In this special issue we selected several papers that carry out a systematic and critical review of some of the topics that following recent developments are currently at the forefront of obesity research
Food intake is a sophisticated complex of neurohumoral networks that convey signals between the brain and periphery, to modulate energy status
Zeron et al provide a deep and comprehensive review of the different gut hormones involved in energy homeostasis; they give an update on the available evidence regarding the interaction between macronutrients and gastrointestinal hormone secretion
Summary
In this special issue we selected several papers that carry out a systematic and critical review of some of the topics that following recent developments are currently at the forefront of obesity research. Food intake is a sophisticated complex of neurohumoral networks that convey signals between the brain and periphery, to modulate energy status. The control of food intake is carried out by short-term and long-term regulation mechanisms.
