Springer Brain Somatic CrossTalk and the Central Control of Metabolism 1st Editon 2003 Hardbound by Claude Kordon, I. Robinson, Jacques Hanoune, R. Dantzer
In mammals, a robust physiologic system acts to maintain relative constancy of weight. A key element of this system is leptin. The nature of this 'brain-somatic' cross talk is as yet poorly understood, but it is likely to have important implications for the pathophysiology and treatment of obesity, diabetes and other metabolic disorders.
