Adipocytokines: A Potential Link Between Obesity and CNS Disorders
Journal Title: Obesity Research - Open Journal - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
The interrelationships between obesity and high fat mass with different chronic pathophysiological conditions have been taken into consideration in recent decades along with the growing prevalence of obesity. Epidemiological evidence supports the increased risk of the onset and progression of cardiovascular disease (CVD), hypertension, dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes and some types of cancers with obesity.1 Studies in neurological disorders have also suggested the potential contribution of obesity in developing structural pathologies in the brain in different life stages.
