NEURAL REGULATION OF METABOLISM GEBUNDEN

This book systemically describes the mechanisms underlying the neural regulation of metabolism.
Metabolic diseases  including obesity and its associated conditions  currently affect more than
500 million people worldwide. Recent research has shown that the neural regulation of
metabolism is a central mechanism that controls metabolic status physiologically and
pathophysiologically.The book first introduces the latest studies on the neural and cellular
mechanisms of hypothalamic neurons  hypothalamic glial cells  neural circuitries  cellular
signaling pathways  and synaptic plasticity in the control of appetite  body weight 
feeding-related behaviors and metabolic disorders. It then summarizes the humoral mechanisms by
which critical adipocyte-derived hormones and lipoprotein lipase regulate lipid and glucose
metabolism  and examines the role of the hypothalamus-sympathetic nerve  a critical nerve
pathway from CNS to peripheral nervous system (PNS)  in the regulation of metabolism in
multiple tissues organs. Furthermore  the book discusses the functions of adipose tissue in
energy metabolism. Lastly  it explores dietary interventions to treat neural diseases and some
of the emerging technologies used to study the neural regulation of metabolism. Presenting
cutting-edge developments in the neural regulation of metabolism  the book is a valuable
reference resource for graduate students and researchers in the field of neuroscience and
metabolism.
