Modeling the relationship between body weight and energy intake: A molecular diffusion-based approach

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.
