Genes and Obesity
Opis
A number of genes have been identified that are associated with an increased Body Mass Index (BMI), the standard measurement of obesity. By analyzing these genes, researchers hope to gain a better understanding of what causes obesity and develop ways to tackle the problem. The study of genes and obesity could lead to new treatments. This volume reviews the latest developments in the field. This series provides a forum for discussion of new discoveries, approaches, and ideas. It includes contributions from leading scholars and industry experts. It also includes reference guide for researchers involved in molecular biology and related fields.
