• Sommario/riassunto: Glucose is an integral part of whole-body energy homeostasis and is tightly regulated by numerous endocrine, neuronal and behavioural systems, which ensure that glucose levels in the blood are maintained within a narrow physiological range. This book examines brain glucosensing and its effect on the body.
