title: Physiological control of energy balance.
abstract: Physiological control of energy balance is reviewed in terms of food seeking and enery (food) intake, utilization and storage. In particular the role of hormonal and metabolic signals, as clarified by whole-body calorimetry and cellular studies, and the interaction of energy expenditure with the mechanism regulating intake are outlined.
