Early influences on human energy regulation: thrifty genotypes and thrifty phenotypes.

Physiology & behavior - 15 Dec 2005

Prentice Andrew M

Abstract excerpt

Early influences on human ingestive behavior and other aspects of energy homeostasis can be defined according to two very different time scales: the evolutionary time frame responsible for selection of behavioral and metabolic traits embedded within the genome; and the life-course time frame responsible for setting the phenotype. Evolutionary influences: Famine has been a constant threat to human survival leading...
