Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Worldwide obesity has nearly tripled since the time of the Green Revolution that boosted the production of grains approximately 2.5 times. Obesity reduces not only life expectancy but also Healthy Life-Years due to its number of serious complications including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, certain cancers, and stroke. Thus, obesity and related diseases create burdensome health care and other economic costs for society. Growing obesity is a multi-faceted problem that will require many levels of public action. Our responsibility as members of the scientific community is to uncover novel mechanisms underlying the development of obesity and type 2 diabetes, and to develop therapeutic strategies to prevent these diseases for the health and welfare of society. For submission to this Issue, both original research articles and comprehensive review papers are welcomed.
