Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Obesity is associated with significant morbidity and mortality and is increasing in prevalence worldwide. Obesity is also defined as an increased mass of adipose tissue, which confers a higher risk of diabetes. The pathophysiology that underlies obesity and glucose metabolism has not been fully elucidated, and effective therapeutic approaches are currently of general interest.
Multiple hormones and cytokines to obesity and glucose metabolism at several levels: hepatic, muscular, gastrointestinal tract and adipose tissue. In addition, several studies have revealed that the brain functions regulate eating behavior, nutrition and energy metabolism. The topics of “Obesity and Glucose Metabolism” that will be covered by this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, related metabolic factors, behavioral and pharmacological therapy that affect obesity and glucose metabolism.
Both basic and clinical research focused on pathophysiological processes in obesity and glucose metabolism are welcome. This Special Issue is to publish high-quality original research articles and review articles in all aspects of metabolism relevant to the fields of obesity and glucose metabolism.
