Obesity Pathology and Therapy

While the etiology & health implications of obesity have been covered in other books, this volume not only provides an update of this information, but also covers three important aspects that are essential to an understanding of current & future directions in the pharmacological treatment of obesity. The first of these is a review of the pharmacology of known antiobesity agents. Second, perspectives are provided from leading researchers on the most promising sources of new antiobesity drugs in the near term. Finally, recommendations are made on what needs to be done to develop future molecular targets for the next generation of antiobesity drugs.Bjhorntorp, Per is the author of 'Obesity Pathology and Therapy' with ISBN 9783540661337 and ISBN 3540661336.
