The HEP issue on Metabolic Control provides a state-of the art overview over both classical concepts and emerging areas in metabolism and associated disorders. In this context, metabolic control is highlighted at various levels of complexity ranging from transcriptional mechanisms in metabolic pathway control over metabolic communication routes in physiology and pathophysiology to current treatment modalities and options in metabolic disorders, including type 2 diabetes and obesity. Dedicated chapters by leading experts in their fields provide a concise overview over important areas in metabolic research at a molecular level, including the role of the central nervous system in metabolism, inflammation and metabolism, pancreatic hormone signaling, brown adipose tissue, and therapeutic concepts.
The book covers a broad range of topics in metabolic research, ranging from key molecular events to therapeutic options in metabolic disorders This book gives a comprehensive overview over the current state-of-the-art in metabolic regulation and dysfunction The book provides an update on classical components of metabolic control and also highlights novel and emerging areas in this field in an integrated manner
