• Whether it's during a 42km marathon run or one
explosive movement like a tennis serve, every
single movement in the human body is powered
by the breakdown of one chemical compound -
adenosine triphosphate (ATP). 
• Alterations in factors that control food
intake and regulate energy metabolism are
related to well-known pathological
conditions such as obesity, type 2 diabetes
and the metabolic syndrome, and some
types of cancer.
• In addition, many effects and regulatory
actions of well-known hormones such as
insulin are still poorly understood. The
consideration of adipose tissue as a dynamic
and active tissue, for instance, raises several
important issues regarding body weight and
the control of food intake.
• These factors point to the importance of further
studies to expand our understanding of energy
metabolism, thereby improving our quality of life
and achieving a comprehensive view of how the
human body functions.
