hey guys
2
so today's video is going to be on appetite control i'm going to be talking about the two main hormones
3
that regulate appetite so that includes ghrelin and leptin
4
and these guys are here to make sure
5
that you either don't get too fat or too skinny
6
so you don't have too many calories or too few by controlling hunger behavior
7
so because they're homeostatic hormones they obviously are going to act on the hypothalamus
8
so they each act on a different region of the hypothalamus
9
and either trigger hunger as in the case for ghrelin or satiety as in the case for leptin.
10
So let's get into a couple of details about ghrelin here.
11
So ghrelin is our appetite hormone.
12
An easy way to remember this is that when you're hungry your stomach growls.
13
So GHR for growl and that is for appetite.
14
All right
15
so this ghrelin hormone is produced by X cells in the stomach they release it into the bloodstream
16
and it travels to the lateral hypothalamus in the brain
17
this then causes the hunger response so it causes you to go seek and look for more food
18
all right another function of ghrelin is
19
that it's going to prepare the body for this food
20
so this ghrelin is going to go ahead
21
and act on the stomach itself and it's going to increase gastric motility
22
and gastric acid production to prepare the body for the food
23
that the lateral hypothalamus just ordered ghrelin is induced by two major inducers
24
so hypoglycemia and low body weight
25
so let's say you have low blood sugar as in the case for hypoglycemia or low
26
or you're very thin as in the case of low body weight you're going to want to fix
27
that by eating more food
28
an inhibitor for ghrelin includes stomach distension so
29
if you see over here on the diagram on the right distending the stomach is going to decrease ghrelin
30
and decrease appetite because you have a bunch of food in the stomach
31
and you don't eat anymore all right so let's hop over to leptin
32
so leptin is our satiety hormone and it is produced by our white fat
33
so these white adipose cells over here are going to produce our leptin
34
and as these cells go bigger and bigger and bigger they're going to produce more and more leptin.
35
So the fat is kind of doing a negative feedback on itself.
36
So fat produces more leptin.
37
This goes to the ventromedial hypothalamus.
38
Then we're going to get inhibition of food intake and the fats kind of get smaller.
39
So the fat is controlling itself in this case.
40
And an easy way to remember that leptin is produced by fat cells is
41
that I think of L for lipid and L for leptin and
42
inducers for leptin include insulin and emotional stress
43
so let's say you have high blood glucose you're going to have high insulin
44
and that's going to induce leptin say let's stop eating our blood sugar is high enough
45
and then emotional stress
46
so let's say you're running away from a tiger
47
you don't have time to think about those yummy blueberries in the bush
48
you're too busy devoting all your energy to fight or flight
49
so those are inducers for leptin so let's not be hungry in these cases.
50
And then inhibitors for leptin include short -term fasting.
51
So let's say you haven't eaten for eight, nine hours, your leptin response is going to be inhibited and ghrelin is going to take over.
52
So both ghrelin and leptin are in your system all the time, just the levels are different.
53
So sometimes ghrelin is higher and you're going to feel hungry and sometimes leptin is higher and you're going to feel satiated.
54
Let's talk about the hypothalamus for a second.
55
So these hormones are produced in the stomach and in the fat, and they're going to travel up to the hypothalamus,
56
and they're going to act either on the lateral or the medial hypothalamus.
57
So here in purple, we have the lateral hypothalamus, and here in blue, we have the medial hypothalamus.
58
So what does the lateral hypothalamus react to?
59
That's right, it's going to react to ghrelin, so it's going to cause you to be hungry.
60
Now in this case, the experimenters lesioned it, so they cut the lateral hypothalamus in these mice.
61
What's going to happen to this mouse?
62
Well it's going to get thinner because now our leptin is our predominant hormone
63
and it's telling the mouse I'm full all the time I don't need to eat
64
and ghrelin can no longer act on the lateral hypothalamus.
65
All right so let's say we lesion the ventromedial hypothalamus these two blue dots right here.
66
Well now ghrelin response is going to be more predominant
67
so our mouse is going to feel hungry all the time
68
and it's going to be fat
69
so we need a balance between these two hormones to get
70
our mouse just in the right weight range where it's not undernourished or overnourished.
71
An easy way to remember this is
72
that our lateral hypothalamus makes you grow laterally so
73
if we draw a guy over here let's say this is a skinny guy
74
and then this is a fatter version of himself so lateral hypothalamus makes you grow laterally
75
while the medial hypothalamus makes you grow medially, so you're going to get thinner.
76
Okay, so that's an easy way to remember this.
77
Okay, so let's do a little bit of a clinical correlate before we end off here, just to hammer the point home.
78
So here we have two obese people, but they're obese for different reasons.
79
Over here on the left, we have someone with Prater -Willi syndrome, which is a mutation on chromosome 15.
80
Now Prader -Willi does a bunch of things,
81
but one of the things it does in correspondence with ghrelin and leptin is that it increases ghrelin levels.
82
So now this man is going to feel hungry all the time and that's the cause for his obesity.
83
In contrast over here this small child has congenital obesity, so what that causes is an insensitivity to leptin.
84
So our medial hypothalamus right in here blue is no longer sensitive to leptin
85
which means this child does not feel satiated
86
at all so they're going to keep eating and eating
87
and eating so in both these people the ghrelin response is overactive in here
88
because they're on the right because there's more ghrelin
89
and on the left because there is an increase on decrease in leptin sensitivity
90
so ghrelin response is going to be more active in congenital obesity as well as Prader -Willi.
91
So that's often tested on boards just in case you want to remember these small facts.
92
All right, so I hope this video helped.
93
If you have any questions, please leave them in the comments, and I'll see you in the next one.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
