This unique two-part issue of the Endocrinology and Metabolism Clinics is a must-read. It addresses multiple aspects of obesity and the brain, as well as inflammation. The brain’s regulation of appetite and satiety; and hepatic glucose metabolism by nutrients and hormones, are addressed, as well as epidemiology of obesity and monogenic disorders. Articles on insulin resistance and its connection to atherosclerosis, endothelial dysfunction, metabolic syndrome, and its relation to the link between obesity and cardiovascular disease, are included. Complications of obesity are addressed, including hyperlipidemia and hypertension. Other topics covered are fatty acids; the adipose cell as an endocrine system; inflammation and ER stress; mitochondrial dysfunction; the role of gut hormones; the roles of adipose tissue mass and ectopic fat; inflammation and the immune system; and the microbial role in obesity.

Obesity has become a worldwide epidemic that is also driving the marked increase in Type 2 diabetes across the globe. While it is easily recognizable clinically, and readily measurable in the United States, a feature that is not well recognized is the central adiposity that may be the only or primary feature in South East Asian communities. Thus it is imperative for clinicians to be brought up do date in order for preventative or therapeutic modalities are introduced early in the disease process. This issue of Medical Clinics of North America covers numerous clinical aspects of obesity including metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, the link with cardiovascular disease, dyslipidemia, and hypertension. Several treatment modalities are covered including diet, exercise, cognitive and behavioral approaches, medications, and surgery.
