Overview

The hypothalamus represents a key structure involved in maintenance of homeostasis. Several factors, such as long-term increases in plasma levels of saturated fatty acids or pro-inflammatory cytokines, can induce hypothalamic inflammation. Hypothalamic inflammation disrupts homeostatic regulations and may contribute to the development of somatic diseases or may have a negative effect on the course of already existing somatic diseases. Hypothalamic inflammation plays a role in the etiopathogenesis of obesity, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and cachexia. Understanding the causes and mechanisms involved in the development of hypothalamic inflammation allows for a more comprehensive view of the etiopathogenesis of somatic diseases and thus creates a basis for the introduction of new approaches in their treatment.

Keywords:
