Obesity Flashcards
Obesity prevelance
33% 250 billion spent
obesity contributing factors
genetics behavioral metabolic environmental socioeconomic physical inactivity/sedentary lifestyle
healthy people 2030
^ office visits by adults who have obesity
^ consumption of fruits/veggies, dark/green/red/orange veggies/grains/calcium/potassium/vitamin D age 2+
Screen time below 2H/day
caloric intake vs caloric use
hunger & satiety r/t appetite
vs
controlled by metabolic rate (thyroid hormones/activity levels)
short-term appetite regulators
oral receptors
GI tract hormones
stomach stretching
intermediate/long-term appetite regulators
increased BG
adipose leptin
increased blood ketoacids
Hypothalamus
regulates appetite/energy homeostasis
input from peripheral organs
ARC (arcuate nucleus)
also cognitive/memory/feeling components
Adipose Tissue
endocrine organ makes adipocytokines white fat (adults & insulation/cushioning/hormones) brown fat (newborns & thermogenic)
Adipocytokines
leptin (increases w/ adipose creation, causes satiety)
Adiponectin (decreases with increased adipose, regulates insulin sensitivity)
Leptin
inhibits appetite @ hypothalamic
reduces peptides that increase intake
cholecystokinin
stimulates digestion of fat/portein
glucagon-like peptide-1
incretin
enhances seretion of insulin
peptide YY
reduces appetite
ghrelin
“hunger hormone”
adiponectin
glucose regulation
fatty acid oxidation
genetic obesity
monogenic or polygenic
disrupts leptin-melanocotrin pathway
prader-willi
inflammation & obesity
adipocyte become lipid laden & hypertrophied
cellular stress occurs
adipose tissues produce chemicals that trigger inflammation
Insulin resistance
impaired glucose transport into insulin sensitive cells
more insulin needed to maintain normal blood glucose
hyperinsulinemia (r/t obesity, impaired glucose tolerance, ^ weight/BMI)
