]]> 2015-04-20 12:56:22 UTC https://padlet.com/dahl1/f2y0jje2rspg/wish/57464675 Hypertension - High blood pressure https://padlet.com/dahl1/f2y0jje2rspg/wish/57464715 - Increased force of the blood against artery walls

- Blood pressure is determined by the amount of blood the heart pumps and the amount of resistance to

blood flow in the atery walls (Too high in the case of hypertension)

- Can lead to coronary heart disease, heart failure, stroke, kidney failure

The pancreas starts to release more insulin in the bloodstream in order to compensate and that is how the pancreas wears out. Then the excess glucose in the blood is converted into fat, which can lead to weight gain https://padlet.com/dahl1/f2y0jje2rspg/wish/57465177 2015-04-20 12:58:47 UTC https://padlet.com/dahl1/f2y0jje2rspg/wish/57465177 Dyslipidaemia https://padlet.com/dahl1/f2y0jje2rspg/wish/57465215 It is a condition of abnormal levels of cholesterol.
- high level of LDL and low level of HDL

]]> 2015-04-20 12:59:45 UTC https://padlet.com/dahl1/f2y0jje2rspg/wish/57465347 Insulin resistance is when the body can not properly use insulin (the cells don't respond to the insulin) to transport the glucose into cells to convert it to energy, so the pancreas try to produce more insulin. With time the beta cells in the pancreas can get worn out because of this, leading to type 2 diabetes. Insulin is the fat storage hormone so more insulin in the bloodstream converts glucose into fat instead of using it as energy.  https://padlet.com/dahl1/f2y0jje2rspg/wish/57466796 2015-04-20 13:07:29 UTC https://padlet.com/dahl1/f2y0jje2rspg/wish/57466796
