Formerly or reduced-obese (RO) subjects exhibit diminished systemic energy requirements for weight maintenance. Based on studies in animals and humans, there is reason to believe that the autonomic nervous system (ANS) plays an important role in coordinate regulation of energy metabolism and may be altered in the RO state. We have, therefore, investigated aspects of autonomic physiology in obese (OB), RO, and never obese (NO) subjects subjected to insulin-mediated hypoglycemia and incremental intravenous infusions of epinephrine. Total catecholamine secretion during insulin-induced hypoglycemia was significantly lower in the RO. The RO showed increased sensitivity to in vivo lipolytic and cardiovascular effects of endogenous and infused catecholamines. In these studies, OB subjects responded more like the NO subjects than did the RO. The RO display characteristic changes in autonomic status that may play a role in their enhanced energy efficiency.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

D009638 Norepinephrine Precursor of epinephrine that is secreted by the ADRENAL MEDULLA and is a widespread central and autonomic neurotransmitter. Norepinephrine is the principal transmitter of most postganglionic sympathetic fibers, and of the diffuse projection system in the brain that arises from the LOCUS CERULEUS. It is also found in plants and is used pharmacologically as a sympathomimetic.

D009765 Obesity A status with BODY WEIGHT that is grossly above the recommended standards, usually due to accumulation of excess FATS in the body. The standards may vary with age, sex, genetic or cultural background. In the BODY MASS INDEX, a BMI greater than 30.0 kg/m2 is considered obese, and a BMI greater than 40.0 kg/m2 is considered morbidly obese (MORBID OBESITY).

D004837 Epinephrine The active sympathomimetic hormone from the ADRENAL MEDULLA. It stimulates both the alpha- and beta- adrenergic systems, causes systemic VASOCONSTRICTION and gastrointestinal relaxation, stimulates the HEART, and dilates BRONCHI and cerebral vessels. It is used in ASTHMA and CARDIAC FAILURE and to delay absorption of local ANESTHETICS.
