Belly Fat Versus Hunger
Posted by admin in Prescription Obesity Drugs on August 09th, 2009
Do you have a pot belly? Do you feel hungry at all times? It could be due to your extended tummy. Obesity itself is an important risk factor for multiple health problems and among obese those who are having type 3 obesity are recognized as most dangerous. Four types of obesity have been recognized so far.
Type 1 where there is no particular deposition of fat in any given area known as ovoid shape.
Type 2 is defined as excess subcutaneous fat on the trunk,particularly in the abdominal area also known as android fat deposition.
Type 3 is characterized by excessive amount of fat in the abdominal visceral area (abdominal cavity)
Type 4 characterized by heavier deposits of fat around the thighs and buttocks, also known as gynoid fat distribution or pear shape obesity.
Above all type 3 obesity or fat accumulated in the abdominal visceral area are considered as most dangerous.
It is a well established fact from numerous studies that intraabdominal visceral fat accumulation is a independent risk factor for insulin resistance(an impaired biologic response to either endogenous or exogenous insulin-a hormone responsible for maintenance of normal glucose level in blood), glucose intolerance, hypertriglyceridemia (increase triglyceride level in blood) ,hypertension (elevation of the arterial blood pressure above the normal range expected in the particular age group),coronary artery disease (major arteries supplying blood to the heart).
Who are at risk?
Mostly men are more susceptible to get this kind of obesity than women. But women after menopause (stoppage of menstruation) are also equally susceptible to this kind of obesity. Aging is also an important factor for visceral fat accumulation.
Why do overweight people eat more?
Traditional view is that brain’s production of a specific hormone called neuropeptide y is in excessive amount in obese compared to non obese individual. Recently researches have found that abdominal fat tissue can reproduce the hormone neuropeptide y, earlier this hormone was thought to be produce only by the brain.
