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.

肥胖及其相关的健康风险是一个发展中国家的问题。脂肪在个体中的分布并不均匀;女性的皮下脂肪较多，男性的腹部脂肪较多。腹部脂肪与肥胖的健康风险有关。目前项目的目的是检查从大脑到脂肪的神经通路以及所涉及的化学物质，以便更好地了解体内脂肪分布的确定方式，并开发适当的治疗方法。
