Description
Overweight and the Metabolic Syndrome is a definitive clinical guide that explores the complex relationship between obesity and metabolic dysfunction. Written by renowned endocrinologist G.A. Bray, this Springer publication synthesizes current research on how excess body weight contributes to the development of metabolic syndrome—a cluster of conditions including hypertension, dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia, and insulin resistance.
The book addresses the physiological mechanisms underlying metabolic disease, examining the role of adipose tissue, hormonal dysregulation, and inflammatory pathways. It provides clinicians and researchers with comprehensive coverage of diagnostic criteria, epidemiology, and therapeutic approaches. The content spans from molecular mechanisms to practical management strategies, offering evidence-based recommendations for prevention and treatment of both obesity and metabolic complications.
