Obesity and associated diseases (type-2 diabetes [T2D], hypertension, etc.) are rising exponentially to pandemic levels worldwide. Despite major advances in our understanding of the signaling pathways involved in energy homeostasis, we currently possess very few safe and effective therapeutic answers to obesity. Identifying new mechanisms that have the potential to inform about the development of more efficacious and safer drugs represents a major need for society and a challenge for the biomedical field. This latest thematic series in
Genes and Nutrition features invited topic reviews by leaders in the field, which focus on established and novel major determinants of the Obesity epidemic such as dietary fat, branched chain amino acids and probiotics, and gene X environment interaction, as well as gut microbiota and microRNA.
