Feeding Regulation and Obesity
 Contents  Introduction Sponsor's Foreword  
  Commentary     Perspective    Reviews 
Food intake and body weight are subject to complex regulation by the hypothalamus and other brain centers. This focus presents six commissioned articles highlighting current progress in the neurobiology of feeding regulation, energy metabolism and obesity. It is sponsored by the Obesity Research Task Force of the National Institutes of Health, and freely accessible through July 2005.
