Quest 2 Flashcards
Primary Objective: pass (optional)
what is osteoarthritis
weardown of the joints, promoted by excess weight and obesity induced inflammation
too much weight=way too much stress on joints and they grind down
what is obstructive sleep apnea
narrowing of airways during sleep that can promote snoring and stoppage of breathing
promoted with accumulation of extra adipose tissue in upper respiratory tract
treated with weight loss or breathing machine
what are some comorbities associated with increased intraabdominal pressure
gastroesophageal reflux disorder
stress urinary incontinence
abdominal hernia
what are the 2 categories of comorbidities
adiposopathies - altered physiology that occurs when fat cells grow and adipokines get released in different patterns to promote a pro-inflammatory state
fat mass diseases - related to extra strain on body due to excess fat mass
how does obesity affect polycystic ovarian syndrome
increased androgen production, disordered gonadotropin secretion, multiple cyst formations in ovaries
can cause infertility
how does obesity affect major depressive disorder
requires a change in eating pattern and sleep disturbance (results in increased appetite)
increases cortisol through HPA axis
lowers adiponectin
drugs to treat depression cause weight gain
what is an eating disorder
psychological disorder that results in altered eating behaviour
what are the 3 recognized eating disorders that exist
anorexia nervosa
bulimia nervosa
bing eating disorder
what is bulimia nervosa
lack of control of eating, followed by a severe compensatory behavior to prevent weight gain
what is binge eating disorder
lack of control over eating during the episode (2 hr eating window)
no compensatory behaviors as in bulimia
more common in men as age increases, more common in women as age decreases
causes higher risks of becoming obese, having depression, and drug/alcohol abuse
what is night eating disorder
disorder people may have where they eat hella food at nighttime
categorized by having:
morning anorexia
evening hyperphagia
insomnia
associated w obesity and a normal BMI
also associated with functional impairment and depression
is you if :
eat 25% of calories post dinner
this happens at least twice a week
must believe that they gotta eat before going to bed
must have been happening for like 3 months
what is trauma
events that result in emotional/physical hurt
pain.
big T - something big that someone went thru and it hit the person hard
small T - smaller less traumatic events that leave lasting impressions
how does obesity relate to trauma
higher risk of CVD, diabetes, drug abuse
higher adverse childhood experience score=higher BMI risk
need to approach topics with sensitivity
what does a higher ACE score indicate
higher inflamation/higher IL6
higher stress and cortisol
depression
less reward center development (more food needed to give reward)
What was the overfeeding study done with monozygotic twins
each individual ate 1000 calories extra, there was low variability between the twins but high variability between groups of twins
what are monogenic changes
caused by single gene mutation
what are polygenic changes
caused by multiple mutations in different genes
harder to analyze/detect
what are some monogenic causes of obesity
leptin deficiency
defect in melanocortin-4 receptor (appetite regulation) (most common)
POMC deficiency (appetite regulation)
what are epigenetics
how DNA is expressed/affects life
what are some epigenetic tags
DNA methylation - altering transcription, showing up thru covalent gene modification
histone modification - proteins that package DNA into nucleosomes, making it more compact and can alter transcription
non-coding RNA is RNA that’s fucked and it wont properly code for a gene product, so it cant be translated into a protein
how does pregnancy affect epigenetics of obesity
obese mothers make obese children basically
FTO locus codes for DNA methylation enzyme (caused when there’s increased fat consumption and reduced MC4R gene from mum)
What happened with the obesity Agouti mice study
when the gene was unmenthylated the mouse was obese with a yellow coat (same as offspring)
when gene was methylated with a methyl group diet, offspring were brown and lean with less obesity risk
depends on the degree of methylation - some were a mix of yellow and brown
what is hunger mf
physiological desire to eat
what is appetite
desire/cravings to eat food
What organs regulate hunger
short term:stomach, large intestine, small intestine
long term: adipose tissue
