Physiology, 2007•journals.physiology.orgObesity is an important risk factor for insulin resistance and hypertension and plays a central
role in the metabolic syndrome. Insight into the pathophysiology of this syndrome may lead
to new treatments. This paper has reviewed the evidence for an important role for the
microcirculation as a possible link between obesity, insulin resistance and hypertension.
