6 Overweight Obesity

7 Obesity as an Inflammatory Disorder One of the more interesting discoveries of the past decade has been the recognition that the adipocyte produces inflammatory cytokines Obesity, therefore, may be viewed as a low grade systemic inflammatory disease

10 The basis for the current obesity epidemic is controversial. However the simplistic idea that obesity is can be explained by two factors: energy intake and energy expenditure, is now being challenged due the lack of success in decreasing obesity. Heindel et al. Molecular and Cellular Endo 2009;304:90-96

11 Epigenetics Ex: of epigenetic stimuli: Diet, Stress, Xenobiotics Various chemicals called epigenetic markers sit on genes and offer basic instructions to them telling them to switch on or off.

12 Bray et al JADA 2005;105:S18

13 Recent research implicates environmental risk factors including nutrient quality, stress, fetal environment and pharmaceutical or chemical exposure evidence points to endocrine disrupting chemicals that interfere with the adipose tissue biology, endocrine hormone systems or central hypothalamicpituitary-adrenal axis as suspects in derailing the homeostatic mechanisms important to weight control Grun et al. Molecular and Cell Endo 2009;

14 OBESOGENS chemicals that inappropriately regulate and promote lipid accumulation Grun et al. Rev Endocrin Metab Disord 2007;8:161- Heindel 171 et al. Molecular and Cellular Endo 2009;304:90-96

15 Endocrine Disrupters Organochlorinated pesticides Industrial chemicals Plastics and plasticizers Fuels

16 Chronic administration of ATZ decreased BMR and increased body weight, intra-abdominal fat and insulin resistance without changing food intake or physical activity level. ATZ blocked oxidative phosphorylation of complex I and III, resulting in decreased oxygen consumption. These results suggest that long term exposure to the herbicide ATZ might contribute to insulin resistance and obesity Lim et al. PloS ONE 2009;4(4):5186-

17 Weight loss- Where Do Stored Toxins Go? Weight loss has been shown to increase blood concentration of potentially toxic organochlorine compounds Concerns that undesired and potentially harmful side effect of weight loss in some obese patients who show high organochlorine body burden

18 Gastric Bypass-Increased Plasma Concentrations of EDCs 3 groups studied: control lean subjects BMI < 25 n=15, obese BMI n=14 ( at beginning and then plateau), Morbidly obese n=13 ( before and 3 and 12 mos after bypass) Plasma organochlorine concentration increased with weight loss and was related to magnitude Significant increase of 23.8% in obese, 51.8% in morbidly obese After surgery, 388.2% increase after 1 year Hue et al. Obesity Surgery 2006;16:

21 Malabsorbtive Bariatric Surgery Guidelines Consequences of Bariatric Surgery 1. Benefits: Documented improvement in metabolic management of Metabolic Syndrome/Type 2 DM. Weight. 2. Costs: Permanent alteration in the ability to absorb macro and micro nutrients. High risk of abdomenal surgery. Koch TR. Et al. Gasteroenterol Clin North Am. 2010;39:

41 Key Foundations to Lasting Diet and Lifestyle Change

42 2 week Jump Start Healthy weight loss starts with a good hormone balance. Insulin: glycemic control, smaller freq. meals, slow down rate of eating. Cortisol: Fight or flight Stress to control blood sugar. Leptin: signals the body to stop eating when full. Ghrelin: signals the body when to feed. Balance Thyroid, estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. EAT WHOLE FOODS: I use a Modified Elimination Diet- Whole food based insulin- controlling plan that emphasizes protein, anti-inflammatory fruits and vegetables, nuts, seeds and fiber. Removes simple carbohydrate, dairy, soy and grains short term. Limited servings of legumes and GI fruits. GOOD HYDRATION: Remove soda s/coffee. Use diluted juice waters/teas. MOVE: moderate walking 30 min most days. SLEEP: aim for 7-8 hours most nights CHECK YOUR STRESS: Keep a symptom journal RELAX: Boost those endorphins! (Exercise, physical touch, laughter!)

46 Dyslipidemia

49 Risk Factors for Heart Disease Dyslipidemia: Elevated Total Cholesterol Elevated LDL Elevated VLDL Low HDL Elevated Triglycerides Elevated TC/ HDL Ratio 1. Cigarette smoking 2. Hypertension(BP 140/90 or above, or on high BP meds) 3. Diabetes 4. Family history of premature CHD (CAD in father, brother or son before 55 ; CAD in mother sister or daughter before Age: Men 45 yrs. or older; women 55 yrs. or older 6. Obesity or Overweight 7. Physical Inactivity 8. High Sat/trans Fat Intake 9. Low Fiber Intake 10. High Stress Lifestyle Emerging risk factors: hscrp, homocysteine, Vitamin D, and use of Expanded Lipid profiles.

IBS GERD Pain Infertility - fertility meds for years, BCPs for years for hot flashes and irregular periods Irregular Periods in the past Depression Family History: Father CHD, died at 49. Mother HTN, ETOH, died at 68.

51 Advanced Lipids Lipoprotein Particle Analysis(LPP):Spectracell; Berkley Heart Lab (BHL) VAP: Atherotec NMR: Liposcience Give an expanded view of lipid size, density, particle number, lipoprotein(a), apoa, apob and other genetic and helpful markers.

55 Particle Size Cholesterol - on Lipitor

56 Particle Size Testing on Lipitor Large VLDL is more atherogenic. LDL particle number and size drives CVD risk. Large LDL is less atherogenic and small dense LDL is high risk. HDL 3 is less protective for CHD than HDL 2. Large HDL 2 is most protective. IF HDL is less than 50 and Trig. are over 125 then the LDL particle number increases faster. If LDL is reduced to 60 then the effects of HDL and Trig are less atherogenic. Statins are not effective in reducing LDL particle size, number or APO B.
