Hunger, satiety and feeding are regulated by neural circuits. Outline the specific neural circuits and molecules that control appetite and feeding behaviours. Discuss how appetite-regulating neural circuits could be utilised to treat obesity and type 2 diabetes, giving examples of such treatments. Use figures and diagrams to illustrate your answer.

Consider hunger and satiety. A mutation that stimulates an overproduction of leptin by adipocytes is predicted by the lipostatic theory of hunger and satiety to cause a/an... Note there may be more than one correct answer. increase in satiety increase in body weight decrease in body weight decrease in satiety
Name the protein that is up-regulated after a high energy content meal in an effort to increase energy expenditure to prevent the development of obesity.
There is some evidence that high protein diets naturally suppress appetite. How might that effect weight loss?
Which of the following are mechanisms that prevent the liver from using up glucose that is more urgently required by other tissues? (select all that apply) Group of answer choices Glucokinase (the liver's version of hexokinase) has a lower affinity for glucose than hexokinase does GLUT2 has a lower affinity for glucose than GLUT4 does The liver produces insulin when blood glucose levels are low The liver does not express a phosphofructokinase enzyme The liver increases glycolysis in response to glucagon
Outline the the role of circadian rhythm, hormones and receptors regulating appetite and metabolic activity.
. Name two hormones that regulate short-term hunger andsatiety. How does leptin differ from these in its effects?
What are the 3 macronutrients and how do each provide energy to the body? Define the fed, post-absorptive, fasting, and starved states. Outline changes in the utilization of glucose, fatty acids, amino acids, and ketone bodies as the body transitions from the fed state to the prolonged starvation state. Describe the impacts of insulin, glucagon, epinephrine, and cortisol on CHO, lipid, and protein metabolism. Describe the major pathways that occur in the liver, muscle, adipose tissue. Describe which hormones exercise tends to increase and potential impacts on pathways we’ve discussed. Describe the cori cycle and the glucose-alanine cycle. Describe differences in primary fuel sources by exercise intensity. Describe classical vs moderate CHO loading in preparation for competition in trained athletes. Simple to the point answers please!
Research has most clearly supported the idea that many people with anorexia nervosa continually have food-related thoughts and dreams because: the thoughts and dreams take place of the actual food, and serves to decrease the person's subjective sense of hunger the thoughts and dreams are the biological consequence of food deprivation (e.g., the brain stimulates the thoughts and dreams to encourage eating and weight restoration) the thoughts are very pleasant, and reinforce the person with anorexia for restricting her eating (i.e. through operant conditioning) O the thoughts and fantasies about food fulfill basic needs of the id, which were not adequately fulfilled in childhood
Which of the following is TRUE regarding liver metabolism? Select three of the following: The liver (hepatocytes) has hundreds of functions, such as producing glucose, ketones, fatty acids, cholesterol, proteins, and bile for the rest of the body. Hepatocytes have the GLUT2 antiporter, which allows for secondary active transport of glucose into the cells. Hepatocytes have glucokinase that continually makes glucose 6-phosphate, and it has a lower Km than other hexokinases so it continuously metabolizes glucose when concentrations are low. Glucose 6-phosphate is the "transfer station" in the liver since it can be made my multiple pathways and have multiple fates. The liver converts amino acids to citric acid cycle intermediates or pyruvate for gluconeogenesis. The liver oxidizes fatty acids into glucose, which can be sent to other cells and used for energy or converted into phospholipids and triacylglycerol.
