Research and Markets: Obesity: Genomics and Postgenomics - The Current Understanding of Genetic Mechanisms

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/481aff/obesity_genomics) has announced the addition of the "Obesity: Genomics and Postgenomics" book to their offering.

This book comprehensively accounts the current understanding of genetic mechanisms of obesity by analyzing obesity phenotypes and genotypes and, gene polymorphisms and mutations, and current results from animal model research and genetic studies in human models. By presenting the impact of genetic factors in the development of obesity and key molecules related to the pathophysiology of the disease, this source hopes to pinpoint new pathways for the prevention and management of obesity in various populations.

Key Topics Covered:

Obesity Phenotypes.

Genetic Epidemiology: The Past and the Future

Epigenetics and Obesity Development

Monogenic Obesities in Animal Models

Monogenic Obesities in Human

Polygenic Obesities in Animal Models What Have Brought Animal Polygenic Models?

Polygenic Obesities in Humans

Gene Environment

Genes and Organs

New Methodologies and New Concept in the Obesity Field

Perspective: Genetics of Obesity
