This book provides a comprehensive compilation of the evidence
available regarding the role of genetic differences in the etiology
of human obesities and their health and metabolic implications. It
also identifies the most promising research areas, methods, and
strategies for use in future efforts to understand the genetic
basis of obesities and their consequences on human health. Leading
researchers in their respective fields present contributed chapters
on such topics as etiology and the prevalence of obesities,
nongenetic determinants of obesity and fat topography, and animal
models and molecular biological technology used to delineate the
genetic basis of human obesities. A major portion of the book is
devoted to human genetic research and clinical observations
encompassing adoption studies, twin studies, family studies, single
gene effects, temporal trends and etiology heterogeneity, energy
intake and food preference, energy expenditure, and susceptibility
to metabolic derangements in the obese state. Future directions of
research in the field are covered in the book as well.
