Hypothalamus - Homeostatsis
Regulatory process: Regulates body temperature and blood composition
• Hypothalamus commands in cold weather• Shiver, goosebumps, turn blue
• Hypothalamus commands in hot weather• Turn red, sweat
p484
Homeostatsis – Negative Feeedback
In negative feedback the body responds to an extreme condition by reversing the current direction of change (thus the term negative feedback). The goal is to always keep the internal conditions within a normal range.

Homeostatsis Hypothalamic Regulation
Three components of how hypothamalus neurons respond to sensory signals
Humoral response:
Stimulating or inhibiting release of pituitary hormones into the blood stream
Visceromotor response:
Adjust the balance of the sympathetic and parasympathetic outputs of the ANS
Somatic motor response:
Appropriate somatic motor behavioral response

Genetic Basis to Weight
Identical twins (Monozygote) have almost exactly the same genetic make-up. Non-identical twins (Dizygote), on the other hand, share about 50% of the genetic traits. It has been shown from twin studies that percentage of heritability of obesity ranges between 70 % to 80% - the only trait being higher than obesity is your height!
Leptin is the afferent signal in a negative feedback loop that maintains homeostatic control of adipose mass. It circulates in the blood and acts on the brain to regulate food intake. When fat mass falls, plasma leptin concentrations fall too, stimulating appetite and suppressing energy expenditure until fat mass is restored. When fat mass increases, leptin levels increase, suppressing appetite until weight is lost. This system maintains homeostatic control of adipose tissue mass. Leptin thus conveys nutritional information to specific neural populations in the brain, which in turn regulate most, and perhaps all, other physiological systems. This homeostatic system enables mammalian organisms to maintain optimal levels of stored energy (fat) under a wide range of environmental conditions.

Three Hypothalamic Nuclei Important for Feeding
p516
Increase Leptin Levels – Body Fat is Increased
– Activation of aMSH and CART containing arcuate neurons
– aMSH: alpha melanocyte stimulating hormone, – CART = cocaine- and ampethamine-regulated
transcripts
CAREFUL HERE –
– alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone is a post-translational derivative of proopiomelanocortin, Pomc – THEREFORE MANY INTRO BOOKS TALK OF POMC

Increase Leptin Levels – Body Fat is Increased
– Activation of aMSH and CART containing arcuate neurons
– INDUCES:– Humoral response: increase
activity of paravenctricular nucleus to increase secretion of TSH and ACTH from anterior pituitary
P516-7
Neurosecretory cells of the hypothalamus
Parvocellular neurosecretory cells secrete hypophysiotropic hormone into hypo-pituitary portal circulation
Hormones act in anterior lobe of pituitary where they trigger release or inhibitions of pituitary hormone release.

Hormones Released by Anterior Pituitary Gland

Increase Leptin Levels
– Activation of aMSH and CART containing arcuate neurons
– INDUCES:– Humoral response: increase
activity of paravenctricular nucleus to increase secretion of TSH and ACTH from anterior pituitary
– Visceromotor response: increase tone of sympathetic division of ANS through axons that project from either paravenctricular or arcuate

Increase Leptin Levels
– Activation of aMSH and CART containing arcuate neurons

What would happen if you inject
aMSH or CART into the brain?
P516-7
p519
Decrease Leptin Levels
– Stimulation of the NPY and AgRP expressing arcuate neurons
– Humoral response: inhibit secretion of TSH and ACTH

2 more Orexigenic Peptides That Control Feeding from Lateral Hypothalamus
Orexin and MCH both rise when leptin levels are reduced
http://archives.focus.hms.harvard.edu/1999/Sept17_1999/research_briefs.html
Orexin Orexin was discovered almost simultaneously by two independent groups of rat-brain researchers.[4][5]
One group named it orexin, from orexis, meaning "appetite" in Greek;
the other group named it hypocretin, because it is produced in the hypothalamus and bears a weak resemblance to secretin, a hormone found in the gut.[2]
narcolepsy
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orexin
http://www.yourdiscovery.com/video/is-it-possible-narcoleptic-dog/
Orexin - Hypocretin
When it is time to be awake, there are certain neurons in your brain that release hypocretin. This hypocretin tells the brain to be awake.
When it is time to go to sleep, brain cells make less hypocretin. Now you get sleepy and fall asleep.
It makes perfect sense that people with narcolepsy have problems with their hypocretin. A sudden drop in this key brain chemical and you'd go right to sleep.
In fact, doctors can now test to see if a person has low levels of hypocretin by taking a sample of some spinal fluid. This can help them figure out if a person has narcolepsy. But they can't use hypocretin as a curesince hypocretin will not pass blood brain barrier and enter into brain

CCKCCK is present in some cells in the intestines and released as a satiety peptide.

http://7bigspoons.com/stress/stress-feel-hungry-nice/attachment/ghrelin/
Blood concentrations of ghrelin are lowest shortly after consumption of a meal, then rise during the fast just prior to the next meal
Ghrelin was discovered in 1999Hunger is not just the absence of satiety
p520
p520
http://www.diabesity.eu/ghrelin.htm
Receptors for ghrelin have been found on NPY/AgRP neurons in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus. The NPY neurons are potent stimulators of appetite and upon activation by ghrelin they inhibit the POMC neurons by releasing the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA which inhibits the release of aMSH, an inhibitor of appetite. Ghrelin also activates the release of AgRP which is an antagonist of the alpha MSH receptors MC3 and MC4, blocking alpha MSH from activating its receptor and inhibiting appetite. p520

Both gastric distension and CCK signals converge on axons in vagus nerve
Result in reduce meal frequency and size
CCK release in response to certain type of food (especially fatty ones)

Example QuestionDuring the winter months you have been eating a lot more food. Using the following words (anterior pituitary, arcuate neurons, leptin, ACTH, TSH, sympathetic activity, CART, somatic motor) describe regulation of feeding in 2-6 sentences. You can use a diagram as part of your answer. 4 MARKS

When you have been eating more for sustained periods of time you will have more fat and this will increase the amount of leptin released from the fat storage.
Leptin will activate the CART and aMSH neurons in the arcuate neurons.
This will induce a humoral response which involves increased secretion of TSH and ACTH from anterior pituitary.
There is also increase in tone of the sympathetic activity which rises metabolic rate.
Lastly, there is somatic motor response that decreases feeding behavior.
