Obesity and overweight are one of the fundamental health problems of the contemporary world. The prevalence of obesity and overweight in developed countries has reached 50% and is constantly increasing. Visceral adipose tissue in obese subject releases many biologically active substances which may play a potential role in the pathogenesis of hypertension. These active substances include: angiotensin II, tumour necrosis factor, C-reactive protein, interleukin 6, resistin. Insulin resistance, typical for obese people, increases sympathetic nervous system activation and renal tubular sodium reabsorption. Epidemiological and clinical studies clearly show the relationship between obesity, overweight and prevalence of hypertension. At the same ti...
