Are we eating more than we think? Illegitimate signaling and xenohormesis as participants in the pathogenesis of obesity.

Medical hypotheses - 1 Jan 2006

Yun Anthony J, Lee Patrick Y, Doux John D

Abstract excerpt

Resource utilization may represent a central force driving evolution. A tight link between sensing energy availability and managing energy acquisition and utilization constitutes a common feature among all organisms. While such a link was likely adaptive during prehistoric evolution, modern lifestyles may decouple perceived cues from actual energy availability so as to promote obesity in humans. A particular...
