A team of scientists led by Bilal Sheikh of the Institute for Metabolism, Obesity and Vascular Studies. Munich Helmholtz University. Helmholtz and the Leipzig University School of Medicine found out how obesity affects the state of blood vessels at the molecular level.
The results of this study, published in Nature Metabolism, showed that metabolic diseases (metabolism-related diseases) have a different effect on blood vessels.
Thus, in adipose tissue and metabolic diseases, blood vessels in the liver begin to process excess lipids with difficulty. In this case, metabolic dysfunction may develop in the renal vessels and severe inflammation of the pulmonary vessels may occur. In addition, the transport of substances related to the vessels of the brain is impaired.
This study showed that a person can develop various diseases over time due to poor eating habits. In addition, it has been learned that a healthy diet can improve the condition of blood vessels at the molecular level, but only partially. For example, the blood vessels in the liver were almost completely restored, but the vessels in the kidneys were severely damaged, despite weight loss and proper nutrition.
