When an excessive proportion of the human energy requirement is
derived from fat, the likelihood of obesity increases. Any such
individual is at risk for diabetes and cardiovascular disease-
grave and costly health hazards. The selective control of fat
ingestion is a promising solution to these concerns. Existing data
suggests that macronutrient intake can be manipulated. Further
research is working to create pharmacological tools that will
suppress fat consumption. It will also be possible to fight
obesity, heart disease and diabetes. Neural and Metabolic Control
of Macronutrient Intake systematically discusses the known
physiological mechanisms involved in macronutrientselection,
including their molecular, genetic and neurochemical aspects. The
book is also a critical review of the hypothesis that ingestion of
the three nutrients is regulated by separate neural control
mechanisms, leaving open the possibility that strategies could be
devised to intervene in bodily control systems and alter the
proportion of fat in the diet. This reference provides three types
of information: First, the basic background of the biochemical and
physiological systems as they relate to macronutrient selection.
Second, opinions and data concerning to what degree animals and
humans show evidence of macronutrient selection. And, third,
evidence about how the central nervous system might be involved in
the choices animals make among macronutrients.
