(blank) is an antagonist of MCR-4 blocking the signaling by α-MSH in the PVN.
AgRP stimulates the release of (blank) resulting in inhibition of POMC.

Q

What is the end result of stimulation of AgRP/NYP neurons?

A

NYP binds to Y1 receptor, alpha-MSH is blocked from binding to MCR-4;
the PVN are not subject to α-MSH binding to MCR-4 and appetite increases, food intake increases, and energy expenditure decreases

21
Q

Reduces fatty acid oxidation, promotes carbohydrate oxidation, and fatty acid synthesis

A

NYP

22
Q

Antagonism with melanocortins in eating and body weight control.

A

AgRP (Agouti-Related peptide)

23
Q

Hypothalamic neuroendocrine protein.
Part of a family—the pancreatic polypeptide family hormones.
2 gut hormones, pancreatic polypeptide (PP) and peptide tyrosine-tyrosine (PYY) are other members of the family.
Highest levels are found in the ARC.
One of the most potent orexigenic factors.
When you lose weight, it increases.
Stimulates a craving for carbohydrates

A

NYP

24
Q

What happens to NYP levels when you lose weight? What does it stimulate a craving for?

A

they increase; carbohydrates

25
Q

Found in the lateral and posterior hypothalamic areas with axonal projections throughout the brain.
Receptors are distributed throughout the CNS.
Believed to have a role in the emotional & motivational aspects of feeding behavior.
Increase wakefulness & suppress REM sleep.
Do many things.

A

orexins

26
Q

Anorexigenic peptides released in response to food (make you full)

A
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)
Cholecystokinin (CCK)
Peptide tyrosine tyrosine (PYY)
Pancreatic polypeptide (PP)
Oxyntomodulin (OXM or OXY)
Insulin
Leptin
27
Q

Released in response to hunger (make you want to eat)

A

Ghrelin
Galanin
Cortisol

28
Q

Regulates overall body weight by limiting food intake.
Directly correlate with body fat.
Promotes the synthesis of α-MSH (anorexigenic) suppressing hunger.
Reduces the inhibitory effects of local orexigenic neuropeptide-Y (NPY) on POMC nuclei and suppresses hunger initially but in the long run NPY levels return to normal

A

Leptin

29
Q

What does leptin do to food intake & energy expenditure?

A

decreases food intake

increases sympathetic activity & energy expenditure

30
Q

Thought to mainly regulate BMR
Increases insulin sensitivity & fatty acid oxidation
Activity is inhibited by adrenergic stimulation & glucocorticoids
Levels are reduced in obese individuals & increased in patients with anorexia nervosa

A

adiponectin

31
Q

Releases hormones, peptide neurotransmitters & growth factors

A

32
Q

Examples of gut hormones

A
GLP-1
oxyntomodulin
CCK
ghrelin
pancreatic polypeptide
PYY
33
Q

Hormones that stimulate a decrease in blood glucose levels by increasing insulin secretion from the pancreas. Give two examples.

A

Incretins: glucagon-like peptides, glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP)

34
Q

These are examples of incretins, which decrease blood glucose levels
They potentiate glucose-dependent insulin secretion
Inhibit glucagon secretion
Inhibit gastric acid secretion
Inhibit gastric emptying
Decrease appetite

A

glucagon-like peptides

35
Q

This is an incretin (decreases blood glucose by increasing insulin secretion from the pancreas)
Expressed by enteroendocrine K cells of the duodenum & proximal jejunum

A

glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide

36
Q

Overall, what do GLP-1 & GIP do?

A

decrease appetite & food intake

decrease body weight

37
Q

A 37 amino acid peptide derived from proglucagon containing the entire 29 amino acids of glucagon.
Synthesized and released in the enteroendocrine L cells of the distal gut.
Secreted in response to food intake within 5-10 minutes.
Has incretin activity.
Is thought to use the GLP-1 receptor.
In the brain it suppresses ghrelin effects.

A

oxyntomodulin

38
Q

Expressed mainly in the duodenum and jejunum.
Several active forms (4 major forms)
In human plasma it is the CCK-33 form.
Increases within 15 minutes after eating and peaks at 25 but the half life is only 1-2 minutes.
Binds to GPCRs
Synergistic with leptin

A

CCK (cholecystokinin)

39
Q

When CCK binds to GPCRs, what happens?

A

gallbladder contracts
pancreatic enzymes are released
gastric emptying is inhibited

40
Q

What are the three pancreatic polypeptide family hormones?

A
2 gut hormones:
pancreatic polypeptide
peptide tyrosine tyrosine
CNS hormone:

41
Q

It does not cross the blood brain barrier.
It is expressed in the distal GI.
It increases after about 6 hours in proportion to caloric intake.
It increases in response to ghrelin, motilin & gastric distention.
It decreases ghrelin expression.

A

pancreatic polypeptide

42
Q

Pancreatic polypeptide increases in response to (blank x3) and decreases (blank) expression

A

ghrelin, motilin, & gastric distension;

ghrelin

43
Q

Produced and secreted from enteroendocrine L-cells of the ileum and colon.
Food composition is a potent regulator. Fat leads to the highest levels.
Is a potent agonist of Y1 but predominantly the Y2 receptor (increases POMC and decreases NPY)
Reduces ghrelin, gut motility, delays in gastric emptying, inhibits pancreatic bicarbonate and protein secretion and inhibits gallbladder contraction.
It has satiety effects via actions on the ARC nuclei in the hypothalamus.
