According to the World Health Organization, obesity has reached epidemic proportions with 300 millions of them clinically obese. Obesity and overweight pose a major risk for serious diet-related chronic diseases, including type II diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and certain forms of cancer. Obesity is a very complex problem and does not appear to be only a consequence of our way of life. Therefore, understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying the development of this metabolic disease is important in the aim to find new therapy avenues.

据世界卫生组织称，肥胖已达到流行病的程度，其中 3 亿人患有临床肥胖。肥胖和超重是与饮食相关的严重慢性疾病的主要风险，包括二型糖尿病、心血管疾病和某些形式的癌症。肥胖是一个非常复杂的问题，似乎不仅仅是我们生活方式的结果。因此，了解这种代谢疾病发展的分子机制对于寻找新的治疗途径非常重要。
