Term
energy balance=
Definition
energy intake and energy expenditure
Term
energy intake= energy expenditure
Definition
energy balance, weight is stable
Term
energy intake> expenditure
Definition
positive energy balance
weight increase
Term
intake< expenditure
Definition
negative energy balance
weight decrease
Term
positive energy blance elevates - stimulating -
negative energy balance means - stimulated -
Definition
insulin lipogenesis
insulin lipolysis
Term
fat mass (adipocity) is determined by combo of
Definition
number and size of adipocutes making up tissue
Term
hypertonic
Definition
increase in cell size
Term
hyperplasia
Definition
increase in cell number
Term
during negative energy balance adipocytes
Definition
decrease in size, number stays the same
Term
physical cues that initiate and terminate eating
Definition
hunger
satiety
Term
psycholgical stimuli that override hunger and staiety referred to
Definition
appetite
Term
healthy eating:
Definition
eating in response to hunger and stopping when full
Term
hunger and satiety could be turned off in rats by
Definition
stimulating different parts of brain
Term
part of brain reg food intake
Definition
hypothalamus
Term
anabolic neuropeptides
Definition
stimulate hunger and weight gain by increasing hunger and decreasing energy expenditure
Term
neural signals to hypothalamus
Definition
gastric stretching signals satiety (release catabolic neuropeptide)
Term
Hormonal signals to hypothalamus
Definition
CCK- satiety
Ghrelin- hunger
Term
concentratiosn of nutrients in blood to hypothalamus
Definition
low glucose- hunger
elevated glucose, FA, AA, satiety
Term
gastric banding
Definition
limits amount of food held in stomach
Term
gastric bypass
Definition
limits food intake, amount digested, and absorbed
Term
3 components of total energy expenditure
Definition
Basal metabolism- needed for bodily functions
Energy needs for physical activities
Energy to process food
Term
thermic effect of food
Definition
10%
Term
Basal Metabolism %
Definition
60
Term
BMR
Definition
basal metabolism rate
energy expended/hour
Term
primary factors effecting BMR
Definition
body comp
weight/height
Age
SSex
thyroid functino
food restriction
Term
after age __ BMR decrease __% every 10 years
Definition
30
2-5%
Term
overweight vs obese
Definition
overweight= excess weight for height
obese- too much fat
Term
BMI is -- with adiposity and wieght related morbidity and mortality
Definition
strongly correlated
Term
limits of BMI
Definition
unfit-normal BMI but high levels of body fat or high BMI with low BF
Term
ppl who are moderately overweight but have high fitness tend to
Definition
live longer than not overweight but low fitness
Term
strongest predictor of weight related morbidity-mortality
Definition
abdominal fat
Central (visceral ) adiposity
Term
Visceral Adipose tissue is -- different from subcutaneous adipose tissue
VAT is associated with -- collectively known as
Definition
metaboliicaly
insulin resistance, elevated blood glucose, elevated blood lipids, hypertension
metabolic syndrome
Term
Metabolic syndrome increases risk for
Definition
type 2 diabetes
heart disease
dementia
Term
Measuring VAT by
Definition
measuring waist circumferance
Term
factors for accumulating VAT
Definition
genetics
gender(more in males)
Hormonal imbalance
-menopause, polycistic ovary syndrome
Term
factors contributing to obesity epidemic
Definition
abundance of energy dense food
too little exercise
Term
Coleman's question
Definition
could there be something in the lean mouse that could make the obese mouse lose weight
Term
When lean and obese mouse were joined by parabiosis:
Definition
lean mouse lost weight and starved to death
no weight change in obese mouse
Term
when obese mouse joined with diabetic
Definition
ob lost weight
db didnt change
Term
when db and lean joined
Definition
db increased weight
lean mouse starved
Term
ob mouse lacked
Definition
satiety signal
Term
db mouse problem:
Definition
couldn't "hear" the satiety signal
Term
Friedman discovered
Definition
gene in adipose tissue encodes for leptin hormone
Term
leptin, the satiety signal is made by - meaning more - the more -
Definition
adipose tissue
adipose tissue more leptin
Term
when ob mouse injected with leptin:
Definition
lost weight
Term
when db mouse injected with leptin
Definition
no change bc they lack leptin receptor s
Term
summary of negative energy balance
Definition
less leptin reaches brain
anabolic neuropeptides are released and catabolic neuropeptides are suppressed. Favors increased food intake and decrease energy expeded and weight gain
Term
summary of positive energy balance
Definition
more leptin reaches brain, catabolic neuropeptide are released, anabolic are supressed, facors decreaed food intake, increase energy expended, and weight loss
