pancreas

hematocrit
True or False: High levels of adiponectin are associated with lower risk of heart disease.
True.
What glucose cutoff should you have your client eat carbs at?
<100mg/dl
What are some medications for fat loss?
Sibutramine
Orlistat
Examples of adipokines?
- adiponectin
- leptin

True
What makes up the plaque in the vessel created by excess homocysteine?
cholesterol and platelets

Definition: c-protein
a protein that is created and released by the liver into the blood in response to trauma, inflammation and infection
True or False: FEV1 is higher in obese individuals
False. Significantly lower
Why is c-protein a risk factor for cardiovascular disease?
Although c-proteins are not a direct risk of CVD, a high level of them can indicate future risk of a heart attack. However chronic response of c-protein to inflammation can cause platelet clumping in the vessel, eventually decreasing the circumference of the vessel and leading to blood clots.
