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 complica | 出版日期 | Book 2011 | 关键词 | Adipokines; Adipose tissue; Cardiac dysfunction; Circadian rhythms; Energy metabolism; Female reproductiv | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4419-1607-5 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4899-8202-5 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4419-1607-5 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2011 |
