Measurements of blood lipids and hormones (plasma renin, aldosterone, vasopressin, prolactin, atrial natriuretic peptide, 6-endorphine, thyrotropin, thyroid hormones) in two groups of patients suffering from obesity (group 1: 64 patients with arterial hypertension and group 2: 26 patients with normal arterial pressure) have brought the authors to a conclusion that arterial hypertension in young obese patients is an early manifestation of essential hypertension. Hormonal dysfunction in obese patients is conducive to early development of essential hypertension in cases when there is a hereditary predisposition to it.
