Libros de Medicina en PDF Obesity and Lipotoxicity Obesity and its associated diseases are a major and growing worldwide public health problem of our century.

Either only conservative methods or only surgical approaches have limited efficacy, in part due to the involvement of counterregulatory multiple metabolic pathways in obesity.
