Editorial: Hormonal and Neuroendocrine Regulation of Energy Balance
Energy balance is the relationship between energy intake and energy expenditure plus body energy storage. In mammals, the regulation of energy balance and body weight is a complex process wherein hormonal and neuroendocrine systems cooperate via cross-talk between central and peripheral signals. When energy intake exceeds energy expenditure, an increase in body mass, of which about 70% is body ...
متن کاملThe Neuroendocrine Control of Energy Balance
When discussing the causes of obesity, it is easy to point fingers at the individual. “Gluttony” and “sloth” after all are two of the seven “deadly sins.” Obese adults and their children are assumed to have “free choice” with regard to food intake and energy expenditure and are therefore “responsible” for their metabolic “fates” (1). But no child chooses to become obese; indeed the quality of l...
متن کاملNeuroendocrine regulation of energy homeostasis
Energy homeostasis is under a strict control that allows the individual to adequately respond to environmental and internal energy demands. It depends on the coordination between feeding behaviour and energy expenditure. Different peripheral (humoral and neural) factors respond to conditions of negative energy balance inhibiting basal metabolic rate, and altering the synthesis of hypothalamic p...

total fast of approximately 150 days! This impressive energy reserve is due both to the high energy content of triglycerides versus polysaccharides, and the fact that triglycerides are stored in essentially anhydrous Harvard Medical School form; polysaccharides such as glycogen are hydrated Boston, Massachusetts 02115 in storage form, decreasing their efficiency as fuel. † Beth Israel Deaconess...
متن کاملCancer and Hormonal Balance
Many cancers are hormonal related. Estrogen dominance may be accountable for breast, prostate, cervix, endometrial, uterine, and ovarian cancer, for example. Many researchers attribute the high incidence of these cancers to the ubiquitous presence of environmental estrogen (also called xenobiotics) that is present in our food such as commercially raised poultry and cattle; pesticides; and commo...
