Question	Answer
Ectomorphs are highly sensitive to which hormones?	Catecholamine
Which somatotype is Thyroid and SNS (sympathetic nervous system) dominant?	Ectomorph
What hormones do mesomorphs have high levels of?	Growth hormone and testosterone
Dietary ratio of 40% Carbs, 30% Protein, 30% Fat is recommended to which somatotype?	Mesomorph
Dietary ratio of 55% Carbs, 35% Protein, 20% Fat is recommended to which somatotype?	Ectomorph
Visceral fat can be an issue with bad foods for which somatotype?	Mesomorph
Endomorphs are dominant in which hormone?	Insulin
Dietary ratio of 25% Carbs, 40%Protein, 35% Fat is recommended to which somatotype?	Endomorph
Catabolic refers to which state?	Degeneration
Anabolic refers to which state?	Regeneration
Increased testosterone, HGH, IGF-1, Focused and energised-satiated refers to being in which state?	Anabolic
Increased cortisol, glucagon, adrenaline, oestrogen, catecholamines and decreased focus refers to being in which state?	Catabolic
During cutting stages which somatotype would not reduce calories and consume small regular meals vital for stabilising blood sugars?	Ectomorph
Mood swings, depression, insomnia, male pattern baldness, feminisation, increases subcutaneous fat and lean tissue loss are signs of the body being which state?	Catabolic
During the cutting stages what somatotype would increase energy output and if cutting is slow increase protein and reduce fat?	Endomorph
During the cutting stages which samatotype would not reduce calories, eat clean cutting out all sugar and bad fats and add cardio/HIIT to increase energy expenditure?	Mesomorph
How do you adjust calories during the cutting stage to keep the body in an anabolic state?	Don't adjust
What level of leptin is required to enhance weight loss or body fat%?	High levels
Insulin manipulation can improve the leptin receptors by incorporating a what?	Cheat meal
In terms of lean body mass, leptin can do what to the clients metabolism?	Increase it
A diet high in what can increase glucagon release maximising the effects on burning excess body fat?	High quality protein
Low quality protein and consuming protein and low carb simmediately pre or post workout or right before bed has what effects on glucagon?	Slows down release
Cortisol, if not kept under control, negatively affects the body metabolism and the functioning of what gland?	Thyroid
Consuming high quality protein and very low carbs on an empty stomach before bed can do what to cortisol levels?	Suppresses
Multivitamins and supplements such as vitamin C, Glutamine peptide and Alpha lipoid acid Lowers levels of what?	Cortisol
Infrequent, low rep heavy compound exercises, HIIT, vitamin D and high omega 3s in the diet increases which hormone?	Testosterone
HSL secretion helps break down triglycerides in the adipose tissue in to 3 fatty acids and 1 glycerol. What is this mechanism called?	Lipolysis
Catecholamine are primary catalysts for lipolysis either blocking or activating hormone sensitive lipase. What are the 2 types of receptors?	Alpha and beta
Which receptors inhibit lipolysis and decrease blood flow to a specific area?	Alpha
Which receptors activate lipolysis and increases blood flow to a specific area?	Beta
Abdominal adipocytes are more sensitive to which receptor?	Beta
Which gender can mobilize abdominal fat easier than hip/thigh fat because they have more Alpha receptors in the hip/thigh area?	Women
What receptors do women have higher amounts of in the lower body subcutaneous fat which makes fat very stubborn to move?	Oestrogen
Fat storage around the middle of the body is linked to increases in which hormones?	Insulin and Cortisol
Fat storage in the lower body may be linked to which hormones?	Oestrogen and Progesterone
Subcutaneous fat at the back of arms and legs could signal a reduction in HGH and/or testosterone, and an increase in which hormone?	Oestrogen
Subcutaneous fat storage around hips and breasts may be influenced by which hormones?	Oestrogen and Progesterone
If insulin and catecholamine are both high, fat storage is?	Reduced
If insulin raises above catecholamine fat storage is?	Increased
Insulin impairs the normal function of beta-receptors, which is another form of blocking what?	Hormone-sensitive lipase HSL
Catecholamine can speed up fat release when they bind to beta-receptors which would increase the activity of what?	Hormone-sensitive lipase HSL
Catecholamine can slow down fat metabolism when they combine with what?	Alpha receptors
What hormones have a greater impact on fat metabolism than oestrogen and progesterone?	Insulin and cortisol
How can you control oestrogen levels with weight loss?	Low carb intake
What hormone plays a main role to augment the density of the beta-receptors?	Testosterone
If testosterone binds to adipose cells, it will indirectly do what?	Burn fat
If beta-receptors are boosted it will take less catecholamine to burn the fat via which mechanism?	Lipolysis
What hormone enhances actions of the catecholamine because they regulate beta-receptors and block the activity of alpha-receptors?	Thyroid
T3 and T4 stimulates what?	Protein synthesis
T3 and T4 Increases what?	Lipolysis
What hormone enhances cholesterol excretion in the bile?	Thyroid
Thyroid hormones increase beta receptor activity working in opposition to which hormone making subcutaneous fat less stubborn to burn?	Oestrogen
In females high levels of what can suppress the thyroid glands?	Iodine
Too much or too little cortisol and iodine can have what affect on thyroid activity?	Reduces it's function
A deficiency in which vitamin causes issues with the thyroid?	D
