Two hormonal regulators which have been studied are leptin and ghrelin, whose effects on energy balance are in a large part mediated by the hypothalamus.87 Leptin, a peptide hormone secreted by adipose tissue, acts to reduce appetite.87 Circulating levels are proportional to adiposity and so decline during weight - loss, thus increasing appetite, however this reduction is believed to be disproportionately greater than the change in fat - mass.82 As expected, IER (60 - 85 % ER on restricted days) weight - loss interventions have all noted a decline in leptin levels 39, 41, 46 - 49, 52, comparable with energy - matched CER protocols after three months 48 and six months.41

Re 392 Chris Dudley — I don't understand what you mean by R ^ 2T ^ 4 — and there should be something about how optical depth is proportional to R, and also, if you're going a significant distance toward the center of such an object, there is the issue of spherical geometry; if the optical thickness is large enough across small changes in radius, then you don't need to account for the spherical geometry in the calculation of the flux per unit area as a function of the temperature profile and optical thickness; however, the flux per unit area outward will drop as an inverse square, except of course within the layers that are being heated through a different process (SW heating for a planet, radioactivity, latent and sensible heat loss associated with a cooling interior, gravitational potential energy conversion to enthalpy via compression (adiabatic warming) and settling of denser material under gravity (the later both leads to compression via increased pressure via increased gravity within the interior, and also is a source of kinetic energy which can be converted to heat)...

When angular momentum is transferred the energy of the moon increases slightly, while the rotational energy of the Earth decreases much more, because the ratio of energy to angular momentum is inversely proportional to the effective radius of movement, which is much larger for the orbit of the moon than it's for the Earth.

As with the global SC - CO2 estimates, the domestic SC - CO2 increases over time because future emissions are expected to produce larger incremental damages as physical and economic systems become more stressed in response to greater climatic change, and because GDP is growing over time and many damage categories are modeled as proportional to gross GDP.
