Abstract

Obesity is a medical issue that is affecting an ever greater population worldwide. Also, obesity has a strong association with several metabolic disorders such as the type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, which affect over 50% of an adult population (Wellen, Hotamisligil et al. 2003). Previous studies have shown that obesity facilitates the development of chronic diseases such as inflammation-based pathologies, stroke, osteoarthritis, cancer, hypertension, sleep apnoea, and arthritis (Hotamisligil 2003, Parul Singla 2010, Marta González-Castejón 2011). Importantly, the amount of cases of clinical obesity is constantly increasing, and in 2014 more than half a billion people are considered obese (WHO 2015). Therefore, it is paramount to find a solution for this problem and currently, one of the interesting avenues to combat obesity has been through angiogenesis.
