Researchers discover new, treatable pathway known to cause hypertension in obese people

There's no question that as body weight increases, so too does blood pressure.

Blocking one of these molecules -- a signaling channel that's found in a tiny organ on the side of your neck -- effectively lowers blood pressure in obese mice.
