- Summary
- Abstract: Seven papers review current knowledge on ways in which drugs can influence appetite and feeding, covering thelatest findings derived from human research and animal studies. Topics include: a description of the physiological context in which drugs act on feeding; the neuropharmacological actions of drugs on discrete brain mechanisms, regarding feeding; behavioral, pharmacological aspects of feeding, derived from drug and feeding behavior studies in laboratory animals; the measurement of hunger andfood intake in humans as influenced by the ingestion of drugs; the relationships of anorectic and orexigenic drugs in consideration of the clinical pharmacology of appetite; and the use of drugs for the treatment of obesity and anorexic states. The material covered should be of interest to clinical nutritionists, dietitians, and researchers in physiology, pharmacology, psychology, and other health-related professions. (wz).
