Regulation of Food Intake
• Hypothalamus - complex
integrating center receiving sensory
information from all parts of the
body
• Two hypothalamic centers control
eating
– Feeding (hunger) center
• located in lateral hypothalamus
• when stimulated, it initiates feeding,
even if one is “full”
– Satiety center
• ventromedial nuclei
• when stimulated, they cause cessation
of eating, even if one has been starved
for days
• Controls for their set points are
unknown!
Coordination of Secretion & Absorption
Fate of nutrients
• Glucose:
- used as needed by liver cell
- blood stocked on glucose
- glycogen syntesized
- TG synthesized if needed and sent
to adipose tissue
Amino acids:
- used to restock the blood
- used by the liver to synthesize its
own proteins
- used to synthesize blood proteins
- if excess: a.a. are deaminated
NH2 used to make urea and the rest
used for energy or stored as TG
• Stimuli: presence of
food in the stomach
(both distention and
nutrients)
• Stimulation of the
parasympathetic NS and
secretion of gastrin
(hormone)
• Response: increased
motility and juice
secretion
Intestinal phase
