The primary function of appetite is to control adequate energy
intake in order to meet an organism's metabolic requirements. The
interplay between hunger, appetite stimulation and food intake is
tightly regulated by the central nervous system and conditioned by
numerous inherently biological as well as acquired social and
cultural phenomena. Appetite is closely linked to individual
behaviour, thereby affecting energy intake as well as qualitative
food structure and represents a basis for possible therapeutic
intervention in individuals with impaired appetite regulations.
This book presents several perspectives on appetite regulation in
humans and animal models. The importance of understanding altered
appetite regulation in cancer is highlighted as well as the effects
of exercise on appetite. Finally, this book also presents new
research into the role of genetic variability in ghrelin in dietary
composition.
