✦ Synopsis

Obesity is a heath problem affecting a significant fraction of adult Americans and is on the rise globally. It is of importance to find treatments that achieve medically significant weight loss and successful long-term maintenance of a desired weight. Recent transgenic mouse studies and genetic characterization of spontaneous rodent obesity mutants, together with gene linkage analysis in humans, have led to an increased understanding of the physiologic and molecular mechanisms underlying obesity. However, much remains to be studied in this complex field of research. In this review, we discuss the physiology and genetics underlying obesity and how studies in rodents and humans are converging, producing a greater understanding of the mechanisms underlying this health problem.

Rodent UV-sensitive mutant cell lines of complementation groups 6 and 8 are the genetic counterparts of human Cockayne syndrome CS-B and CS-A, respectively. The original mutant in this group, UV61, was described as defective in cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer removal after high doses of UV. We have exa
