Metabolic and appetitive regulation of adipocyte mass during treatment of obesity
Abstract Adipose mass is homeostatically maintained within a narrow range despite fluctuations in daily calorie intake and activity levels. Constituting an adipose mass “set point,” this homeostatic regulation includes sensing mechanisms in the form of hormones reflecting caloric intake that serve as mediators of appetitive behaviors and adipose mass ...
