The obesity epidemic has generated immense interest in recent years
due to the wide-ranging and significant adverse health and economic
consequences that surround the problem. Much attention has been
focused on behaviors that lead to obesity, in particular to over
consumption of energy-dense food and to sedentary lifestyle.
However, obesity is an extremely complex condition with poorly
defined pathogenesis. Thanks to greatly enhanced research in the
area, the discovery of pathways in the brain and peripheral organs
that mediate energy homeostasis has provided a framework for
understanding the biological basis of obesity. Metabolic Basis of
Obesity adds an important new dimension to the growing literature
on obesity by offering a comprehensive review of specifically how
metabolic imbalance culminates in obesity. Developed by a team of
expert authors, this important title discusses the principles of
energy balance, genetics of body weight regulation, hormones and
adipokines, and metabolic pathways in the brain, liver, muscle and
fat, to name just several of the areas covered. The book also
examines the connection between obesity and diabetes,
cardiovascular disease and other complications. Current and future
diagnostic and treatment strategies are also reviewed.
Comprehensive and timely, Metabolic Basis of Obesity is an
essential reference for understanding the burgeoning problem of
obesity.
