Role of selective leptin resistance in diet-induced obesity hypertension.

Leptin is an adipocyte-derived hormone that plays a key role in the regulation of body weight through its actions on appetite and metabolism. Leptin also increases sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) and blood pressure. We tested the hypothesis that diet-induced obesity is associated with resistance to the metabolic actions of leptin but preservation of its renal SNA and arterial pressure effects,...

Leptin and Hypertension in Obesity

Leptin, a peptide discovered more than 10 years ago, decreases food intake and increases sympathetic nerve activity to both thermogenic and non-thermogenic tissue. Leptin was initially believed to be an anti-obesity hormone, owing to its metabolic effects. However, obese individuals, for unknown reasons, become resistant to the satiety and weight-reducing effect of the hormone, but preserve lep...

Obesity Hypertension: The Regulatory Role of Leptin

Leptin is a 16-kDa-peptide hormone that is primarily synthesized and secreted by adipose tissue. One of the major actions of this hormone is the control of energy balance by binding to receptors in the hypothalamus, leading to reduction in food intake and elevation in temperature and energy expenditure. In addition, increasing evidence suggests that leptin, through both direct and indirect mech...

Leptin, obesity and hypertension: importance of nursing actions

The objective of this systematic review was to retrieve topics of relevance to the implications of leptin in modulating blood pressure and in the genesis, prevention and treatment of hypertension associated with obesity. Considering the hormone as a common link between the two pathological conditions, were identified actions to reduce the leptinemia, proposed and discussed in the literature. It...

Obesity-induced hypertension: role of sympathetic nervous system, leptin, and melanocortins.

Excess weight gain contributes to increased blood pressure in most patients with essential hypertension. Although the mechanisms of obesity hypertension are not fully understood, increased renal sodium reabsorption and impaired pressure natriuresis play key roles. Several mechanisms contribute to altered kidney function and hypertension in obesity, including activation of the sympathetic nervou...
