Obesity is now the most common disease in the population of economically developed countries, where up to 25% of residents have a body weight that is more than 15% higher than normal [8]. An increase in the incidence rate of about 10% over 10 years is observed [33]. The causal relationship between obesity and arterial hypertension, coronary heart disease, and type II diabetes mellitus is well known [6, 10]. At the same time, the current state of the problem of prevention, therapy and control of relapse of obesity is far from perfect. And this is primarily due to the fact that we do not fully know the pathogenesis of this disease.
