title: [The role of osteopontin and adiponectin in the development of insulin resistance and hypertension in obesed adolescents].
abstract: The purpose of this investigation is to determine the role of osteopontin and adiponectin in the formation of arterial hypertension in adolescents with obesity. 67 adolescents with obesity have been examined.  Two groups were composed taking into account the state of arterial pressure. The first group included adolescents with obesity and arterial hypertension, the second group - adolescents with obesity and without arterial hypertension. Arterial pressure was measured and serum content of osteopontin, insulin, C-peptid and adiponectin in blood has been determined. The result of the investigation has revealed that in adolescents without arterial pressure the growth of insulin and C-peptid in the serum of blood has been observed; in patients with obesity and arterial hypertension the increase of content of osteopontin and hypoadiponectinemia has been occurred. The revealed changes indicated about the pathogenic role of osteopontin and adiponectin in the formation of arterial hypertension in adolescents with obesity.
