Cellular physiology; Pharmacology; Obesity: treatment & therapy

Series: Progress in Molecular Biology and Translational Science

Obesity is an epidemic with enormous health, economic and social burdens. Current drugs for obesity treatment are far from ideal in terms of efficacy and side effects. Reviews in this volume of Progress in Molecular Biology and Translational Science summarize current status in studies of a number of G protein-coupled receptors that were shown to be promising targets for obesity treatments. Some of these receptors also cause monogenic obesity in humans.

Reviews for G Protein-Coupled Receptors in Energy Homeostasis and Obesity Pathogenesis

Praise for the series: Full of interest not only for the molecular biologist-for whom the numerous references will be invaluable-but will also appeal to a much wider circle of biologists, and in fact to all those who are concerned with the living cell. --British Medical Journal
