When a peptide hormone reaches its target cell, which event happens next?

1 answer:

6 0

They are unable to pass through the plasma membrane and have different methods of action. They attach to their receptors in the target cell surface and influence activity within the cell through cytoplasmic intermediates called second messengers. 

The two most important messengers are cAMP and inositol triphosphate. 

Cyclic AMP: ATP is converted into cAMP after a series of reactions on the plasma membrane following the attachment of the hormone to the membrane. cAMP relays the signal from the membrane to the metabolic machinery of the cytoplasm. 

Inositol Triphosphate: Involves the use of Ca+2 that regulates cellular protein activity.

What statement about the mechanism of hunger and satiety is true?

disa [49]

Answer:

The correct answer is: The ventromedial hypothalamus plays a role in satiety.

Explanation:

The hypothalamus is a part of the brain that controls many important bodily functions and connects both the nervous system with the endocrine system. The hypothalamus consists of several nuclei that have diverse functions and are located in 3 different regions.

The nucleus that plays a role in satiety is the ventromedial nucleus, terminating hunger and giving a sensation of fullness. It also plays a significant role in thermoregulation, among other things.

Neuropeptide Y, on the other hand, is a peptide that is released to make us feel hungry and encourage us to intake food (primarily carbohydrates).

Cholecystokinin is a hormone released by the small intestines after we had a meal, and its function is to improve digestion and make us feel full.

Fat cells DO release leptin, but the function of this hormone is to produce satiety, by stimulating anorexigenic (meaning they take hunger away) hormones and inhibiting orexigenic ones, like Neuropeptide Y.
