WHAT IF? Suppose you were studying two groupsof obese people with genetic abnormalities in theleptin pathway. In one group, the leptin levels areabnormally high; in the other group, they are abnormally low. How would each group’s leptin levels changeif they ate a low-calorie diet for an extended period?Explain.

Chapter : Lipid metabolism Triasilgliserol (TAG) is stored in adipose tissue in the form of lipoproteins that will circulate in the blood plasma. By the time TAG reaches the adipose network, it will be hydrolyzed. Explain: a. TAG hydrolysis reaction b. regulation of storage and use of lipids in the animal's body
3. In one or two words, explain the following statement: In liver, glucagon stimulates glycogen breakdown via cAMP. Although one might expect glucagon to also stimulate catabolism of glucose formed, glucagon inhibits glycolysis and stimulate gluconeogenesis in liver.
Give typed explanation Leptin is an adipocyte hormone that sends signals to the brain to “eat less” and “metabolise more.” What is the explanation for why leptin injections cause weight loss in the strain of OB mutant mice, but leptin injections have no effect in the majority of obese people? Is this observation analogous to type 1 or type 2 diabetes? Explain your reasoning.
Q)Starting as a lipid in some holiday prime rib, trace the path that energy and biomass make as that lipid is consumed by a college freshman, transported to a cell in the liver and converted into a carbohydrate, and finally as that carbohydrate is burned for energy in a cell in the cells of the shoulder muscles. Following your diagram/model, provide a written explanation for what you diagram/model depicts. Make sure both your model and explanation are clear, concise, and have the appropriate level of detail to clearly demonstrate you understand cellular respiration and the movement of mass and energy in animals.
