Appetite Regulation's profile in Lund University Research portal

Description

My research group's interest is focused on the consequences of diets rich in energy for the brain and the energy metabolism. Obesity is steadily increasing in the Western world. One reason for this is an increased possibility to choose tasty food, such as high-fat and sucrose-rich food. Obesity hence develops due to the inability to burn excess calories from this energy-dense food. We have identified compunds that could be used in the treatment of obesity. Regarding appetite regulation a simple rule states that tasty food is also energy-rich.
