EVOLVE, Questions and Answers With Rationale.
1. Which is a true statement regarding adipose tissue?
A. Adipose tissue is classified according to weight.
B. Adipose tissue has the same gene expression.
C. Adipose tissue has different rates of lipogenesis. D. Adipose tissue is all from
the same origin.
C. Adipose tissue has different rates of lipogenesis.
Adipose tissue is found in different locations, has different gene expression patterns,
different rates of lipogenesis and lipolysis, and different origins.
Most adipose tissue in the body is what?
A. WAT
B. BAT
C. bAT
D. MAT
A. WAT
Most adipose tissue in the body is WAT. WAT is located in visceral (central) and
subcutaneous (peripheral) stores. WAT also is found in muscle groups providing
mechanical protection and sliding of muscle bundles, and bone marrow.
Which is a true statement regarding obesity?
A. Non-Hispanic blacks have the highest rate of obesity.
B. By 2030, 75% of the United States population will be obese.
C. Obesity is defined as a BMI that exceeds 29 kg/m2.
D. Two leading causes of death in the Unites States are related to obesity.
A. Non-Hispanic blacks have the highest rate of obesity.
Non-Hispanic blacks have the highest age-adjusted rate at 48.1% followed by Hispanics
(42.5%), non-Hispanic whites (34.5%), and non-Hispanic Asians (11.7%). It is projected
that 42% of people in the United States will be obese by 2030. Obesity is defined as a
body mass index (BMI) that exceeds 30 kg/m2in adults and a BMI greater than or equal
to the age- and sex-specific 95th percentile of the 2000 Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention growth charts in children. Three leading causes of death in the United States
are associated with obesity: cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and
cancer (liver, advanced prostate, ovarian, gallbladder, kidney, colorectal, esophageal
[adenocarcinoma], postmenopausal breast, pancreatic, endometrial, and stomach
[cardia]).
Obesity is associated with what?
A. Increased CCK level
B. Decreased PYY level
C. Decreased AGT level
D. Decreased ARC level
B. Decreased PYY level
The level of peptide YY (PYY) decreases with increases in adiposity and decreased
PYY level is associated with obesity. Cholecystokinin (CCK) is secreted by proximal
