Obesity: Integrating Physiological, Pathophysiological and Clinical Perspectives, a volume in Elsevier's Hot Topics in Physiology series, provides coverage across a wide range of physiological disciplines, covering obesity science at a sufficient level to be understood by physiologists who may not be an expert in all subdisciplines, and with an aim of unifying physiological perspectives on obesity. Divided into three sections, the book covers causes of obesity (e.g., regulation of energy balance), the consequences of obesity (e.g., metabolic, disease risk etc.), and strategies to prevent and/or manage obesity (e.g., bariatric surgery, pharmacotherapy, and lifestyle).

This volume is published in association with the International Union of Physiological Sciences (IUPS). It will be of great interest for clinicians, dieticians, exercise physiologists, and molecular biologists.

Highlights the benefits of a physiological approach to obesity
Provides in-depth information for the interested scientist who may not be an expert in the field
Written by global leaders in their field of expertise

Dr. Gonzalez joined the Department for Health at the University of Bath in 2014 as an Assistant Professor in Human Physiology before being promoted to Associate Professor in 2017 and Professor in 2020. He is also a consultant to sports teams and industry. He is interested in human fuel use, how we get fuel from our diet, burn fuels during exercise; and store fuels when they exceed our requirements. His research group employs a variety of methods to understand human fuel use, including indirect calorimetry, tissue biopsies and stable isotope (IV) infusion and ingestion. In recognition of his research, Dr. Gonzalez received the Julie Wallace Award 2018 from the Nutrition Society. He also serves on the editorial board of The Journal of Physiology and am an Associate Editor for the International Journal of Sport Nutrition & Exercise Metabolism.
