appetitive

Examples of appetitive in the following topics:

• Hormones of the Digestive System

  • There are hormones secreted by tissues and organs in the body that are transported through the bloodstream to the satiety center, a region in the brain that triggers impulses that give us feelings of hunger or aid in suppressing our appetite.
  • It is released by the hypothalamus and signals that you have just eaten and helps to suppress our appetite.
  • The pancreas releases the hormone insulin, which targets the hypothalamus and also aids in suppressing our appetite after we have just eaten and there is a rise in blood glucose levels.
  • The last hormone is leptin which also helps to suppress appetite.

• Cephalic Phase

  • It results from the sight, smell, thought, or taste of food; and the greater the appetite, the more intense is the stimulation.
  • Neurogenic signals that initiate the cephalic phase of gastric secretion originate from the cerebral cortex, and in the appetite centers of the amygdala and hypothalamus.
  • When appetite is depressed this part of the cephalic reflex is inhibited.

• The Endocrine System and Hunger

  • This theory developed from the findings that bilateral lesions of the lateral hypothalamus can cause anorexia, a severely diminished appetite for food, while bilateral lesions on the ventromedial hypothalamus can cause overeating and obesity.
  • The function of leptin is to suppress the release of neuropeptide Y (NPY), which in turn prevents the release of appetite-enhancing orexins from the lateral hypothalamus.
  • This decreases appetite and food intake, promoting weight loss.
  • The short-term regulation of hunger deals with appetite and satiety.
  • Stretch receptors (mechanoreceptors that respond to an organ being stretched or distended) work to inhibit appetite when the GI tract becomes distended.

• Positive Reinforcement

  • Positive reinforcement is the addition of an appetitive stimulus to increase a certain behavior or response.
  • Positive reinforcement is the addition of an appetitive stimulus to increase a certain behavior or response.

• Information and Risk Trade-Off

  • Risk appetite and risk sensitivity of the whole enterprise should guide the IT risk management process.

• Lymphogranuloma Venereum

  • The general symptoms may include fever, malaise and decreased appetite.

• Anabolic Steroids and Muscles

  • Anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS) were first isolated, identified and synthesized in the 1930's, and are now used therapeutically in medicine to induce bone growth, stimulate appetite, induce male puberty and treat chronic wasting conditions, such as cancer and AIDS.
  • Despite these side effects, anabolic steroids can be used therapeutically to stimulate bone growth and appetite, and treat chronic wasting conditions associated with cancer and AIDS, though at much lower dosages than those used for performance enhancement.

• Hepatitis

  • Hepatitis may occur with limited or no symptoms, but often leads to jaundice, poor appetite, and malaise.
  • More specific symptoms, which can be present in acute hepatitis from any cause, are profound loss of appetite, aversion to smoking among smokers, dark urine, yellowing of the eyes and skin and abdominal discomfort.

• Making Decisions Under Conditions of Risk and Uncertainty

  • This will often define management's risk appetite and help to determine, once risks are identified and quantified, whether risky outcomes may be tolerated.
  • If managers believe that the firm is suited to absorb potential losses in the event the negative outcome occurs, they will have a larger appetite for risk given their capabilities to manage it.

• Stimulants

  • They are used to increase or maintain alertness; to boost endurance or productivity; to counteract fatigue and lethargy throughout the day; to counteract abnormal states that diminish alertness or consciousness (such as in narcolepsy); to decrease appetite and promote weight loss; and to enhance concentration (especially for those with attentional disorders such as ADHD).
  • The stimulant effects of MDMA include appetite loss, euphoria, social disinhibition, insomnia, improved energy, increased arousal, and increased perspiration.
