Implications of diet modification on sympathoinhibitory mechanisms and hypertension in obesity.

Abstract excerpt

We have previously demonstrated that a number of rats fed a moderately high-fat diet (MHFD) become obese and hypertensive and had compromised sympathoinhibitory and vasodilator responses to the gut hormones cholecystokinin (CCK) and gastric leptin. This has implications for increased resistance in vascular beds that attract a large proportion of cardiac output after a meal and may be an important mechanism...
