Appetite
The primary function of appetite is to control adequate energy intake in order to meet an organism's metabolic requirements. The interplay between hunger, appetite stimulation and food intake is tightly regulated by the central nervous system and conditioned by numerous inherently biological as well as acquired social and cultural phenomena. Appetite is closely linked to individual behaviour, thereby affecting energy intake as well as qualitative food structure and represents a basis for possible therapeutic intervention in individuals with impaired appetite regulations. This book presents several perspectives on appetite regulation in humans and animal models. The importance of understanding altered appetite regulation in cancer is highlighted as well as the effects of exercise on appetite. Finally, this book also presents new research into the role of genetic variability in ghrelin in dietary composition.
Drugs and Appetite
Abstract: Seven papers review current knowledge on ways in which drugs can influence appetite and feeding, covering thelatest findings derived from human research and animal studies. Topics include: a description of the physiological context in which drugs act on feeding; the neuropharmacological actions of drugs on discrete brain mechanisms, regarding feeding; behavioral, pharmacological aspects of feeding, derived from drug and feeding behavior studies in laboratory animals; the measurement of hunger andfood intake in humans as influenced by the ingestion of drugs; the relationships of anorectic and orexigenic drugs in consideration of the clinical pharmacology of appetite; and the use of drugs for the treatment of obesity and anorexic states. The material covered should be of interest to clinical nutritionists, dietitians, and researchers in physiology, pharmacology, psychology, and other health-related professions. (wz).

Marihuana as Medicine
On 26 August 1996, the Minister of Health, Welfare and Sport requested the Health Council of the Netherland to inform her, as soon as possible, about the scientific situation relating to the medical use of marihuana and its active constituents. A study of the literature highlights four applications for which marihuana and cannabinoids in particular are alleged to be effective: chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting; as an appetite stimulant in AIDS patients and cancer patients; as a muscle relaxant and tremor-suppressor in multiple sclerosis; intraocular pressure lowering in glaucoma. In order to assess the efficacy of marihuana and cannabinoids for these indications, the Committee has studied the literature published during the past 25 years. On the basis of this literature survey, the Committee has concluded that evidence is insufficient to justify the medical use of marihuana. Furthermore, with regard to marihuana, the Committee believes that physicians cannot accept responsibility for a product of unknown composition that has not been subjected to quality control. This is not restricted to smoking, but also applies to other forms of consumption, such as tea.
