Q

Which of the following hormones increases apetite, gastric motility, gastric acid secretion, and adipogenesis; and only decreases insulin secretion?

A. Insulin

B. Ghrelin

C. CCK

D. PYY

E. Leptin

17
Q

Which of the following hormones elicits satiety by acting on Vagal-> NTS-> Hypothalamus circuit to decrease ghrelin and decrease gastric emptying leading to greater distention.

A. Insulin

B. Ghrelin

C. CCK

D. PYY

E. Leptin

18
Q

Which of the following hormones is released by L cells of the ileum and colon after a meal, and binds to Y2R in the hypothalamus to inhibit release of NPY and POMC neurons

A. Insulin

B. Ghrelin

C. CCK

D. PYY

E. Leptin

19
Q

Which of the following hormones stimulates the POMC pathway and also decreases ghrelin release?

A. Insulin

B. Ghrelin

C. CCK

D. PYY

E. Leptin

A

Leptin

  • FF: Administration of Leptin in the SubQ of kids with congenital leptin deficiency leads to decreased fat mass, hyperinsulinemia, and hyperlipidemia.
20
Q

T/F: Adipocytes signals work in long-term energy balance, while gut peptides modulate on a meal to meal basis

21
Q

Look at this and know it

22
Q

Which of the following gut hormones is co-secreted with PYY from L cells in the ileum, and works to reduce food intake, suppress glucagon secretion, and delays gastric emptying?

A. GLP-1

B. Oxyntomodulin

C. Pancreatic peptide

D. Glucagon

E. Amylin

23
Q

Which of the following gut hormones is released from L cells (like GLP-1 and PYY), but is released in response to food intake that is in proportion to caloric intake? (Has anorectic effects)

A. GLP-1

B. Oxyntomodulin

C. Pancreatic peptide

D. Glucagon

E. Amylin

A

Oxyntomodulin

24
Q

Which of the following gut hormones is decreases food intake directly through Y4R in the brainstem and hypothalamus?

A. GLP-1

B. Oxyntomodulin

C. Pancreatic peptide

D. Glucagon

E. Amylin

A

Pancreatic peptide

25
Q

Which of the following gut hormones is stored and released with insulin in response to food intake, and contributes to anorectic effects by inhibiting NPY?

A. GLP-1

B. Oxyntomodulin

C. Pancreatic peptide

D. Glucagon

E. Amylin

26
Q

What are the effects on the levels of Leptin, Ghrelin resistance, and PYY in people with anorexia nervosa?

A

Leptin: Decreased

Ghrelin Resistance: Increased

PYY: Increased

  • decrease in fat causes decrease in leptin release
27
Q

Which of the following is true of Glucagon?

A. Reduces food intake

B. Increases food intake

C. Has no effect on food intake

D. None of the above

A

Reduces food intake

  • think of it as delaying need for food intake since it causes us to make glucose elsewhere when depleted
28
Q

Which of the following hormones decreases hunger both by inhibiting AGRP/NPY neurons and stimulating the POMC pathway? Choose all that apply:

A. PYY

B. CCK

C. Insulin

D. Leptin

E. Ghrelin

A

C. Insulin

D. Leptin

NOTE:

  • PYY- only inhibits AGRP/NPY*
  • CCK- causes satiety by decreasing Ghrelon, slowing gastric emptying, and increasing gastric distention*
  • Ghrelin- increases hunger*
29
Q

What is the ONLY orexigenic hormone that we talked about in this lecture?
