Considerations regarding the genetics of obesity.

Obesity (Silver Spring, Md.) - 1 Dec 2008

Chung Wendy K, Leibel Rudolph L

Abstract excerpt

The genetics of human body fat content (obesity) are clearly complex. Genetic and physiological analysis of rodents have helped enormously in pointing to critical molecules and cells in central nervous system and "peripheral" pathways mediating the requisite fine control over the defense of body fat. Human and animal studies are consistent with inferences from evolutionary considerations that the strengths of...
