maintenance of body metabolism and insulin sensitivity

cardiovascular protective effects

28
Q

What is the origin of leptin

A

adipocytes

29
Q

What does adiponectin do

A

insulin sensitizing and anti-inflammatory hormone

30
Q

subcutaneous depots or visceral depots?

estrogen induces

A

subcutaneous

31
Q

BMI ___ -____ = overweight

A

25-29.5

32
Q

subcutaneous depots or visceral depots?

interleukin-6

A

visceral

33
Q

What does adiponectin do?

A

increased oxidation of FFA
anti-inflammatory effects
BENEFICIAL EFFECTS ON INSULIN RESISTANCE

34
Q

subcutaneous depots or visceral depots?

M2

A

subcutaneous

**anti-inflammatory

35
Q

BMI over ____ = obese

A

30

36
Q

subcutaneous depots or visceral depots?

lepin

A

subcutaneous

37
Q

What is the origin of interleukin-6?

A

WAT, macrophages

38
Q

What is the difference between brown and beige fat

A

beige fat is actually WHITE fat with intermediate mitochondria, UCP1 and lipid droplets compared to BAT

39
Q

subcutaneous depots or visceral depots?

adiponectin

A

subcutaneous

40
Q

What is the origin of tumor necrosis factor a?

A

adipocytes, macrophages

41
Q

What does adiponectin do to the liver

A

promote glucose uptake and storage

42
Q

how fat deposition occurs in the body =

A

adiposity

43
Q

What does adiponectin do to cardiovascular system

A

attenuates blood pressure

anti-atherogenic

44
Q

How does leptin resistance cause obesity?

A

normally leptin inhibits insulin secretion
when lost, hyperinsulinemia increases weight gain

increased appetite

leptin also stimulates gluconeogensis

45
Q

calculation of BMI the ‘merica way

A

weight (lbs) x 703/ height (inches)

46
Q

How is Brown fat a heat generating organ?

A

UCP-1 transcription
BAT mitochondria are uncoupled
Food energy —> heat energy
