Study Notes
Long-Term Regulation of Body Weight and the Role of Leptin and Insulin
- Long-term weight regulation is important for maintaining fat stores during food shortages and adapting to seasonal variations like hibernation and migration.
- Lipostatic theory addresses the need to maintain or change long-term body weight, with fat being the body's main energy store.
- The body has a set point for fat, and it works to restore weight to this set point if it changes due to environmental or genetic factors.
- Homeostasis is the process of maintaining a particular set point, and both lipostatic and glucostatic theories are homeostatic models.
- Leptin, a hormone secreted by white fat cells, serves as a marker for fat store levels and affects hunger and satiety.
- Leptin levels are associated with inhibition of hunger and stimulation of satiety, but during fasting or dieting, leptin levels may drop, stimulating appetite.
- Leptin deficiency in mice and humans can lead to obesity, and leptin injections may help reverse this condition, but not in cases of leptin receptor deficiency.
- Leptin secretion follows a circadian rhythm, impacting short-term energy intake and potentially contributing to conditions like Night Eating Disorder.
- Lipostatic theory has held up well, while the glucostatic theory has faced challenges, including the correlation of BSL ratio with hunger and the hunger-inducing effect of artificially raised insulin levels.
- Insulin, a hormone primarily regulating carbohydrate metabolism, plays a crucial role in regulating blood sugar levels and has various metabolic effects.
- Type I diabetes results from the absence of insulin, while Type II diabetes, linked to body mass, involves insulin resistance and can lead to long-term complications.
- Insulin's effects on appetite are complex, as artificially raising insulin levels before a meal can trigger hunger, and cues to food can also influence appetite.
