This textbook presents for the first time a comprehensive body of
the latest knowledge in the field of neuropeptides and their action
on energy balance. It contains a detailed and comprehensive account
of the specific hypothalamic peptides in regards to their roles in
energy balance, food intake control and co-morbidities, to better
understand the patho-physiology of obesity. The textbook includes
an examination the history of the evolution of human society from a
thin to the obese phenotype and, within that context, how modern
society habits and industrial food production did not respect the
evolutionary trait resulting in changes in the energy balance set
point. It provides a novel conceptualization of the problem of
obesity when considering the biochemistry of peptide hormones and
entertaining novel ideas on multiple approaches to the problems of
energy balance, as well as demonstrates and explains why
alterations in pro-hormone processing are paramount to understand
metabolic disease. This text is excellent material for teaching
graduate and medical school courses, as well as a valuable resource
for researchers in biochemistry, cell, and molecular biology,
neuroscientists, physician endocrinologists, and nutritionists.
