Hypostates: Vitamin K
Controls hunger & satiety Body sends signals to the hypothalamus to suppress the feeding center: (puts the brakes on desire to eat more) distended belly release of cholecystokinin in response to fat in the duodenum secretion of insulin & glucagon due to food in the belly If satiety center is destroyed,=unstoppable appetite, same result if the feeding center is stimulated If satiety center is stimulated= full and do not want to eat any more When stored nutrients are low, the feeding center sends the hunger signal. Reverse is also true: when nutrients are plentiful -feel full. Is responsive to body temperature Cold temperatures: increase food intake Results in higher metabolic rate and more fat stored for insulation (think winter weight gain) If hypothalamus becomes damaged (head injury, stroke) feeding and hunger are altered.

Major Factors in the Dental Caries Process
Poor functioning liver can cause irregular glucose levels Elevated or depressed glucose levels can cause poor wound healing, increased risk of infection Inability to reabsorb nutrients in the kidneys affected by: Medications Kidney disorder Fluid balance Malfunctioning kidneys can cause retention or loss of drugs and nutrients In heart faillure, the kidneys resorb more water from the blood, diuretics are used to remove that excess water. Loop diuretics remove too much potassium, while potassium sparing diuretics increase the amount of potassium in the body. Potassium is important for heart function and blood pressure regulation. A loss or retention of drugs and nutrients either way is not desireable.
