Q

What hormonal changes are seen with sleep deprivation?

A

Decrease leptin
Increased ghrelin, orexin and neuropeptide y

This leads to increased appetite and decreased energy expenditure.

Q

How does reduce sleep time affect risk of diabetes?

A

It is associated with diabetes and if you get six hours of sleep you had a 1.7 times greater risk of diabetes and five hours of sleep had 2 1/2 times greater risk of diabetes compared to those who get 7 to 8 hours of sleep per night.

If BMI is >= 40

57
Q

What is the recommendation on metabolic surgery if your BMI is 35-39.9(class 2 obesity)?

Optimize lifestyle and medications but if still has poor glycemic control then recommend surgery. If adequate control, can still consider it.

58
Q

A

Optimize lifestyle and medications but if still has poor glycemic control then consider surgery. If adequate control, then nonsurgical tx.

59
Q

What kidney conditions do obesity increase risk for?

A

CKD, Kidney stones, Kidney cancer

60
Q

Why is there an increased risk of kidney stones with obesity?

A

Obesity is linked to increased excretion of calcium, uric acid, sodium and lower urine pH(acidic)

61
Q

What is risk of kidney cancer in obesity ?

A

A 5kg/m2 increase in BMI is associated with a 25% higher risk of RCC.

62
Q

What percentage of kidney cancers in men/women were associated with obesity?

A

17% in men and 26% in women

63
Q

In men what are the top types of cancer in obese patients?

A

Esophageal
Thyroid
Kidney

64
Q

In women what are the top types of cancer in obese patients?

A

Endometrial
GB
Esophageal
Kidney

65
Q

Why does adipose tissue endocrine activity production increase risk for CKD?

A

You have decreased adaponectin and increased leptin and resistant. This increases inflammation and oxidative stress, abnormal lipid metabolism, activates the RAAS, increases IR and hyperinsulinemia

66
Q

How does ectopic fat in the kidney cause chronic kidney disease?

A

You have increased deposition of renal sinus fat which leads to the development of glomerular hypertension and increased glomerular permeability which leads to a glomerulopathy

67
Q

What are mechanisms for the pathogenesis of obesity related HTN?

A

Central adiposity - IR, compression around kidneys, high leptin levels. Both leptin and insulin trigger SNS which stimulates renin release. You also have increased aldosterone and thus increased reabsorption of sodium in kidneys. Angiotensinogen from intraabd adipocytes is released as well.

68

Yes

70
Q

A

IR, Elevated triglycerides and low hdl

71
Q

If you have increased leg subcutaneous adipose tissue, are your TGL likely to be high or low?

Lower TGL

72
Q

What is the most common cause of mortality in obese pts?

Cardiovascular disease(Its an independent risk factor)

73
Q

What is a primary contributor of obesity to developing cardiovascular disease?

A

Inflammation. If you have visceral fat then you have increased IL6, tnf alpha, leptin, CRP

A

40%

77
Q

How are waist circumference/obesity related to testosterone, SHBG?

A

Inversely

78
Q

What are the two mechanisms of obesity causing testosterone deficiency?

A
  1. Increased aromatase activity which converts testosterone to estradiol
  2. Reduced hypothalamic GnRH and pituitary LH function
79

A

Breast Cancer

80
Q

What is the most common obesity associated cancer among men?
