Recommended Total Cholesterol, HDL, and LDL Levels • Total cholesterol = 200 mg/dl or less – Levels > 200 mg/dl linked to atherosclerosis • Form in which cholesterol transported in blood important to measure • High HDL thought to protect against heart disease; >60 good; <40 not good • High LDL cholesterol deposits in vessels; 100 or less good; 130 or above not good © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Plasma Cholesterol Levels • The liver produces cholesterol – At a basal level regardless of dietary cholesterol intake – In response to saturated fatty acids © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Plasma Cholesterol Levels • Ratio of saturated/unsaturated fatty acids affects blood cholesterol levels • Saturated fatty acids – Stimulate liver synthesis of cholesterol – Inhibit cholesterol excretion from body • Unsaturated fatty acids – Enhance excretion of cholesterol – Enhance cholesterol catabolism to bile salts © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Plasma Cholesterol Levels • Trans fats – Healthy oils forced to be solids • E.g., margarine – Worse effect on cholesterol levels than saturated fats – Increase LDLs and reduce HDLs © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Plasma Cholesterol Levels • Unsaturated omega-3 fatty acids (found in cold-water fish) – Lower proportions of saturated fats and cholesterol – Make platelets less sticky help prevent spontaneous clotting – Antiarrhythmic effects on heart – Lower blood pressure © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

Homeostatic Imbalance • Statins – Cholesterol-lowering drugs – Estimated >10 million Americans take statins © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Energy Balance • Bond energy released from food must equal total energy output • Energy intake = energy liberated during food oxidation • Energy output – Immediately lost as heat (~60%) – Used to do work (driven by ATP) – Stored as fat or glycogen © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Energy Balance • Nearly all energy from food eventually converted to heat - cannot be used to do work • Heat energy – Warms tissues and blood – Helps maintain homeostatic body temperature – Allows metabolic reactions to occur efficiently • If energy intake = energy output – weight stable • If not equal – gain or loss of weight © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Obesity • Body mass index (BMI) = W / H2 (W in kg, H in m) • Considered overweight if BMI 25 to 30 • Considered obese if BMI greater than 30 – Higher incidence of atherosclerosis, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, heart disease, and osteoarthritis • More adults and children overweight than 20 years ago © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Regulation of Food Intake • Various nuclei of hypothalamus – Release peptides influence feeding behavior • neuropeptide Y (NPY) enhances appetite • pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) and cocaine/amphetamine-regulated transcript (CART) suppress appetite © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

Factors that Influence BMR • BMR increases as ratio of body surface area to volume increases • Decreases with age • Males have disproportionately higher BMR • Increases with temperature or stress • Thyroxine increases oxygen consumption, cellular respiration, and BMR • Physical training has little effect on BMR © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Metabolic Rate • Total metabolic rate (TMR) – Rate of kilocalorie consumption to fuel all ongoing activities – Increases with skeletal muscle activity and food ingestion (food-induced thermogenesis) • Greatest with protein and alcohol ingestion © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Regulation of Body Temperature • Body temperature reflects balance between heat production and heat loss • At rest, liver, heart, brain, kidneys, endocrine organs generate most heat • During exercise, heat production from skeletal muscles increases dramatically © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Regulation of Body Temperature • Normal body temperature = 37C 5C (98.6F) – Optimal enzyme activity at this temperature • Increased temperature denatures proteins and depresses neurons – Children <5 convulsions at 41C(106F) – ~43C (109F) - limit for life • Tissues tolerate low body temperatures © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Core and Shell Temperature • Core (organs within skull, thoracic & abdominal cavities) has highest temperature – Rectal temperature best clinical indicator • Core temperature regulated; fairly constant – Blood - major agent of heat exchange between core and shell • Shell (skin) – lowest temperature – Fluctuates between 20C – 40C © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Mechanisms of Heat Exchange • Four mechanisms of heat transfer – Radiation - loss of heat by infrared rays – Conduction - transfer of heat by direct contact – Convection - transfer of heat to surrounding air – Evaporation - heat loss due to evaporation of water from body surfaces • Heat absorbed by water during evaporation – heat of vaporization © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Mechanisms of Heat Exchange • Insensible heat loss accompanies insensible water loss from lungs, oral mucosa, and skin – Loss ~ 10% of basal heat production • Sensible heat loss – when body temperature rises and sweating increases water vaporization © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Role of the Hypothalamus • Hypothalamus receives afferent input from – Peripheral thermoreceptors in shell (skin) – Central thermoreceptors (some in hypothalamus) in core • Initiates appropriate heat-loss and heatpromoting activities © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

Homeostatic Imbalance • Hyperthermia – Elevated body temperature depresses hypothalamus – Positive-feedback mechanism (heat stroke) begins at core temperature of 41C increased temperatures • Skin hot and dry; organs damaged – Can be fatal if not corrected © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Homeostatic Imbalance • Heat exhaustion – Heat-associated collapse after vigorous exercise – Due to dehydration and low blood pressure – Heat-loss mechanisms still functional – May progress to heat stroke if not cooled and rehydrated promptly © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Homeostatic Imbalance • Hypothermia – Low body temperature from cold exposure • Vital signs decrease – Shivering stops at core temperature of 30 - 32C – Can progress to coma and death by cardiac arrest at ~ 21C © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Fever • Controlled hyperthermia • Due to infection (also cancer, allergies, or CNS injuries) • Macrophages release cytokines (also called pyrogens) – Cause release of prostaglandins from hypothalamus © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Fever • Prostaglandins reset hypothalamic thermostat higher – heat-producing mechanisms – temperature rises • Natural body defenses or antibiotics reverse disease process – Cryogens (e.g., vasopressin) reset thermostat to lower (normal) level heat-loss mechanisms temperature falls © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
