Description

Obesity is a risk factor for many chronic metabolic diseases including heart failure and chronic kidney disease.  A tight association between increased deposition of extracellular matrix components (e.g. collagens and hyaluronan), insulin resistance and obesity-associated cardiac and renal dysfunction. However, whether targeting these early extracellular matrix abnormalities and subsequent activation of extracellular matrix receptors is effective in preventing detrimental progression of tissue dysfunction and diseases in obesity is unknown.
