Leptin is the hormone most closely associated with satiety. It is produced in
adipose cells and signals the satiety center to turn off and the hunger center
to turn off. Obese people are sometimes found to have elevated levels of
Leptin in their blood.
Targeting Ghrelin and Leptin to tackle obesity would most directly be
targeting the hormones which indicate to somebody when they
should/shouldn't eat. If they could tap into these hormones and indicate to
hunger and satiety centers to eat slightly less, the pharmaceutical company
may be able to tackle obesity.

List and define the three states of nutritional health. - CORRECT
ANSWER✔✔ Desirable nutrition is achieved by eating a variety of foods
which provide all the essential nutrients to support normal body functions.
Over-nutrition is the excess consumption of calories, fats, saturated fats and
cholesterol which increase the risk for chronic disease.
Under-nutrition occurs when nutrient intake does not meet nutrient needs
and over time health begins to decline.
There are six classes of nutrients. Name the three that supply energy. -
CORRECT ANSWER✔✔ carbohydrates, proteins, and fat
The current recommendation to maintain your body weight is 2000 calories
daily. If you are told that you should not consume any more than 52 % of
your calories from carbohydrates, how many grams of carbohydrates should
you eat in a day? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔ 2000 x .52 = 1040
, 4|Page
1040 calories / 4 = 260 grams of carbs
If a fudge brownie has 9 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of protein and 12
grams of fat. How many calories are in the brownie? - CORRECT
ANSWER✔✔ Carb: 9 x 4 = 36
Pro: 1 x 4 = 4
Fat: 12 x 9 =108
36 + 4 + 108 = 148 calories
If a fudge brownie has 12 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of protein and
10 grams of fat. How many calories are in the brownie? - CORRECT
ANSWER✔✔ Carb: 12 x 4 = 48
Pro: 2 x 4 = 8
Fat: 10 x 9 =90
48 + 8 + 90 = 146 calories
There are six classes of nutrients. Name all that regulate body processes. -
CORRECT ANSWER✔✔ Proteins, fat, vitamins, minerals and water
There are six classes of nutrients. Name all that are organic. - CORRECT
ANSWER✔✔ Carbohydrates, protein, fat and vitamins
