The renin-angiotensin system and natriuretic peptides in obesity-associated hypertension

Engeli, Stefan, Sharma, Arya M.·2001·Journal of Molecular Medicine

Abstract

Excessive accumulation of adipose tissue is associated with profound alterations in the cardiovascular system. including an increase in systemic blood pressure. It now appears clear that a central feature of obesity-associated hypertension is related to changes in sodium handling that may result from abnormalities in sympathetic nervous system activity, the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, natriuretic peptides, and kidney function. In this paper we review the role of these factors in the development of obesity-associated hypertension, thereby focusing on the potential role of adipose tissue in these alterations.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Experimental animals and people with obesity generally have modest increases in most components of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, including angiotensin II and aldosterone.

    “Experimental animals and people with obesity generally have modest increases in most components of the RAAS, including angiotensin II (AngII) and aldosterone6,59.”
  • Obese subjects, especially those with visceral obesity, often have mild to moderate increases in plasma renin activity (PRA), angiotensinogen, ACE activity, AngII, and aldosterone.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
