Obesity and its impact on health
Obesity and its impact on health[electronic resource] /edited by Methil Kannan Kutty, Asita Elengoe. - Singapore :Springer Singapore :2021. - xvi, 181 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Chapter 1. Introduction -- Chapter 2. The Economics of Obesity-A Public Policy Perspective -- Chapter 3. Obesity and skin problems -- Chapter 4. Obesity and endometriosis -- Chapter 5. Hypogonadism -- Chapter 6. Effect of obesity in cardiovascular system -- Chapter 7. Impact of obesity on vaccination -- Chapter 8. Obesity-linked diseases (Comorbidities) -- Chapter 9. Imaging as a tool for measuring body fat -- Chapter 10. Extrapolation from clinical trial to practice: current pharmacotherapy on obesity -- Chapter 11. Nanotechnology in the context of obesity -- Chapter 12. Computational approach in drug development for obesity.

This book summarizes the effects of obesity on health and its correlation with a wide range of debilitating and life-threatening conditions in humans. It discusses the possible pathological mechanisms that are involved in the development of obesity and highlights obesity-associated molecular mechanisms that contribute to reproductive dysfunctions in men and women. The book provides mechanistic insights on the role of obesity in cardiovascular and respiratory disorders, and examines the role of the complementary molecular mechanism of the gut microbiota in the development of obesity. It also reviews the interaction between the metabolic system and immune cells in the pathogenesis of obesity-associated diseases. Lastly, it assesses the latest advances in nanomedicine as an emerging strategy for the treatment of obesity.
