New interesting substances connected with nutrition are found also very often. For example, visfatin is compound which roles id pathogenesis of obesity is not well known. Observation of results recently published suggests that particularly interesting data are these where psychological and neuropsychological data are combination with genetic data. Genetic study among candidate genes as BDNF, DAT1, 5-HT2A indicates existence of specific polymorphism which predispose to higher BMI.

The results of clinical trials may give hope for obese patients for improving quality of life and better functioning in daily life.
