Brain adipocytokine action and metabolic regulation.
Adipose tissue secretes factors that control various physiological systems. The fall in leptin during fasting mediates hyperphagia and suppresses thermogenesis, thyroid and reproductive hormones, and immune system. On the other hand, rising leptin levels in the fed state stimulate fatty acid oxidation, decrease appetite, and limit weight gain. These divergent effects of leptin occur through neu...
متن کاملAdiponectin: a key adipocytokine in metabolic syndrome.
The metabolic syndrome, a cluster of metabolic disorders often associated with visceral obesity, increases cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. As the body's largest endocrine organ, adipose tissue not only stores excess body energy, but also secretes a variety of bioactive adipocytokines. Obese patients, particularly those with visceral fat accumulation, have reduced plasma levels of adipon...
متن کاملSirtuins: from metabolic regulation to brain aging
Brain aging is characterized by progressive loss of neurophysiological functions that is often accompanied by age-associated neurodegeneration. Calorie restriction has been linked to extension of lifespan and reduction of the risk of neurodegenerative diseases in experimental model systems. Several signaling pathways have been indicated to underlie the beneficial effects of calorie restriction,...
متن کاملMetabolic Regulation of Brain Response to Food Cues
Identification of energy sources depends upon the ability to form associations between food cues and nutritional value. As such, cues previously paired with calories elicit neuronal activation in the nucleus accumbens (NAcc), which reflects the reinforcing value of food. The identity of the physiological signals regulating this response remains elusive. Using fMRI, we examined brain response to...
متن کاملParent-Offspring Transmission of Adipocytokine Levels and Their Associations with Metabolic Traits
Adipose tissue secreted cytokines (adipocytokines) have significant effects on the physiology and pathology of human metabolism relevant to diabetes and cardiovascular disease. We determined the relationship of the pattern of these circulating hormones with obesity-related phenotypes and whether such pattern is transmitted from parent to offspring. A combined total of 403 individuals from 156 c...
