Author Biography

This very timely volume provides an in-depth scholarly overview of a critical challenge facing our society-the obesity epidemic Dr. Robert H. Lusting has assembled expert authors to address the fundamental contribution of preprogrammed genetic disorders leading to obesity, as well as the role of very early environmental influences. The chapters range from classic genetic mechanistic understanding through intra-uterine epigenetic influences, factors determining developmental programming, and the new clinical science of perinatal obesogens.
