Abstract
Obesity and hypertension are strongly associated, and neural dysfunction has been implicated in both. The hypothalamus integrates signals regulating blood pressure and energy homeostasis. A recent paper in Nature Medicine (Purkayastha et al., 2011) suggests that obesity and hypertension are caused by inflammation in distinct hypothalamic neuronal populations.
