The molecular mechanisms of obesity paradox.

Cardiovascular research - 1 Jul 2017

Antonopoulos Alexios S, Tousoulis Dimitris

Abstract excerpt

Clinical observations suggest a complex relationship between human obesity and cardiovascular disease. Whilst abdominal (visceral) adiposity leads to deleterious metabolic disturbances, subcutaneous fat accumulation has a benign effect on cardiometabolic risk. Notably, an accumulating body of evidence paradoxically links increased body mass index with a better prognosis in patients with established cardiovascular...
