Written by an international group of noted scientists and clinicians, this volume examines the latest findings on the control of nutritional and fluid balance in health and in various disease states. The contributors provide new insights into the role of the brain and gut in regulating nutrient intake, the mechanisms by which fluid homeostasis is disturbed in disease, and the pathogenesis and treatment of acute and chronic diarrhea, dehydration, anorexia, and obesity. Coverage includes discussions of recent developments in oral rehydration therapy, novel interventions for disease-related anorexia, and new approaches to the reduction and control of body fat mass.
