Obesity brain signals

by Alix Day
1

Which brain region integrates signals from adipose tissue, pancreas, GI tract to regulate energy balance?

2

Name the orexigenic neurons in the arcuate nucleus that stimulate appetite.

3

Which neurons in the arcuate nucleus suppress appetite?

4

To which hypothalamic areas do these arcuate neurons project to influence feeding?

5

What brain system modulates the hedonic value of food?

6

What typically happens to resting energy expenditure after weight loss?

7

Which hormone levels increase after weight loss, promoting hunger?

8

Name a satiety hormone that decreases after weight loss.

9

What overall physiological effect makes sustained weight loss difficult?

10

Which system links hedonic drive to food with hypothalamic signals?

Feedback

The hypothalamus integrates peripheral signals to regulate feeding and energy expenditure.

AgRP/NPY neurons promote hunger, opposing anorexigenic signals.

POMC/CART neurons are anorexigenic, reducing food intake.

Projection to LHA and PVN modulates feeding behavior.

Dopamine/serotonin pathways in the mesocorticolimbic system influence reward.

Weight loss is often followed by lower resting energy expenditure.

Ghrelin stimulates appetite and is elevated after weight loss.

Leptin signals fullness; its drop favors hunger after weight loss.

Post-weight-loss adaptations boost appetite and risk regain.

Reward circuits interact with hypothalamic signals to influence eating.
