Q

inflammation & obesity

A

adipocyte become lipid laden & hypertrophied
cellular stress occurs
adipose tissues produce chemicals that trigger inflammation

Q

Insulin resistance

A

impaired glucose transport into insulin sensitive cells
more insulin needed to maintain normal blood glucose

19
Q

Visceral Adiposity

A

central fat distribution
increases LDL (increased risk for heart disease)
increased body weight (increased cardiac workload, risk for cardiomyopathy and heart failure)

20
Q

Reactive oxygen species

A

highly reactive/unstable molecules
damage other molecules (proteins/lipid/cho/DNA)
impair cell membrane receptors
signaling pathways

21
Q

oxidative stress

A

due to increased ROS and decreased antioxidant
defenses
can begin in childhood and lead to progressive damage

22
Q

antioxidant defenses

A

vitamin E/C
plant flavonoids (bright fruits/veggies)
enzymes (superoxide dismutase & glutathione peroxidase)

23
Q

Oxidative stress r/t obesity

A
hyperglycemia
increased ROS production
decreased antioxidants
chronic inflammation 
increased lipids
hyperleptinemia
24
Q

metabolic syndrome

A

insulin resistance
increased visceral fat
increased release of free fatty acids (impairs hepatic insulin clearance)
alterations in peripheral metabolism

25
Q

metabolic syndrome criteria

A
need 3/5
increased waist circumference (M 40+ F 35+)
elevated triglycerides (150+)
elevated BP (130/85 +)
elevated fasting glucose (100+)
reduced HDL (M <40 F <50)
26
Q

obesity health risks

A
reduced quality of life
shortened lifespan 
diabetes
orthopedic problems
liver disease
endocrine changes
htn
heart disease
osa
gallbladder disease
musculoskeletal/skin disorders
cancer
27
Q

maternal obesity considerations

A
pregnancy induced HTN
gestational diabetes
thromboembolism
respiratory complications
cardiovascular complications
preterm delivery
cesarean delivery
28
Q

Phentermine

A
amphetamine-like
short-term use
BMI 30+ or 27 w/ RF
requires behavioral modifications
BBW: increased risk of pulmonary HTN
29
Q

obesity tx

A

surgery
gastric banding/gastric bypass (clipping/cutting stomach but can grow back)
lifestyle
some meds

30
Q

obesity med history

A
bad
addictive
heart valve defects
stroke
cardiac events
31
Q

Orlistat (alli, xenical)

A

lipase inhibitors
blocks absorption of fats in small intestine
also blocks fat-soluble vitamins/warfarin
small decrease in weight
must take 1H before meal w/ fats
SE: flatus, oily stool, fecal incontinence, ab pain, headache

32
Q

Anorexiants

A

appetite suppressants

33
Q

diethylpropion

A

similar to amphetamine
limited to 12 weeks (tolerance)
CNS effects

34
Q

phentermine/topiramate

A

effects hypothalamus
decreases appetite
CNS side effects
seizures if discontinued quickly

35
Q

locaserin

A

effects hypothlamus

causes feeling of fullness

36
Q

bupropion and naltrexone

A

increases dopamine = decreased appetite

can cause suicidal behavior
