This book comprehensively accounts the current understanding of
genetic mechanisms of obesity by analyzing obesity phenotypes and
genotypes and, gene polymorphisms and mutations, and current
results from animal model research and genetic studies in human
models. By presenting the impact of genetic factors in the
development of obesity and key molecules related to the
pathophysiology of the disease, this source hopes to pinpoint new
pathways for the prevention and management of obesity in various
populations.
Obesity is a disease of society and economic transition spreading
at an epidemic pace throughout the world. According to the World
Health Organization, obesity is defined as an increased or abnormal
