Chronic exposure to high concentrations of free fatty acids in the blood affects pancreatic ß cell function, insulin secretion and lipid synthesis in the liver, and storage in adipose tissue. Maintaining the normal levels of fatty acids requires coordinated regulation between the liver, adipose tissue and skeletal muscle.  \u003cp\u003eThis book deals with the molecular aspects of fatty acid action in obesity and insulin resistance. The topics include lipid metabolism and adipose tissue biology, and ß cell function and insulin resistance. Chapters deal with the molecular genetics and molecular physiology of energy homeostasis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This book will be an excellent resource for either beginning students or more established investigators in the field.  The speakers are all top-notch researchers who gave clear and informative presentations. The integrative nature of the follow-up discussions and the excellent insights provided by the chair of the meeting throughout give the book an unusual coherence and consistency that is often lacking in broad, general reviews.\" (\u003ci\u003eDoody's\u003c\/i\u003e, April 2008)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSymposium on Fatty acids and lipotoxicity in obesity and diabetes, held at Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, 17–19 October 2006.  \u003cp\u003eEditors: Gregory Bock (Organizer) and Jamie Goode.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis symposium is based on a proposal made by Peng Li.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBruce M.
