Abstract
This review describes a homeostatic model for the regulation of nutrient intake and the control of partitioning between fat and protein storage. With this homeostatic model, the clinical abnormalities of energy storage such as obesity, anorexia nervosa, and cancer cachexia are examined and potential mechanisms suggested.
