Approximately 500,000 people in North America and Western Europe
die from obesity-related diseases every year. This figure can only
increase as efforts to stem this tide lag behind the rise of the
overweight population. In the West especially, though by no means
exclusively, the associated cost in human lives and suffering is
accompanied by an increased strain on healthcare budgets. Partly
for this reason, the biomedical community is looking beyond
lifestyle changes to search for a drug or drugs that can tackle the
problem. A number of potential candidates have come and gone, and
still the current level of research into the pharmacotherapy of
obesity is unprecedented. Pharmacotherapy of Obesity looks at the
drugs currently available and those in development, exploring their
mechanisms of action and their best use in the patient. However,
this volume also looks at non-drug therapies, exercise regimes,
surgery, behavioral treatment and alternative techniques such as
acupuncture. The book closes with a look at the contribution that
genomics is making to the search for new drugs, and looks ahead to
what such drugs might be like. Produced by leading experts in the
field, Pharmacotherapy of Obesity provides an essential,
multi-disciplinary view of the treatment of obesity. It is ideal
for anyone involved in obesity management, whether clinical or
research-based, and for researchers in pharmacology, physiology, or
the pharmaceutical industry.
