FDA requirements for obesity drugs
1.5% reduction in total body weight maintained for 1 year OR 2. >35% of patients maintain 5% reduction in weight 3. Improve BP/lipids/blood glucose
Feeding behavior comes from what part of the brain
Hypothalamus
3 hormones that increase feeding
Neuropeptide Y AGRP Ghrelin
7 hormones that DEcrease feeding
a-MSH Lepton NEinsulin/amylin Cholecytokinin (CCK)/PYY CART
Leptin is released because of what
In proportion to fat
Pry/insulin/cck are released when
Upon digestion
When is ghrelin released
During fasting
Appetite Regulation
- Increase
- decrease
- increase
- POMC/CART
- AGRP/NPY
- Increase
- a-MSH
- Neurons of PVN
- Neuron
- decrease
POMC is produced where?
Pituitary
hypothalmush
brainstem
4 steps to decrease feeding
- Insulin/leptin/CCK are released and bind to receptors on AGRP/NPY or POMC/CART
- Leptin receptors release POMC and after enzymatic breakdown created a-MSH which decrased food intake
- a-MSH binds to the neuron receptor MCR-4
- sympathetic activity and energy expenditure are increased
4 steps to increase feeding
- Ghrelin is released
- Ghrelin stimulates Ghrelin hormone secretagogue receptor on AGRP/NPY
- Y1 receptor is stimulated in the neuron
- Food intake increased
Paraventricular Nucleus
(PVN)
send signals to the lateral hypothalamus to alter taste sensation and control autonomic responses such as digestive secretions
