Diet and inflammation: a link to metabolic and cardiovascular diseases.

abstract：:Increased sympathetic tone is found in about 30% of patients with hypertension. This abnormality is closely associated with the metabolic syndrome of dyslipidaemia and hyperinsulinaemia. In this short review we discuss the mechanisms by which sympathetic over-activity could cause the metabolic syndrome. Sympathetic st...
