The endocrine system releases hormones that act on target cells to regulate development, growth, energy metabolism, reproduction, and many behaviors. The nervous system releases neurotransmitters or neurohormones that regulate neurons, muscle cells, and endocrine cells.

Eating disorders typically begin during late childhood, adolescence, or early adulthood. In developed countries such as the United States, they occur in about 4 percent of people and are much more common in females than males. In developing countries, they are less common but increasing in frequency. Eating disorders are serious diseases and can even be fatal.

WAT is primarily linked to fat storage and obesity, while BAT is crucial for thermogenesis. WAT cells store energy and secrete hormones like leptin, expanding in size with obesity. Exercise might convert WAT to "beige" cells, which have BAT-like features. However, obese individuals tend to have fewer beige cells due to the insulating effects of excess WAT.

Leptin, produced by fat cells, influences the hypothalamus, inhibits food intake, and affects liver and muscle cells. Although some human trials show potential benefits of recombinant leptin for certain genetic mutations, outcomes for the general obesity population have not been promising.
