Table 3.

Promotion of arterial hypertension by proposed pathogenetic mechanisms of H. pylori and MetS-related NAFLD.

Mechanisms
Promotion of arterial hypertension by:
• Augmented oxidative stress
• Increased insulin resistance
• Gastrointestinal dysbiosis
• Increased vasoconstriction and decreased vasodilation
• Genetic and epigenetic modifications

H. pylori, Helicobacter pylori; MetS, metabolic syndrome; NAFLD, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
