Over the past two centuries, prevalent models of energy and glucose homeostasis have
emerged from careful anatomical descriptions in tandem with an understanding of cellular
physiology. More recent technological advances have culminated in the identification of
peripheral and central factors that influence neural circuits regulating metabolism. This
Review highlights contributions to our understanding of peripheral and central factors
regulating food intake and energy expenditure.
Abstract
Over the past two centuries, prevalent models of energy and glucose homeostasis have emerged from careful anatomical descriptions in tandem with an understanding of cellular physiology. More recent technological advances have culminated in the identification of peripheral and central factors that influence neural circuits regulating metabolism. This Review highlights contributions to our understanding of peripheral and central factors regulating food intake and energy expenditure.
