Obesity, characterized by chronic inflammation in adipose tissue, disrupts hormonal and immune system function as an endocrine organ. Being overweight or obese significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, musculoskeletal disorders, and certain cancers. If you're facing struggles with unhealthy weight, remember that you're not alone. In the United States, one-third of adults are affected by obesity, contributing to a significant portion of total mortality rates. Mounting evidence highlights how obesity disrupts the delicate balance of the energy homeostasis system, making weight loss challenging. Complex neurohormonal mechanisms involving interactions between hormones and neurons within the hypothalamus, a brain structure, play a critical role in regulating weight by influencing appetite and food intake, including the delicate balance of hormones like ghrelin and leptin. These interactions, in conjunction with signals from the gastrointestinal tract and adipocyte storage, ensure that the appropriate signals are conveyed to the hypothalamus. Imbalances in these interactions contribute to various pathophysiological conditions associated with weight imbalance and disrupted energy homeostasis. Furthermore, the influence of an industrial lifestyle and technology-driven changes, affecting physical activity availability, food manufacturing, and consumption, further complicate the management of weight.
