Increasing adiposity with a clinical endpoint of obesity is associated with a progressive increase in risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). However, we are only beginning to understand the physiological and pathophysiological mechanisms by which excessive body fat storage causes CVD. In this issue of Hypertension, the findings of Wildman et al1 extend and strengthen previous observations2–5 by...

متن کاملLarge artery stiffening with weight gain in humans: role of visceral fat accumulation.
We tested the hypothesis that weight gain would increase arterial stiffness in healthy nonobese adults. To address this, we overfed 14 nonobese men (age: 23+/-1 years) approximately 1000 kcal/d for 6 to 8 weeks until a 5-kg weight gain was achieved. Carotid diameters (high-resolution ultrasound) and pressures (applanation tonometry), body composition (dual energy x-ray absorptiometry), and abdo...
متن کاملFTO, Type 2 Diabetes, and Weight Gain Throughout Adult Life
OBJECTIVE FTO is the most important polygene identified for obesity. We aimed to investigate whether a variant in FTO affects type 2 diabetes risk entirely through its effect on BMI and how FTO influences BMI across adult life span. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Through regression models, we assessed the relationship between the FTO single nucleotide polymorphisms rs9939609, type 2 diabetes, an...
