The physiological regulation of food intake is a complex homeostatic process that is
regulated by many factor such as endocrine factor metabolic factors & combination with
visual, olfactory, emotions,
taste sensation, and the life conditions

Our prehistorical progenitors clearly did not have the opportunity to suffer either from obesity or anorexia nervosa

Leptin and obesity
Leptin deficiency is not epidemiologically significant cause of obesity (3 cases of leptin-gene mutation in humans accompanied by morbid obesity)
Most of obese patients have hyperleptinemia i.e. circulating leptin levels correlate with body fat content
Body weight loss induces decrease in circulating leptin levels
![Page 11: Pathophysiology of food intake](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062903/58d104d81a28ab823e8b4ad1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Why hyperleptinemia does not suppress food intake in patients
with obesity?Resistance to leptin effects: either on the
levels of leptin transport across the blood-brain barrier or on the postreceptor level
Primary leptin function is not to suppress food intake, but to trigger complex adaptive reaction of human body to starvation.

Obesity is accompanied by local inflammatory response in adipose
tissue

Obesity and GIT hormones
Decreased satiety perception represents an important risk factor for the development of obesity
Alterations in hormonal responses to food intake contribute to decrease satiety in obese .

Food fails to suppress ghrelin in obese
English et al. 2002
Postprandial ghrelin response in obese is (in contrast to healthy subjects) independent of caloric content and macronutrient composition of a mealContribution to resistance to weight loss in some of obese patients.

People come in all weights and sizes. Some eat but never gain a pound and others seem to gain weight by looking at a piece of pizza. So what causes some people to be overweight?
![Page 16: Pathophysiology of food intake](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062903/58d104d81a28ab823e8b4ad1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Obesity is on the rise worldwide. Every year, nearly 3 million people die of causes related to being overweight, victims of the lengthy lists of complications that can come with being obese—heart disease, stroke, and diabetes among them. Data on obesity from around the world are worrisome, but a number of new treatments are already helping patients control their weight..

Gene for Obesity
Two new papers in the journal Nature describe the results of New genes identified in obesity.
Study identified four new Genetic marker severe childhood obesity.
How much of weight is Genetics?

The ideal anti-obesity drug would produce sustained weight loss with minimal side effects. The mechanisms that regulate energy balance have substantial built-in redundancy, overlap considerably with other physiological functions,
A Question about Leptin Researchers have found that some obese individuals have high levels of leptin, while some other obese individuals have low levels of leptin. Based on what you know about this protein, how do you think both of these situations could result in obesity? An Internet or literature search can help you find additional answers.

Biotechnological approach.
Bioengineering Healthier Food Fish are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are increasingly recognized as a “superfood” that appears to boost everything from heart health to mood.
Unfortunately, many of the fish rich in omega-3s are either quickly disappearing from the oceans or contain worrisome levels of mercury, or both.

.C. elegans. The Caenorhabditis elegans
nematode worm is a soil-dwelling bisexual organism. One of its enzymes can help mammals produce healthful omega-3 fatty acids.
insert a gene for an enzyme found in C. elegans into mammalian cells that lack the enzyme to convert omega-6 fatty acids into omega-3 fatty acids
Biotechnological approach

More slim and more fit means more success and beauty……..
……….. but sometimes this motto of modern societies leads to death

Anorexia Nervosa (AN) Severe psychiatric disorder of unclear
etiology associated with significant morbidity and mortality .
Prevalence 0.3% of young girls, mortalty of 6%/decade.
Irrational fear of becoming fat even if patient is of normal or usually underweight.
Phobic response to food, abnormal eating behavior, hyperactivity, weakness, muscle aches, sleep disturbances, GIT complications, mood disturances, alterations of wide variety of hormonal and metabolic systems.
Combination of cultural-social, psychological, biological factors.
