Abstract

Obesity is closely associated with development of hypertension. Adipose tissue produces molecules of renin-angiotensin system, which contribute to metabolic as well as cardiovascular disorders that develop in obesity. CASE-J Study demonstrated the usefulness of angiotensin receptor blockade in preventing new onset diabetes in obese hypertensive patients.
