Angiogenesis in the Metabolic Syndrome

  • Chapter

Abstract

Angiogenesis is crucial both in physiological and in pathological conditions. Evidence has been gathered regarding the involvement of angiogenesis in metabolic syndrome-associated disorders, including visceral obesity, dyslipidaemias, atherosclerosis and diabetes. Indeed, metabolic syndrome is characterized by several features that actually modulate angiogenesis such as hypoxia, inflammation, oxidative stress, hormone imbalance or hyperglycaemia. In addition, abnormal expression of angiogenic factors within disorders clustered in the so-called metabolic syndrome, have also been reported. Conversely, the vascular defects broadly observed in metabolic syndrome can be attributed to angiogenic imbalance. In the past years, efforts have been made to develop therapeutic strategies targeting angiogenesis, mostly in oncology. However, recent lines of evidence indicate that angiogenesis is required for many disorders of distinct etiopathogenic origin, namely the ones associated with metabolic syndrome. Taking into account the increasing incidence of this syndrome worldwide, as well as the absence of effective therapeutic strategies, elucidating the angiogenic pathways that play a role in these disorders may be of great interest in order to design novel therapeutic approaches against this major public health challenge.
