Summary:
This unique two-part issue of the Endocrinology and Metabolism
Clinics is a must-read. It addresses multiple aspects of obesity and
the brain, as well as inflammation. The brain's regulation of
appetite and satiety; and hepatic glucose metabolism by nutrients and
hormones, are addressed, as well as epidemiology of obesity and
monogenic disorders. Articles on insulin resistance and its
connection to atherosclerosis, endothelial dysfunction, metabolic
syndrome, and its relation to the link between obesity and
cardiovascular disease, are included. Complications of obesity are
addressed, including hyperlipidemia and hypertension. Other topics
covered are fatty acids; the adipose cell as an endocrine system;
inflammation and ER stress; mitochondrial dysfunction; the role of
gut hormones; the roles of adipose tissue mass and ectopic fat;
inflammation and the immune system; and the microbial role in
obesity. Obesity therapies covered include exercise, diet,
cognitive-behavioral approaches, medications, and bariatric surgery.
