4Leptin (high serum leptin
correlated with increased fat
stores/weight gain; also seen in
IR bec brain not responding to
leptin signals so keep eating>wt gain)
1a
hormone that suppresses appetite,
produced in fat cells, epithelium and
stomach, acts on receptors in
hypothalamus to tell it "I'm full,
stop eating", also stimulates gnRH,
LH, FSH from ant. pituitary
1b
Glucagon
2a
lipolytic, activates triglyceride
lipase in adipose tissue via
cAMP, causes increased blood
levels of fatty acids & glycerol
2b
BMR
3a
amount of daily energy
expended while at rest, only
enough energy is produced for
vital organ functioning, as it
increases, the # of mitochondria
in the body increases as well
3b
Resveratrol
4a
binds to and stimulates Sir2 sirtuin
enzyme mimicking the effect of caloric
restriction on longevity; it modulates
insulin-mediated glucose uptake in
muscles, it inhibits gene expression
profiles associated with skeletal and
cardiac mm aging
4b
CRP
5a
what inflammatory marker is
inversely correlated to bone
mineral density
5b
True
6a
T or F: in both men and
women, GH reduces cortical
osteocalcin; thus it increases
trabecular and cortical bone
content
6b
DHEA
7a
This hormone affects immune function by
increasing monocytes, increasing IGF1, incr B
cells, incr T cell mitogenic response, incr cells
expression of IL2 & IL3, thus fuctionally activating
T lymphocytes; most abundant hormone in the
body; inhibits breast cancer progression, prevents
blood clots, decreases bone loss, increases
memory, increases lean body mass; produced by
cholesterol
7b
Cortisol
8a
only hormone that increases
with age, involved in stress
response, increases BP,
BGlucose, suppresses immune
function
8b
somatostatin
9a
inhibits release of GH and
TSH, decreases gastric
emptying, inhibits GI
hormones
9b
IGF1
10a
active mediator of FH
10b...
