Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Obesity is one of the leading preventable causes of death worldwide, with increasing prevalence in adults and children. The World Health Organization (WHO) rates it as one of the most serious public health problems of the twenty-first century.
The aim of this Special Issue is for the better understanding, treatment, and prevention of obesity to improve the lives of those affected, and thereby to reduce the incidence of obesity-related diseases. We want to contribute to the cure and education of obesity through the sharing of scientific information on the latest developments in obesity among members of Korean Society for the Study of Obesity and other international societies. The journal publishes articles covering all aspects of obesity, in particular drug discovery, lipid metabolism, screening strategy, assay development, enzymes, public health, and Korean food. Nutritional, exercise, psychological, and public education aspects are also included in the studies.
This Special Issue includes research papers on the basics and medicine of obesity and obesity-related diseases, as well as the specific applications of chemistry, such as screening strategy and assay, biochemistry and biotechnology, genetics, and public education study. We think that solving the problems of obesity will be accompanied by various aspects of social problems in this special issue. The types of articles published include original articles, editorials, case reports, reviews, short communications, and letters to the editor.
