[Obesity and hypertension. Recent advances in etiopathogenesis].
The aim of the study is to evaluate the pathogenetic factors which determine the association between obesity and hypertension. In particular we consider the role of adipose tissue. Activity of sympathetic nervous system, hyperinsulinemia, lower action of the atrial natriuretic peptide are important to understand the correlation between these pathologies.
