The study of animal behaviour is important for both ecology and ecotoxicology, yet research
in these two fields is currently develo** independently. Here, we synthesize the available …

Body fat mass increases when energy intake exceeds energy expenditure. In the long term,
a positive energy balance will result in obesity. The worldwide prevalence of obesity has …

Drawing on the disciplines of neurophysiology and physics, Neuromechanics of Human
Movement, Fourth Edition, explores how the nervous system controls the actions of muscles …

Elevated branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) are associated with obesity and insulin
resistance. How long-term dietary BCAAs impact late-life health and lifespan is unknown …

Introduction Obesity is a disorder characterized by a disproportionate increase in body
weight in relation to height, mainly due to the accumulation of fat, and is considered a …

Obesity represents the most prevalent nutritional problem worldwide which in the long run
predisposes to development of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, endometrial carcinoma …

Our knowledge of the physiological systems controlling energy homeostasis has increased
dramatically over the last decade. The roles of peripheral signals from adipose tissue …

Serotonin is a neuromodulator that is extensively entangled in fundamental aspects of brain
function and behavior. We present a computational view of its involvement in the control of …

Over 35 years of research suggests that endogenous hypothalamic serotonin (5-
hydroxytryptamine) plays an important part in within-meal satiation and post-meal satiety …

Environmental contaminants, including pharmaceuticals, can alter behavior and possibly
impact population and community structures. One important behavior that could be impacted …
