Biological Factors in Obesity Biological Factors in Obesity. Overview. Obesity is an extremely common disorder in many societies—both industrial and preindustrial. Like many other pathological conditions, obesity results from a combination of biological, psychological/behavioral, behavioral, and social factors. It is at times very difficult to separate physical findings that are a complication of obesity, rather than a biological factor underlying it.

Thermoregulation Lifespan was increased by 12% and 20% for males and females, respectively. The mice were fed ad libitum. The effects of such a genetic change in body temperature on longevity is more difficult to study in humans; in 2011, the UCP2 genetic alleles in humans were associated with obesity.

Hormonal Regulators of Appetite Obesity is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in the US and worldwide. Obesity in adults and children increases the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus [1], cardiovascular disease [2], and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease [3], as well as psychosocial and social disturbances [4].

- That is a tetrahedral arrangement, with an angle of 109.5°. Nothing changes in terms of the shape when the hydrogen atoms combine with the carbon, and so the methane molecule is also tetrahedral with 109.5° bond angles.

Obesity â is it a genetic disorder? Obesity is one of the most pressing problems in the industrialized world. Twin, adoption and family studies have shown that genetic factors play a significant role in the pathogenesis of obesity. Rare mutations in humans and model organisms have provided insights into the pathways involved in body weight regulation.

From monogenic to polygenic obesity: recent advances Monogenic obesity. The elucidation of the mutations underlying diverse rodent mouse models (monogenic and one transgenic) led to the identification of most of the currently known monogenic forms of obesity in humans [ 43 ].he brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is involved in weight regulation downstream of the MC4R. Mutations in single genes of the leptinergic–melanocortinergic pathway have been shown to have a monogenic effect on the development of obesity.

Obesity Therefore the most common causes of obesity are overeating and physical inactivity. Ultimately, body weight is the result of genetics, metabolism, environment, behavior, and culture.1  Genetics. 2  A person is more likely to develop obesity if one or both parents are obese.3  Genetics also affect hormones involved in fat regulation. 4  For example, one genetic cause of obesity is leptin deficiency.ltimately, body weight is the result of genetics, metabolism, environment, behavior, and culture. 1  Genetics. 2  A person is more likely to develop obesity if one or both parents are obese. 3  Genetics also affect hormones involved in fat regulation.

Explain how biological factors may affect one cognitive process. 1 This essay will attempt to give a detailed account including reasons or causes of how biological factors may affect the cognitive process of memory in Alzheimer's disease (AD). 2  State interaction between cognition and biological factors. One biological factor that may cause AD and then affect memory is the medial temporal love (MTL). 2  The MTL has been investigated because it is known to play a role in episodic memory and it is the first area to show pathological changes in the brain.

From monogenic to polygenic obesity: recent advances The distinction between monogenic obesity and obesity due to a major gene effect may appear semantic. However, because BMI is a quantitative trait with obesity representing the right tail of the distribution, attempts to address this distinction are warranted.he brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is involved in weight regulation downstream of the MC4R. Mutations in single genes of the leptinergic–melanocortinergic pathway have been shown to have a monogenic effect on the development of obesity.

- Sometimes mental health disorders have biological causes. Some of these biological risk factors include chromosomal and chemical abnormalities, genetic predisposition, medical illness, poor response to medication, poor sleep, substance abuse, brain damage, and already having a mental health disorder.

Childhood Obesity The causes of obesity are complex and include genetic, biological, behavioral and cultural factors. Obesity occurs when a person eats more calories than the body burns. If one parent is obese, there is a 50 percent chance that his or her child will also be obese. However, when both parents are obese, their children have an 80 percent chance of being obese. Although certain medical disorders can cause obesity, less than 1 percent of all obesity is caused by physical problems. Obesity in childhood and adolescence can be related to: poor eating habits
