Is it possible for more than one theory to be correct ex: (both calorie amount and insulin level influence weight gain)? How does the human microbiome factor into this?]]> 2018-09-09 18:35:41 UTC https://padlet.com/skutschke1_1/uwgrwxs08yns/wish/279185136 Experiment Results https://padlet.com/skutschke1_1/uwgrwxs08yns/wish/279185281 Has the experiment been completed yet, and if so, what are its results?]]> 2018-09-09 18:37:20 UTC https://padlet.com/skutschke1_1/uwgrwxs08yns/wish/279185281 Leptin siona_gupta https://padlet.com/skutschke1_1/uwgrwxs08yns/wish/279185344 How come so many people are still unaware of the role of genetics in determining a person's body weight, especially given that obesity is such a relevant topic in the United States? ]]> 2018-09-09 18:38:06 UTC https://padlet.com/skutschke1_1/uwgrwxs08yns/wish/279185344 Genes https://padlet.com/skutschke1_1/uwgrwxs08yns/wish/279207613 Are there any statistics that show how many kids have the same body type as there parents?]]> 2018-09-09 22:13:11 UTC https://padlet.com/skutschke1_1/uwgrwxs08yns/wish/279207613 Gender https://padlet.com/skutschke1_1/uwgrwxs08yns/wish/279539994 Do you have more similar weight characteristics to the parent is your same gender?]]> 2018-09-10 17:49:05 UTC https://padlet.com/skutschke1_1/uwgrwxs08yns/wish/279539994 Leptin and Other Hormones https://padlet.com/skutschke1_1/uwgrwxs08yns/wish/279548595 Is there a hormone that has the opposite function of leptin and tells your body it needs to eat more?]]> 2018-09-10 18:02:40 UTC https://padlet.com/skutschke1_1/uwgrwxs08yns/wish/279548595 Leptin Injections https://padlet.com/skutschke1_1/uwgrwxs08yns/wish/279685391 Have there been any recent modifications in leptin injections?

In the video it sounded like it would save a lot of people from over eating but then it said that it didn't work very well in humans...why?]]> 2018-09-12 00:12:59 UTC https://padlet.com/skutschke1_1/uwgrwxs08yns/wish/280143874 Hormone Hypothesis https://padlet.com/skutschke1_1/uwgrwxs08yns/wish/280144570 The video seemed to suggest that people with the same genetic defect as the woman being studied become obese because they overeat and consume too many calories. However, if the hormone hypothesis is correct and the biggest factor in weight gain is actually glucose intake, could people with leptin resistance eat as much as they want while cutting out carbohydrates and still lose weight?]]> 2018-09-12 00:16:27 UTC https://padlet.com/skutschke1_1/uwgrwxs08yns/wish/280144570 MC4 Reception Disorders https://padlet.com/skutschke1_1/uwgrwxs08yns/wish/280146153 1/1000 people have MC4 reception disorders, but over 30% of the US Population is obese. Should we focus more on the socio-economic and cultural factors, or the scientific, genetic ones? Which is an easier fix? Which affects more people?]]> 2018-09-12 00:24:51 UTC https://padlet.com/skutschke1_1/uwgrwxs08yns/wish/280146153 Genetics and weight gain https://padlet.com/skutschke1_1/uwgrwxs08yns/wish/280146719 Let's say a person has a parent/grandparent that is very overweight but they themselves are very active and eat healthy, so they lost a lot of weight later in their life. If they have the same genetic makeup in terms of leptin and insulin ect. of both the parents and the grandparents, would the next generation be born overweight or not?]]> 2018-09-12 00:27:41 UTC https://padlet.com/skutschke1_1/uwgrwxs08yns/wish/280146719 Leptin and Genetics https://padlet.com/skutschke1_1/uwgrwxs08yns/wish/280160700  1. If one parent of an individual has a mutation in the MC4 Receptor while their other parent does not, will the child also have this mutation or will their receptors develop normally? How do we know? 

2.Why is Leptin produced in the fat cells and why does this hormone stay in the blood stream?]]> 2018-09-12 01:38:36 UTC https://padlet.com/skutschke1_1/uwgrwxs08yns/wish/280160700 Genetics and Body Type https://padlet.com/skutschke1_1/uwgrwxs08yns/wish/280160836 Are people's body types decided mainly by genetics or by their level of activity/diet? I've heard both can be true in the past, but is there one that plays a bigger factor in body type?]]> 2018-09-12 01:39:22 UTC https://padlet.com/skutschke1_1/uwgrwxs08yns/wish/280160836 Outdated info https://padlet.com/skutschke1_1/uwgrwxs08yns/wish/280161083 The video looked like it was from 20 years ago, I would be surprised if all of the statements they made remain true today.]]> 2018-09-12 01:40:43 UTC https://padlet.com/skutschke1_1/uwgrwxs08yns/wish/280161083 https://padlet.com/skutschke1_1/uwgrwxs08yns/wish/280162182 How does the knowledge of leptin contribute to the existing hypotheses?

2. What determines what someone’s weight range is besides leptin or MC4?

]]> 2018-09-12 01:57:33 UTC https://padlet.com/skutschke1_1/uwgrwxs08yns/wish/280163831 Gum and Statistic https://padlet.com/skutschke1_1/uwgrwxs08yns/wish/280164592 1. Can chewing gum affect leptin level/role? I typically get hungry after chewing gum, and I wonder if gum 'tricks' the brain into thinking I have eaten food.
2. If 1/1000 people have the MC4 mutation, but well over 0.001% of America is obese, is there a different disorder/mutation (other than excessive eating) that forces people to become obese? ]]> 2018-09-12 02:01:44 UTC https://padlet.com/skutschke1_1/uwgrwxs08yns/wish/280164592 https://padlet.com/skutschke1_1/uwgrwxs08yns/wish/280168819 Do thyroids and your leptin connect in any way?
