The Regulation of Feeding Behaviors section contains posts/pages that discuss the biochemical, neurophysiological, and pharmacologic processes that regulate and control the desire and drive for feeding.
This section contains posts that cover a variety of highly specialized and integrative topics not often found in a typical Medical Biochemistry textbook. These topics include renal transport biochemistry, physiology, and pathology, biochemistry and physiology of the interactions between the gut and the brain, biochemistry and physiology of the nervous system, skeletal and smooth muscle, steroid and peptide hormones, blood coagulation (hemostasis), biochemistry and physiology of adipose tissue, pathology and molecular biology of cancer, insulin functions, and type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
