%0 Journal Article %T Modeling the relationship between body weight and energy intake: A molecular diffusion-based approach %A Zhejun Gong %A Zhefeng Gong %J Biology Direct %D 2012 %I BioMed Central %R 10.1186/1745-6150-7-19 %X This model was applied to food intake and body weight data recorded in humans; the model showed a good fit to the experimental data. This model was also effective in predicting future body weight.In conclusion, this model based on molecular diffusion provides a new insight into the body weight mechanisms.This article was reviewed by Dr. Cabral Balreira (nominated by Dr. Peter Olofsson), Prof. Yang Kuang and Dr. Chao Chen. %K Molecular diffusion %K Body weight %K Model %K Choice making %U http://www.biology-direct.com/content/7/1/19/abstract
