This book systemically describes the mechanisms underlying the
neural regulation of metabolism. Metabolic diseases, including
obesity and its associated conditions, currently affect more than
500 million people worldwide. Recent research has shown that the
neural regulation of metabolism is a central mechanism that
controls metabolic status physiologically and pathophysiologically.
The book first introduces the latest studies on the neural and
cellular mechanisms of hypothalamic neurons, hypothalamic glial
cells, neural circuitries, cellular signaling pathways, and
synaptic plasticity in the control of appetite, body weight,
feeding-related behaviors and metabolic disorders. It then
summarizes the humoral mechanisms by which critical
adipocyte-derived hormones and lipoprotein lipase regulate lipid
and glucose metabolism, and examines the role of the
hypothalamus-sympathetic nerve, a critical nerve pathway from CNS
to peripheral nervous system (PNS), in the regulation of metabolism
in multiple tissues/organs. Furthermore, the book discusses the
functions of adipose tissue in energy metabolism. Lastly, it
explores dietary interventions to treat neural diseases and some of
the emerging technologies used to study the neural regulation of
metabolism. Presenting cutting-edge developments in the neural
regulation of metabolism, the book is a valuable reference resource
for graduate students and researchers in the field of neuroscience
and metabolism.
