Obesity represents an important health issue in the world and studies have identified defects in the hypothalamic control of food intake as an important component of the pathogenesis of this disease. The hypothalamus is capable of integrating peripheral and central signals that control caloric intake and energy expenditure. An important part of this control is exerted by a network of neur…
Obesity is spreading globally and uncontrollably. The imbalance between food intake and energy expenditure culminates in excessive accumulation of body mass. Chronic inflammation and low grade seems to be the phenomenon that disrupts the fine control of energy balance, exerted by the hypothalamus. The inflammation is systemic and insidious, spreading these malignances throughout the body,…
Obesity is one of the main health problems in Brazil and worldwide and the recent advances in the comprehension of its physiopathology has indicated the existence of a functional impairment of the hypothalamic-associated control over food intake. The hypothalamus integrates peripheral signals to complex neurocircuits and exerts a preponderant control over food intake and metabolism throug…
