What's becoming clear to scientists in the obesity business is that the body's energy-processing system involves not one or two but a maze of metabolic pathways. POMC, leptin and brown fat cells are part of the story. But nerve cells have also been implicated in weight regulation, and it's not clear how these different pathways relate to one another. "Not a month goes by," says Dr. Eric Ravussin, director of endocrine research at Eli Lilly, "without publication of a new pathway that regulates feeding behavior, giving us new potential targets...
...Within the first minute, I felt myself cringe as I watched an unproportionally busty female, Yoko, slowly peel off her skin tight shirt as she stood in the direct pathway of softly animated sunlight that happened to be emanating from her bedroom window.

But, says geneticist Juan Carlos Belmonte, the study's senior scientist, "we didn't know if one of these genes by itself was sufficient to send a limb down one pathway or the other...
...prove that the New Pathway has accomplished something specific is hard," Federman says. "Medical students will adapt to anything in order to get their education. But they like [the New Pathway] better...
