It is known that the incidence of cardiovascular disease in the population has a certain gender characteristics. For example, mortality from cardiovascular diseases among men is 1.6-2.0 times higher than among women. Concomitant obesity adversely affects the course and prognosis of the disease also. According to recent investigations, nesfatin-1 plays an important role in the pathogenesis of metabolic disorders. Besides hypothalamus and adipose tissue, its secretion is also found in the tissues of other organs, particularly gonads, and due to some studies it may depend on the level of some sex hormones.
