Treating obesity is critical to providing optimal treatment for GI-related diseases. Understanding the cause of obesity means examining factors that contribute to a patient’s metabolic response to a meal, including how nutrients/food interact with the gut microbiome, peripheral organs and other metabolic pathways.
In addition, genetics, the environment and psychosocial interactions significantly influence the mechanisms that govern the regulatory pathways of energy intake and expenditure.
