Pathophysiological mechanisms of the hypertension development in obese individuals. Blue—‘traditional pathway’. Red—new concepts involving fat tissue role. The traditional pathway was directed to the kidney and impaired sodium excretion. It is now known that the mechanism of the development of arterial hypertension in obesity is more complex and is associated with excess adipose tissue and abnormal adipocytes function.
