Q

GLP-1

A

Glucagon-Like Peptide 1 - produced in L cells and secreted in response to food (c, p, f); Glucose-dependent insulin secretion, suppresses glucagon, delayed gastric emptying and increased satiety, reduced appetite

*GLP-1 levels increase significantly after bypassing the proximal small intestine thus DM improves immediately after gastric bypass

Q

Second Order Neuron

A

Deeper in the hypothalamus; receive signals from the 1st order neurons and relay to other parts of the brain; NPY acts on Y1 and Y5 receptors while AgRP blocks MC4R; POMC ==> a-MSH ==> MC4R

18
Q

First order neurons

A

Receive signals from the periphery to the arcuate nucleus (AN); 2 neuron systems: NPY/AgRP (weight gaining); POMC/CART (weight losing)

19
Q

Adiponectin

A

Made only in white adipose tissue; most abundantly secreted; inversely related to body fat mass (higher body fat = lower adiponectin); enhances insulin sensitivity in the liver, stimulates glucose use in the muscle, and reduces vascular endothelium inflammation

20
Q

Orexigenic (Gain weight)

A

Gold Star: Ghrelin; acute appetite stimulatory hormone, increase energy balance, Stomach, Acts on Hypothalamus and vagal nerve

Ghrelin ==> NPY, AgRP, Orexin; ==} POMC, CRH

21
Q

Anorexigenic (reduce weight)

A

Gold star: Leptin - long term energy balance; decreased energy balance, release from adipocytes and acts on hypothalamus

Leptin ==> POMC, CART, CRH; ==} NPY, AgRP, Orexin

22
Q

Leptin Resistance

A

Increased levels of leptin higher than anticipated for body fat mass, but do NOT cause the anticipated anorexic weight loss effects; could be related to over-stimulation of the leptin receptor may cause, impairment of leptin crossing the blood brain barrier (BBB) which inhibits the effectiveness of leptin signaling

23
Q

Brown Adipose Tissue

A

Heat production, abundant mitochondria, dense nerve supply, high-volume capillaries, UCP1, decreases with age, women>men, and young>old

24
Q

White Adipose Tissue

A

Energy storage, mostly made of triglycerides, Leptin, increase with age relative to total body weight

25
Q

Leptin

A

Anorexigenic, secreted ONLY by white adipose tissue, long term signaling, metabolic signal of energy sufficiency, levels are directly proportional to body fat mass, reduced food intake, increased energy expenditure, crosses BBB, stimulates POMC/CART (1st order) and inhibits NPY/AgRP (1st order), Turns off GABA inhibition of POMC (1st order), Inibits Orexin (2nd order), Stimulates neurotrophic factor (2nd order)

26
Q

Adipocyte Hormones

A

Leptin, Adiponectin, Inflammatory Cytokines (IL6, TNF, etc)

27
Q

What is the largest endocrine gland in the body?

A

Adipose (body fat)

28
Q

Amylin

A

Robin to insulin’s batman, co-secreted with insulin, reduces food intake, slow down gastric emptying, suppresses glucagon production, similar to GLP-1; helps make insulin more effective for glucose lowering

29
Q

Glucagon

A

Secreted by alpha cells, stimulated by low glucose; inhibited by high glucose, GLP-1, amylin; acts on liver and stimulates gluconeogenesis, maintains blood sugar levels between meals

30
Q

Insulin

A

secreted by beta cells, 1 of 2 long term adiposity signaling hormones (with leptin), centrally reduces appetite, uptake of glucose into glycogen, stimulates fat synthesis

31
Q

Pancreatic Polypeptide (PP)

A

Secreted by F cells, reduces gastric emptying, reducing hunger, obesity and prader willi are associated with low levels of PP

32
Q

Pancreatic Hormones

A

Pancreatic polypeptide (F cells), Insulin (Beta), Amylin (Beta), Glucagon (alpha cells)

33
Q

PYY

A

Peptide YY - produced in L cells of distal small bowel, colon and rectum, potent appetite suppression, delays gastric emptying; ileal brake with GLP-1

34
Q

OXM

A

Oxyntomodulin - produced in L cells, distal small bowel, co-secreted with GLP-1, unique to increase energy expenditure

35
Q

GLP-1

A

Glucagon-Like Peptide 1 - produced in L cells and secreted in response to food (c, p, f); Glucose-dependent insulin secretion, suppresses glucagon, delayed gastric emptying and increased satiety, reduced appetite

*GLP-1 levels increase significantly after bypassing the proximal small intestine thus DM improves immediately after gastric bypass

36
Q

Glucagon

A

Secreted by alpha cells, stimulated by low glucose; inhibited by high glucose, GLP-1, amylin; acts on liver and stimulates gluconeogenesis, maintains blood sugar levels between meals

37
Q

POMC

A

Propiomelanocortin - anorexigenic, 1st order neuros in ARC, found with CART, releases a-MSH which acts on MC3R and MC4R, stimulated by serotonin, leptin, and insulin, inhibited by NPY and GABA

38
Q

Orexigenic pathway

A

NPY/AgRP ==> Neuropeptide Y ==> Y1, Y5

39
Q

Anorexigenic Pathway

A

POMC/CART ==> a-MSH ==> MC3R, MC4R

40
Q

CART

A

Cocaine and Amphetamine Regulated Transcript (CART) - anorexigenic, found with POMC, located in ARC or lateral hypothalamus, may involve central release of GLP-1, stimulated by serotonin, leptin, and insulin, inhibited by NPY and GABA

41
Q

Brown Adipose Tissue

A

Heat production, abundant mitochondria, dense nerve supply, high-volume capillaries, UCP1, decreases with age, women>men, and young>old
