Abstract:

Accumulation of visceral fat causes a lipotoxic effect on the hypothalamus. Hypothalamic inflammation closes a vicious circle, aggravating the disturbance of neuroendocrine mechanisms to regulate metabolic balance, including coordination of energy consumption (during basic metabolism, physical activity, thermogenesis) and proper feeding behavior, the study group included 62 individuals (women) with obesity. Each patient met the diagnostic criteria for idiopathic hypothalamic syndrome – the neuroendocrine form with obesity.The current study shows that obesity of hypothalamic origin is associated with a dyslipidemia that progresses simultaneously with the increase of the body mass index.
