Abstract

The growing epidemic of obesity, a disease state emerging from an imbalance between energy intake and energy expenditure (EE), has recently attracted the attention of many researchers, leading to efforts to investigate and characterize the mechanisms underlying energy homeostasis. As a result, there has been an explosion of research in the area and the discovery of an ever-increasing number of molecules, that play an active role in normal physiology and pathophysiology.
