Book Synopsis Sensory and Metabolic Control of Energy Balance by : Wolfgang Meyerhof
Download or read book Sensory and Metabolic Control of Energy Balance written by Wolfgang Meyerhof and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-09-24 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last two decades, the prevalence of obesity has dramatically increased in western and westernized societies. Its devastating health consequences include hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, or diabetes and make obesity the second leading cause of unnecessary deaths in the USA. As a consequence, obesity has a strong negative impact on the public health care systems. Recently emerging scienti?c insight has helped understanding obesity as a complex chronic disease with multiple causes. A multileveled gene–environment interaction appears to involve a substantial number of susceptibility genes, as well as associations with low physical activity levels and intake of high-calorie, low-cost, foods. Unfor- nately, therapeutic options to prevent or cure this disease are extremely limited, posing an extraordinary challenge for today’s biomedical research community. Obesity results from imbalanced energy metabolism leading to lipid storage. Only detailed understanding of the multiple molecular underpinnings of energy metabolism can provide the basis for future therapeutic options. Numerous aspects of obesity are currently studied, including the essential role of neural and endocrine control circuits, adaptive responses of catabolic and anabolic pathways, metabolic fuel sensors, regulation of appetite and satiation, sensory information processing, transcriptional control of metabolic processes, and the endocrine role of adipose tissue. These studies are predominantly fuelled by basic research on mammalian models or clinical studies, but these ?ndings were paralleled by important insights, which have emerged from studying invertebrate models.

Book Synopsis Energy Balance in Motion by : Klaas R. Westerterp
Download or read book Energy Balance in Motion written by Klaas R. Westerterp and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-13 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Energy balance can be maintained by adapting energy intake to changes in energy expenditure and vice versa, where short-term changes in energy expenditure are mainly caused by physical activity. Questions are whether physical activity is affected by over and under-eating, is intake affected by an increase or a decrease in physical activity, and does overweight affect physical activity? Presented evidence is largely based on studies where physical activity is quantified with doubly labeled water. Overeating does not affect physical activity while under-eating decreases habitual or voluntary physical activity. Thus, it is easier to gain weight than to lose weight. An exercise induced increase in energy requirement is compensated by intake while a change to a more sedentary routine does not induce an equivalent reduction of intake and generally results in weight gain. Overweight and obese subjects have similar activity energy expenditures than lean people despite they move less. There are two options to reverse the general population trend for an increasing body weight, reducing intake or increasing physical activity. Based on the results presented, eating less is most effective for preventing weight gain, despite a potential negative effect on physical activity when reaching a negative energy balance.
Book Synopsis Energy Intake and Activity by : Ernesto Pollitt
Download or read book Energy Intake and Activity written by Ernesto Pollitt and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: A collection of 18 authorative review papers, taken from a series of related workshops, addresses various aspects of the association of energy intake with physical activity. The papers are organized among 5 general topic areas, including energy balance studies concerning the association of inappropriate energy intakes with adaptation and reproductive competence of populations; methodological issues concerning energy balance studies and data in both adults and children; the effects of reduced energy intake on agricultural productivity, activity and metabolism, motor development, and sleep; and microeconomic and other consequences and policy implications of reduced activity and energy intake deficiencies.

Book Synopsis Nutrition and Aging by : Irwin H. Rosenberg
Download or read book Nutrition and Aging written by Irwin H. Rosenberg and published by Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2002 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Humanity is aging. In the last century, life expectancy has increased by as much as 25 years, the greatest increase in 5'000 years of history. As a consequence the elderly constitute today the fastest growing segment of the world's population. This new situation creates many social problems and challenges to health care which both the developed as well as the developing countries will have to cope with. The present publication shows that scientific progress has reached a level where nutritional interventions may play a decisive part in the prevention of degenerative conditions of age, improvement of quality of life and impact on health care burden and resources. Topics deal with such different aspects as the influence of prenatal and early infant nutrition on the future aged individual and effects of energetic restriction on longevity. Further contributions include studies on mitochondrial alterations, digestive problems, specific metabolic deviations mediated by insulin, bone degradation, structural changes, neuromuscular dysfunctions, mental state of the elderly as well as the response of the immune system to nutrient intake. Finally the book offers a review of requirements appropriate to meet the age-related public health challenges of the 21st century.

Book Synopsis Metabolic Regulation by : Keith N. Frayn
Download or read book Metabolic Regulation written by Keith N. Frayn and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-02-11 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Metabolic Regulation looks in detail at how molecules, cells and tissues operate collectively in human health and disease, using an approach that has become known as ‘integrative physiology’. Since the publication of the first edition of this extremely well received book, the understanding of how metabolism is regulated has developed substantially in several ways, for example with the discovery of the hormone leptin, and also in the continuing advances in the understanding of gene expression. Full details of these and other new advances are included in this fully updated edition. Carefully laid out with relevant and clearly explained examples, and containing much new material, this new edition covers in an integrated way: concepts and mechanisms, digestion and intestinal absorption, organs and tissues, endocrine organs and hormones, the integration of carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism, the nervous system and metabolism, lipoprotein metabolism, diabetes mellitus, energy balance and body weight regulation and how the body copes with some extreme situations. The author, Keith Frayn, who has many years’ experience teaching and researching in this subject, has written a book of great clarity, which is an extremely valuable tool for scientists, practitioners and students working and studying across a broad range of allied health sciences including nutrition, dietetics, sports science and nursing. Students of medicine, physiology, biochemistry and biological sciences will also find much of great use and interest in this book. All libraries in research establishments, universities and medical schools where these subjects are studied and taught should have multiple copies of this excellent book on their shelves. Keith Frayn is Professor of Human Metabolism at the University of Oxford, UK.Reviews of the First Edition ‘This is an excellent textbook’: Trends in Endocrinology and Metabolism ‘The coverage is excellent for students following courses such as nutrition and human biology’:Biologist ‘This book is ideal for medical students’:Australian Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
