Cardiovascular Diseases With Obesity

It is well known that obesity is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and one of the main causes of the increased risk of diseases such as dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, high blood pressure (BPH) ) or hypertension, and atherosclerosis in adults and children.

Obesity and increased adipose tissue influence the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Adipose tissue, which is actually a dynamic organ, is divided into white adipose tissue (WAT) and brown adipose tissue (BAT) and is associated with metabolic and inflammatory systems, with protective effects on energy homeostasis. WAT secretes peptides and proteins that act by regulating biological and physiological conditions and play an important role in obesity, insulin resistance, inflammatory and immune functions, atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease.

Adiponectin is a peptide produced in adipose tissue, which is expressed at high levels by lean and healthy people and becomes deregulated in obesity.
