The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of weight loss on blood pressure and its related variables in moderately obese Japanese females, including an investigation of the rebound phenomenon. Study I examined the effects of weight loss on blood pressure in 138 moderately obese, nondiabetic females (BMI 29.3+/-0.3 kg/M2; age, 46.3+/-0.8 years) during a 3-month therapeutic dietary and exercise program. Study II investigated the effect of weight rebound on blood pressure over an additional 21 months of exercise in 48 subjects from Study I subjects. After 3 months, the BMI significantly decreased to 27.9+/-0.3 kg/m2. Abdominal total fat, visceral fat (V), and subcutaneous fat (S) also decreased significantly. In addition, the summation of insulin (sigmaIRI), plasma glucose (sigmaPG) and HOMA during 75 g oral glucose tolerance test also all significantly decreased. Significant decreases in both the SBP and DBP were observed after the 3 month weight reduction program. Multiple regression analysis revealed that the reduction in SBP was significantly and positively associated with the reduction in log sigmaIRI and the reduction in log 24h-urinary norepinephrine excretion at the end of Study I. The DBP showed a significantly positive association with the log sigmaIRI. With regard to the weight rebound phenomenon, Study II showed that the SBP, DBP and sigmaIRI all increased significantly, and a positive correlation was observed between the changes in the SBP and those in the log sigmaIRI. However, no such correlation was observed regarding the abdominal total fat and visceral fat during both periods. These results suggest that weight loss therefore caused the BP to decrease due to both an improvement in hyperinsulinemia and a decrease in the adrenergic activity which may be involved in the urinary catecholamine. As a result, hyperinsulinemia is thus considered to play an important role in the pathogenesis of blood pressure due to obesity not only during weight loss, but also during the weight rebound phenomenon.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

D007333 Insulin Resistance Diminished effectiveness of INSULIN in lowering blood sugar levels: requiring the use of 200 units or more of insulin per day to prevent HYPERGLYCEMIA or KETOSIS. Insulin Sensitivity,Resistance, Insulin,Sensitivity, Insulin
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D009638 Norepinephrine Precursor of epinephrine that is secreted by the ADRENAL MEDULLA and is a widespread central and autonomic neurotransmitter. Norepinephrine is the principal transmitter of most postganglionic sympathetic fibers, and of the diffuse projection system in the brain that arises from the LOCUS CERULEUS. It is also found in plants and is used pharmacologically as a sympathomimetic.

D009765 Obesity A status with BODY WEIGHT that is grossly above the recommended standards, usually due to accumulation of excess FATS in the body. The standards may vary with age, sex, genetic or cultural background. In the BODY MASS INDEX, a BMI greater than 30.0 kg/m2 is considered obese, and a BMI greater than 40.0 kg/m2 is considered morbidly obese (MORBID OBESITY).
D012044 Regression Analysis Procedures for finding the mathematical function which best describes the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. In linear regression (see LINEAR MODELS) the relationship is constrained to be a straight line and LEAST-SQUARES ANALYSIS is used to determine the best fit. In logistic regression (see LOGISTIC MODELS) the dependent variable is qualitative rather than continuously variable and LIKELIHOOD FUNCTIONS are used to find the best relationship. In multiple regression, the dependent variable is considered to depend on more than a single independent variable.
