what are the three responses to excessive adiposity of the body?
Humoral response
Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) & adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) from pituitary act on thyroid & adrenal glands raise metabolic rate cells throughout body
Visceromotor Response (sympathetic response)
tone sympathetic nervous system raise metabolic rate by raising body temperature
Somatic Response
decrease feeding behaviour
Activation of αMSH & CART neurones within arcuate nucleus (ARH) orchestrate this integrated response
