Management of Hypertension in the Obese Pregnant Patient.

abstract：:The obesity gene product leptin plays an important role in the physiologic regulation of appetite and energy balance. Plasma leptin levels correlate closely with body fat storage and may respond to changes in energy expenditure. Recent evidence has implicated a direct cardiac regulatory action of leptin in addition to...
