Q

What triggers Ghrelin to be secreted?

A

When stomach is empty. It will surge and peak right before meals. Initiates eating and decreases energy expenditure.
Fasting will also increase levels of Ghrelin.

Q

What inhibits Ghrelin?

A

When stomach is stretched, so after eating or nutrient ingestion. Levels will drop after eating. (If obese, you will have less of a drop in Ghrelin). A vagotomy can also inhibit Ghrelin as it disrupts the gut brain axis.

Q

How does Ghrelin impact the CNS?

A

Via the orexigenic pathway. It stimulates NPY/AgRP in the arcuate nucleus in the hypothalmus. It also can reach brain to the NTS via the vagus nerve.

Q

What happens to levels of Ghrelin as we lose weight?

A

Levels of Ghrelin increase and increase and once we start to gain weight, this increase slows down until we are back to our baseline weight.

Q

What is the relationship between Ghrelin and Insulin?

Q

Why does Insulin Resistance, Diabetes and Obesity reduce GLP-1?

A

When you eat food and it gets broken down into small parts it goes to the proximal small intestine. In patients who are insulin resistant, diabetic and obese, it causes an inhibitory signal to be released which suppresses the release of GLP 1.

Q

How does gastric bypass help you lose weight?

A

It bypasses the proximal small intestine so you lose the inhibition signal that suppresses GLP-1, therefore, it increases GLP-1 to high levels.
