Chapter 50.4, Problem 4R
Summary Introduction
To review:
The results, which led to the conclusion that nutritional state alters the body mass and not just the ability to produce satiety or hunger.
Introduction:
Many areas of brain are involved in controlling the desire to eat and feeling of satiety or feeling full. The hypothalamus is an area of the brain, which has many small nuclei with a variety of functions.

The brain can also use ketone bodies as fuel in addition to utilising glucose when it is present.Even the use of ketone bodies as a fuel source for the brain rather than glucose is supported by data.How are ketone bodies used by the brain? Discuss how brain metabolism is thought to be changed inneurodegenerative diseases(refer to the figure below) How does the brain benefit from using ketone bodies as fuel in these cases(refer to Figure below)Refer to the article " Effects of Ketone Bodies on Brain Metabolism and Function in Neurodegenerative Diseases" to answer the questions. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7699472/
The _____ is an area of the hypothalamus that initiates eating and controls several aspects of feeding behavior and metabolic processes. It controls chewing and swallowing, salivation, gastric juice secretion, and insulin production. It also arouses the cortex, causing increased locomotion and food-seeking behavior.
A) lateral hypothalamus
B) suprachiasmatic nucleus
C) subfornical nucleus

(a) increases, or (b) decrease. I read some papers that look contradictory. One says that NPY decreases latency to eat, increases motivation to eat, and develops satiety by augmenting meal size. While the other paper says that when the NPY receptors are activated, the expression of NPY is down-regulated to decrease appetite and food intake. Glad if the expert advise.arrow_forward

In essence, students are placing an insulin gene from the human pancreas into the bacterial genome. This was done to produce genetically engineered bacteria that make a human protein. Which question addresses the ethical concerns regarding this biotechnological method? A. Will the insulin produced by the bacteria be réadily used by humans? B. Will the insulin produced by genetically altered bacteria increase the chances of individuals becoming ill? C. Will the bacteria become part of the human genome after the addition of the insulin gene? D. Will the insulin produced by genetically altered bacteria be viewed by different religious groups needing to be treated for diabetes? Cearrow_forward

Which of the following best describes this situation. This was a testing experiment because it happened in Pavlov's lab. This was a testing experiment because Pavlov's assistants were interacting with the dogs rather than passively observing them. This was an observational experiment because Pavlov was not testing a hypothesis when he observed this. This was not an experiment because Pavlov did not intend to make this observation. This was an observational experiment because Pavlov did not take any measurements.arrow_forwardBriefly describe why there could be a possible link between TAS2R38 sensitivity and obesity.

He wakes up early morning at the funeral grounds feeling very hungry but again refused to eat but rather ordered for alcohol. Hours later, after he had drunk the alcohol, he became unconscious and was rushed to the nearest hospital and later developed coma. A request by the clinician and a blood analysis by the laboratory scientist revealed low blood glucose levels. Briefly explain the mechanism behind the low blood glucose level and the development of coma by the patient.arrow_forward
