This book comprehensively accounts the current understanding of genetic mechanisms of obesity by analyzing obesity genotypes and phenotypes, genes and mutations, and current results from animal model research and genetic studies in human. By presenting the impact of genetic factors in the development of obesity and key molecules related to the pathophysiology of the disease, this source hopes to pinpoint new pathways for the prevention and management of obesity in various populations. Obesity: Genomics and Postgenomics ...

This book comprehensively accounts the current understanding of genetic mechanisms of obesity by analyzing obesity genotypes and phenotypes, genes and mutations, and current results from animal model research and genetic studies in human. By presenting the impact of genetic factors in the development of obesity and key molecules related to the pathophysiology of the disease, this source hopes to pinpoint new pathways for the prevention and management of obesity in various populations. Obesity: Genomics and Postgenomics comprehensively covers obesity-causing factors including: quantitative genetics, environmental conditions, heterogeneity, and metabolic conditions...investigates medical disorders that cause obesity, such as Bardet Biedl and Prader Willi syndromes...includes results from studies of obesity syndromes highlighting their genetic underpinnings... examines information collected from an international team of researchers and clinicians who are experts in their respective fields
