Abstract
Obesity is a new specialty of medicine fighting for recognition. Current treatments with diet, exercise, and lifestyle modification have a high failure rate. Few obesity drugs exist and they are not very effective. Research should focus on understanding basic mechanisms, the numerous etiologies of obesity, and new drug development. Understanding the mechanisms of bariatric surgery, which does work, will lead to new drugs and better treatment.Entities:
