Peptic Ulcer, Gastric Secretion, and Body Build.
EDITORIAL SYNOPSIS The long-held view that body build could be related to gastric secretion and a diathesis to the development of gastric or duodenal ulcer seems to have been disproved by this careful study, in which the peak acid output of the augmented histamine test could not be correlated with body weight, surface area, or linearity in a group of normal and ulcer subjects. Re-examination of...

Technically, obesity is defined as the abnormal accumulation of ≥20% of body fat, over the individual's ideal body weight. The latter constitutes the maximal healthful value for an individual that is calculated based chiefly on the height, age, build and degree of muscular development. How...

Obesity is a common problem in much of the western world today in that is linked directly with several disease processes, notably, hypertension. It is becoming clear that the adipocyte is not merely an inert organ for storage of energy but that it also secretes a host of factors that interact with each other and may result in elevated blood pressure. Of particular importance is the putative rol...
متن کاملObesity and Hypertension
The link between obesity and hypertension is well known, but there are still many questions to be answered: Is abdominal adiposity rather than overall obesity more closely associated with high blood pressure? Is obesity an independent cardiovascular risk factor even if not combined with hypertension? Can obesity be metabolically benign? To what extent weight reduction is expected to contribute ...
متن کاملObesity, metabolism, and hypertension.
The relationship between obesity and hypertension is complex and poorly understood. A developing body of information suggests that metabolic factors related to the obese state are importantly involved. The pertinent observations include: (1) Diet influences sympathetic nervous system activity. Fasting suppresses, while carbohydrate and fat feeding stimulate, sympathetic activity. (2) Dietary-in...
