    Scientists at Monash University’s Biomedicine Discovery Institute have found a mechanism by which the brain coordinates feeding with energy expenditure, solving a puzzle that has previously eluded researchers and offering a potential novel target for the treatment of obesity. Obesity – a major risk factor for many diseases including cardiovascular disease, Type 2 diabetes, liver disease and several cancers – is at epidemic levels in Australia.
