Obesity, as well as other factors and/or diseases, results in regulation of a variety of adipocyte-derived factors, typically called adipokines. Several of these factors have been demonstrated to regulate blood pressure. Dysregulated production of adipokines may contribute to the link between obesity and hypertension. Arrows indicate regulation that is consistent with an increase in blood pressure.
