2. Issue with non-human research research being generalised to human research?
- It's too simplistic
- Obese women had normal levels or high levels of leptin suggesting leptin has different roles in different animals' bodies
- It's too expensive
3. Which does neuropeptide Y do in terms of controlling eating behaviour?
- It's produced by fat cells and impulses are sent to the brain about the amount of fat cells present, obese rats have a high levels of leptin
- It's produced by fat cells and impulses are sent to the brain about the amount of fat cells present, obese rats have a deficiency in leptin
- It stimulates the hypothalamus increasing appetite
- It stimulates the hypothalamus decreasing appetite
4. Which study found that when additional neuropeptide Y was injected into rat's hypothalamus it led to obesity?
- Lutter et al.
- Wickens
- Stanley et al.
- Heatherington and Ranson
5. What did Lutter et al. find?
- The hormone gherlin produced in response to stress also increases appetite
- Neuropeptide Y is produced by the hypothalamus leading to overeating then when abdominal fat is gained, the fat produces neuropeptide Y leading to more overeating
- When the LH was damaged it caused rats to stop eating but when it was stimulated it caused rats to overeat
