This book has a dual purpose, to review in depth the control of
fuel homeostasis in the brain and the role of the nervous system in
the control of fuel deposition in the body. From the methodological
point of view the emphasis is on the application of advanced
technologies to assess fuel transport and brain metabolism, the
role of peptides in the neuroendocrine system and the response of
the brain to hypoglycemia. These technologies include positron
emmission tomography, nuclear magnetic resonance,
immunocytochemistry, molecular biology, autoradiography. To study
fuel homeostasis in the body advanced tracer methods that include
modelling are set out. From the pathophysiological point of view
the emphasis is on abnormalities in stress, brain metabolism in
diabetes, eating and degenerative disorders. This book contains
contributions from endocrinologists, physiologists, neurologists,
psychoneuroendocrinOlogists, biophysicists, biochemists and experts
in nutrition. This authorship represents a unique diversity of
researchers who, for the first time, cover comprehensively the
interaction between the nervous system and fuel homeostasis, both
in health and disease. We hope this book will be an important
source of information for both researchers and practicing
clinicians. Mladen Vranic Suad Efendic Charles Hollenberg v
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The Symposium from which this volume arose
(University of Toronto, June 27-28, 1990) was the first
Toronto-Stockholm symposium on Perspectives in Diabetes Research.
These Symposia are organized triennially by the Banting and Best
