TY - JOUR T1 - DEvelopment of novel medications for use in the treatment of obesity in children will be directed by delineating controls of energy homeostasis AU - Sherman PM, Zlotkin SH Y1 - 2003/08/01 N1 - 10.1001/archpedi.157.8.721 JO - Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine SP - 721 EP - 721 VL - 157 IS - 8 N2 - Future attention must be paid to both the prevention and treatment of childhood obesity. However, as many will know from personal experience, it is not clear what are the most appropriate interventions. Even very small discrepancies in energy intake will result, in the long run, in excess weight gain.1 Reduced intake, increased exercise, and the changes in lifestyle that are advocated to achieve these goals are difficult—if not impossible—for many to maintain for protracted periods of time.
