6 – Energy Partitioning, Ingestive Behavior, and Reproductive Success

摘要: Gonadal hormones have profound effects on energy metabolism. Energy metabolism, in turn, controls the synthesis and secretion of sex hormones. In addition to having reversible metabolism adults, utero set developmental events motion that determine sexually dimorphic, lifelong patterns body fat distribution. These distribution are strongly associated with prevalence disease mortality. To understand obesity-associated we must link reproduction. This chapter describes this terms three levels organization: (1) primary metabolic sensory signals generated by oxidation fuels, (2) act as mediators between stimulus central effectors, (3) modulate stimulus, (4) effectors for ingestive behavior Hormones, including so-called hormones, reproduction changing disposition fuels. Hormones such insulin, glucagon, leptin, ghrelin, gonadal partitioning, is, they direct fuels into or out storage. Mechanisms control sensitive availability oxidizable when hormone promote uptake storage those deficit stimulates hunger inhibits Progress understanding balance, appetite, obesity will be facilitated relationship reproductive success.
