Appetite and Body Weight $131 There is now enough basic work to sketch out the principal systems at all levels of the brain, from prefrontal cortex to lower brainstem, which are orchestrated to provide control of food selection, preference and consumption. At the same time, the complex interplay between central systems and signals generated from peripheral systems include the gut, liver and fat stores, as well as the interactions with the neuroendocrine system can be described in some detail. A continuing theme throughout the book is that the functional analysis of appetite and food intake cannot be limited to a single focus, e.g. hypothalamic neuropeptides and their interactions, but must be based on a fully integrated view of the several contributing systems. Appetite and Body Weight: Integrative Systems and the Development of Anti-Obesity Drugs provides an expert guide to the neural, neurochemical, autonomic and endocrine interrelations which underpin appetite and the controls of food intake and body weight. The book covers many of the neurochemical entities that are currently under investigation, including: neuropeptides, leptin, insulin, monoamines and endogenous cannabinoids in relation to appetite and body-weight control. In addition to the neuroscience analysis, there are also chapters that provide an expert guide to some of the key psychological concepts that the researchers believe are essential in trying to understand the phenomena under investigation. The volume will also serve as an authoritative guide to the current emphasis on the development of novel, efficacious anti-obesity medication. * Provides an integrative view of the many systems involved in appetite and how they interact to effectfood intake (i.e. the brain, endocrine, gut, liver etc.)* Considers psychological aspects such as incentive, preference, liking and palatability, and sets these concepts in their behavioural, pharmacological and neural contexts * Examines the development of novel anti-obesity dru

Fat: Fighting the Obesity Epidemic $24.72 When the leptin gene was discovered in 1994, news articles predicted that there might soon be an easy, pharmaceutical solution to the growing public health crisis of obesity. Yet this scientific breakthrough merely proved how difficult the fight against fat really is. Despite the many appetite-suppressants, diet pills, and weight-loss programs available today, approximately 30 percent of Americans are obese. And that number is expanding rapidly.Fat is the engaging story of the scientific quest to understand and control body weight. Covering the entire twentieth century, Robert Pool chronicles the evolving blame-game for fat — from being a result of undisciplined behavior to subconscious conflicts, physiological disease, and environmental excess. Readers in today’s weight-conscious society will be surprised to learn that being overweight was actually encouraged by doctors and popular health magazines up until the 193Os. Henceforth began decades of research that subsequently explained appetite, metabolism, and the development of fat cells. Pool effectively reanimates the colorful characters, curious experiments, brilliant insights and wrong turns that led to contemporary scientific understanding of America’s epidemic. While he acknowledges the advances in the pharmacological fight against flab, he underscores that the real problem is not losing the weight but keeping it off. Drugs offer a quick fix, but American society must remedy the unhealthy daily environments of its cities and towns. And those who have struggled with their weight and have experienced the yo-yo cycle of dieting must understand the underlying science of body weight that makes their struggle more than a questionof willpower.
