Brief description Obesity and its associated health risks are a developing world problem. Fat is not distributed uniformly in an individual; females have more subcutaneous, and males more abdominal, fat. Abdominal fat is associated with the health risks of obesity. The aims of the current project are to examine the neuronal pathways from the brain to fat and the chemicals involved in order to better understand the way in which fat distribution is determined in the body and develop appropriate therapies.
