Appetite regulation

Obesity is a metabolic condition which results from a combination of low energy expenditure and high caloric intake although numerous susceptibility genes have been identified.  Appetite control originates from the hypothalamus where an appetite stimulatory and an appetite inhibitory circuit oppose each other, influenced by peripheral hormones that provide feedback on energy intake and expenditure.  Uncontrolled obesity in humans increases the risk of other diseases, the most common being type 2 diabetes and a variety of cardiovascular complications including hypertension, coronary artery disease and stroke.
