Term
___ is fastest growing disease in America.
Definition
-obesity
Term
components of energy expenditure:
Definition
- basal metabolism
- adaptive thermogenesis
- physical activity
Term
Pima Indians that live in the U.S. :
Definition
50% have type 2 diabetes
75% are overweight or obese
Term
Pima Indians that live in central america:
Definition
few are obese
few have diabetes
Term
Leptin and adipnectin are good. PAI-1, AGE, IL-6, TNFa, ASP, and resistin are bad.
Definition
Term
three areas of the brain involved with eating:
Definition
- cortex
- limbic areas
- hypothalamus
Term
what role to the cortex and limbic areas play in eating?
Definition
- cognitive and reward control of feeding
Term
what role does the hypothalamus play with eating?
Definition
- homeostatic control of eating
- energy expenditure
- hormones
Term
With increasing BMI, there is a ___ in the clearance of glucose from the blood.
Definition
- decrease
Term
Insulin resistance is a multisystem disorder. Explain how it affects adipose tissue, muscle, liver, endothelium.
Definition
- adipose tissue: increased NEFA and adipokine release
- muscle- decreased glucose disposal
- liver- increased gluconeogenesis and hepatic glucose output
- endothelium- endothelial dysfunction
Term
what is a major contributor to insulin resistance?
Definition
- abdominal obesity
- overabundance of circulating fatty acids
Term
abdominal obesity leads to:
Definition
- Increases fatty acids in systemic circulation
- Intra-abdominal obesity increases the flux of adipose tissue-derived free fatty acids to the liver. In the liver, fatty acids exert direct effects on:
Glucose production
Lipid synthesis
Secretion of prothrombotic proteins
Term
how does abdominal obesity lead to insulin resistance?
Definition
- IL-6, TNF-a, cytokines result in inflammation
- ultimately the insulin receptor IRS1 and 2 won't work
Term
location (visceral fat) has been demonstrated to have important metabolic consequences. One of these consequences is the release of free fatty acids in the blood stream, which is directly responsible for insulin resistance. In addition, overloaded adipocytes also produce various cytokines involved in subclinical inflammatory process and oxidative stress. An important effect of these adipocytokines is the alteration of insuline receptor sbustrate which is also involved in the insulin resistance process.
Definition
Term
explain how someone gets T2DM?
Definition
- genetic defects so that beta cells don't secrete insulin as they should
- obesity> insulin resistance so inadequat use of glucose
- hyperglycemia
- beta cell exhaustion
- T2DM
Term
fasting blood glucose must be above:
Definition
60 mg/100 mL
Term
pathophysiology defects with T2DM:
Definition
- increased glucagon from alpha cells
- decreased insulin from beta cells
- hyperglycemia
- insulin resistance
- decreased glucose uptake by muscle and fat
Term
rare inherited mutations that might lead to insulin resistance:
Definition
- insulin receptor
- glucose transporter
- signaling proteins
Term
results of metabolic syndrome:
Definition
- reduced glucose tolerance
- hyperinsulinemia
- hypertension
- visceral obesity
- hemostatic disorders
- elevated TG
- normal or slightly elevated LDL
- HDL diminished
