Description
Much attention is currently focused on the role of dietary fat in food intake regulation and obesity. Expert papers in this volume discuss the properties and effects on food intake of several fat substitutes and replacers. Metabolic and sensory factors that contribute to preferences for high-fat foods and the propensity to develop obesity are also addressed. In closely related papers the effects of dietary carbohydrates, including reduced-energy bulking sweeteners, on glucose and insulin metabolism are considered. Further papers cover the influence of genetic background, regional adipose tissue distribution and exercise on energy metabolism in humans, while others focus on diet and brown and white adipose tissue metabolism.
