15 Preface The field of obesity and the metabolic syndrome continues to advance on all fronts. This book is an effort to bring together a series of chapters that cover many of the newer facets of the problem. We have tried to capture the goal of this book in the subtitle from bench to bedside. Fundamentally, as human biologists, we are interested in understanding the problem of obesity and the metabolic syndrome and then applying this new knowledge to easing the burden of people afflicted in this disease state. We begin with the laboratory findings. Butler and his colleagues begin the process with an illuminating discussion of the factors that control the termination of meals. After a brief review of the neuroendocrine control system, they provide a detailed look at the gastrointestinal and pancreatic factors that can stimulate or inhibit food intake. They then look at the long-term control affected by leptin and insulin. In the next chapter, Dr. Chumlea discusses the various methods for measuring obesity. Dual-energy absorptiometry (DXA) has the ability to provide estimates of fat mass, lean mass and bone mass making it quite versatile. However, from a practical perspective, weight, waist circumference and the body mass index (body weight in kg divided by the square of height in meters) are the most useful. The body mass index (BMI) has been the most widely used index in the assessment of the current changes in prevalence of obesity, providing a good picture of the increasing epidemic of obesity. The progress of this epidemic has been well characterized by Dr. Mokdad from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the U.S. Governmental agency charged with tracking this epidemic. Genetic factors are clearly behind the susceptibility to obesity that characterizes this epidemic. Dr. Comuzzie, who has contributed important information to this problem, focuses on the advances that we have experienced in understanding the relations of nature and nurture. In a well written and timely chapter, Drs. Levin and Clegg argue the case of a set-point or a defended body weight. They begin with the historical and anatomic data and the move to discussing the intricacies of the mechanisms that control this process. Fat is the site for storage of extra energy. When the fat cells reach their maximum storage capacity, new fat cells may be recruited, but fat may also be stored ectopically in other organs. Tchkonia, Corkey, Kirkland explore this important new concept in a chapter dealing with lipotoxicity. The conditions for lipotoxicity occur when net capacity to store and utilize lipids is exceeded in diseases
