Q

what is cholecystokinin (CCK)?

A

a pancreatic enzyme- a neuropeptide, released postprandially in the gut in repsonse to food stimuli particularly fats and proteins exists in a variety of forms CCK8, CCK33, CC58- CCK8 needs 8 amino acids the rest are the 8 plus the extra

Q

what does CCK do?

A

potent and dose dependent inhibition of food intake. in a study by gibbs, young, smith 1973- the higher the dose the greater the inhibition of feeding in rodents. actually stopped fasted animals from eating, but does not occur in the same way with water. so cck is receptive to food intake and nothing else- its function is to stop one from eating

Q

what study did ballinger et al 1995 conduct on cck function

A

6 healthy subjects. iv infusion of cck8 at doses that reproduced physiological postprandial concentrations. plasma concentrations of cck taken and effect of cck8 on subsequent food intake in standard test meal. found that food intake was significantly less during cck8 than during saline infusion. during cck8 infusion plasma concentrations increased immediately before the meal

Q

what is the controversy over cck?

A

there is evidence (verbalis and stricker) have always argued that injection of cck induces nausea and sickness- evdience for this: cck administration causes increases in plasma levels of oxytocin. oxytocin secretion comparable to that found in repsonse to nausea producing chemicals that could cause taste aversion

Q

what is conditioned taste aversion?

A

reductions in food intake are achieved in a variety of ways- eg signals of satiety visceral illness. in non verbal nonematic species the identification of gastrointestinal distress is difficult. technique used to assess aversion consequences of pharmacological manipulation. present animals with novel tastant. administer drug causing visceral illness. on repeated administration of original tastant consumption is remarkably reduced

Q

what study shows the effect of CCK8 and LiCL on feeding?

A

IP infusion of CCK8 and licl at increasing doses. relative aversiveness of the compounds measured and effects of food intake compared. found that all doses of licl induced strong aversion. the highest dose of cck8 induced mild aversion. all doses of cck8 reduced food intake significantly. a very high dose of licl reduced food intake but the rats were obviously distressed. conclusion that reduction of food intake by cck8 is not due to aversion

what does ghrelin do?

A

stimulates feeding and weight gain- weight gain in entirely due to fat mass

33
Q

when do ghrelin concentrations rise and fall?

A

plasma ghrelin concentrations rise during fasting and fall promptly after eating

34
Q

what study by faulconbridge et al 2003 shows the role of ghrelin?

A

central injection of ghrelin to rodents- food intake and meal patterning effects were measured

35
Q

what were the findings from the faulconbridge et al 2003 ghrelin study?

A

ghrelin administration significantly increased food intake, time between injection and the first meal was reduced, trend towards an increase int he average size of the first meal, conclusion: endogenous ghrelin acts as hunger signal

36
Q

what study by wren et al 2001 showed the effects of ghrelin?

A

none healthy volunteers, intravenous ghrelin or saline infusion, food intake and subjective hunger scores measured

37
Q

what was found from the wren et al 2001 ghrelin study?

A

ghrelin administration significantly increased food intake, ghrelin enhanced visual analogue scores for hunger, conclusion: ghrelin is a potent hunger signal in man

38
Q

what study by cummings et al 2004 shows the role of ghrelin?

A

six healthy male volunteers, measure ghrelin levels before spontaneously initiated meals not promted by external cues, plasma ghrelin and subjective hunger scores measured

39
Q

what were the findings from the cummings et al 2004 study?

A

preprandial increase in ghrelin, similar profiles for hunger scores and ghrelin levels, conclusion: ghrelin plays a role in meal initiation

40
Q

what did the arosio et al 2004 study show about the role of ghrelin?

A

sixteen healthy volunteers, examien the effects of the cephalic phase on ghrelin response to feeding, plasma ghrelin measured

41
Q

what were the findings of the arosio et al 2004 study?

A

significant decreases in ghrelin after sham and real feed, no difference between the patterns of repsonse, conclusion: the cephalic repsonse to nutrient intake plays a role in the control of ghrelin secretion

42
Q

when are ghrelin levels higher than normal and lower than normal?

A

plasma ghrelin concentrations are increased in anorexia and decreased in obesity

43
Q

after what surgery do ghrelin levels fall?

A

ghrelin levels fall after gastric bypass surgery

44
Q

when are plasma ghrelin concentrations increased?

A

plasma ghrelin concentrations are increased after weight loss induced by dieting

45
Q

how does ghrelin mediate its effects?

A

By stimulating hypothalamic orexigenic neurones that enhance feeding eg NPY

46
Q

what does ghrelin appear to act as in rodents?

A

as a peripheral hunger signal to promote appetite and fat accretion

47
Q

what study by cummings et al 2002 shows the effects of gastric bypass on ghrelin levels?

A

13 obese, 5 gastric bypass and 10 normal weight controls, 24hr plasma ghrelin profiles measured

48
Q

what was found from the cummings et al 2002 study on ghrelin levels of gastric bypass patients?

A

17% diet- induced weight loss in obese associated with 24% increase in ghrelin, 36% weight loss after bypass associated with 77% reduced in ghrelin, conclusion: weight reducing effects of bypass appear to be associated with reduced ghrelin levels, increased in ghrelin after diet induced weight loss might contribute to rebound weight gain

49
Q

which syndrome are plasma ghrelin levels elevated in?

A

patients with pradi willi syndrome

50
Q

what do obese people fail to do?

A

obese individuals fail to suppress ghrelin secretion postprandially

51
Q

what study by english et al 2002 shows the effects of a test meal on plasma ghrelin levels?

A

12 lean and 10 obese volunteers, examine the effects of a test meal on plasma ghrelin levels, plasma ghrelin (overnight fast and at 30 minute intervals after test meal) measured

52
Q

what were the findings of the english et al 2002 test meal ghrelin levels study?

A

fasting ghrelin higher in lean subjects, plasma ghrelin fell by 40% in lean subjects after meal, no change in circulating ghrelin in obese group, conclusion: lack of ghrelin suppression in obese could lead to increased food intake and be involved in obesity

53
Q

what are tonic factors?

A

factors that are involved in long term appetite regulation, can influence short term appetite regulation

54
Q

what are episodic factors?

A

regulate short term appetite

55
Q

what does adipose tissue contain?

A

fat cells

56
Q

what factor is released by fat cells?

A

leptin- it is a natural adiposity signal

57
Q

what does leptin do?

A

it is the means by which energy stores signal to the CNS to alter subsequent eating behaviour - it is a potent reducer of food intake

58
Q

what happens to leptin when energy stores increase?

A

endogenous leptin is released from fat cells when energy stores increase. it stimulates CNS receptors causing a reduction in energy (food intake) and increase in energy expenditure

59
Q

what does leptin act as for adipose tissue?

A

leptin acts as a negative feedback loop for adipose tissue to counteract any increase in body fat

60
Q

what is leptin encoded by?

A

leptin is encoded by the ob gene

61
Q

what do mutations of the mouse ob gene result in

A

the ob/bo syndrome

62
Q

what is the ob/bo mouse characterized by?

A

hyperphagia and reduced energy expenditure - leading to obesity

63
Q

how many distinct mutations of the ob gene have been identified

A

two distinct mutations

64
Q

what are ob/bo mice sensitive to

A

the effects of exogenous leptin and repsond with reductions in food intake and obesity

65
Q

is human obesity due to leptin deficiency or defects in leptin signalling?

A

small number of obese individuals with leptin deficiency due to mutations in the ob/bo gene have been identified

66
Q

what did the montague et al 1997 study find

A

identified 2 severly obese pakistani cousins whose plasma leptin levels were very low compared to normal lean children due to a truncation in the gene

67
Q

what did the strobel et al 1998 study find

A

identified a missense mutation in the leptin gene of 3 morbidly obese members of an extended turkish family

68
Q

what did the farooqi e tal 2002 study find about the administration of leptin to achieve 10% of normal leptin concentrations?

A

body composition and food intake and energy expditure were measured, found that treatment was well tolerated, sustained reductions in appetite food intake and body weight, reduction in body weight due almost entirely to fat loss,, no effects on energy expenditure

69
Q

what are rare in humans?

A

mutations affecting the leptin receptor gene are also rare in humans

70
Q

what was found about leptin gene mutations in the clement et al 1998 study?

A

identify a mutations in the leptin receptors gene, results in a truncated receptor lacking both the transmembrane and intracellular domains, patients have early onset morbid obesity and no pubertal development, individuals with mutations in the leptin receptor do not benefit from leptin treatment

71
Q

what do most obese people not possess?

A

a leptin deficiency- they produce excess leptin- it has been suggested the display leptin insensitivity or leptin resistance

72
Q

what is the evidence for about rodents and leptin

A

rodents can develop lpetin resistance under certain conditions eg saturation of brain leptin trasnporters in rodents with obesity due to voluntary overconsumption of a palatable diet, the concept remains enitrely speculative in humans

73
Q

does leptin enhance satiety?

A

the ability of leptin to reduce food intake is well established but the mechnaisms of this effect is largely unknown

74
Q

what did kahler et al 1998 demonstrate about the chronic administration of leptin

A

chronic administration of leptin in 24 male rats reduced food intake by selectively reducing meal size, nocturnal spontaneous meal size was decreased by 21-34% but no effect on nocturnal meal frequency or duration was observed, indicates that recombinant leptin affects the mechanisms controlling meal size in rats= satiety

75
Q

what was the study in which barrachina et al 1997 demonstrated the interaction between episodic and tonic factors

A

co-inject leptin and CCK at subthreshold doses. findings: low doses of leptin alone had no influence on feeding. co-inkection of subthreshold doses of leptin and CCK decreased food intake by 47-83%. action of leptin and cck was blocked by ccka receptor antagonists. these results indicate the existence of a functional synergistic interaction between leptin and CCK
