متن کاملNeuroanatomy of body weight control: lessons learned from leptin.
Rather than arising from the passive accumulation of excess calories, obesity is a state in which the biologically defended level of body fat stores increases due to defects in the homeostatic process that matches food intake and energy expenditure over time.

There are common beliefs that gastric bypass induces body weight loss because of a reduced food intake and that high-fat diet induces overweight and obesity because of overnutrition.

The authors hypothesize t...
