Moreover, energy balance regulation is a complex process aimed at maintaining constant energy stores. Presenting a detailed and comprehensive account of the roles of specific peptides in energy balance, food intake control and co-morbidities, this review provides a better understanding of the patho-physiology of energy balance and obesity UR - https://cabi-prod.literatumonline.com/action/showBook?doi=10.1079%2F9781845934071.0000 ER -
