Abstract

Obesity is the complex and multifactorial disease that develops with influence of genetic, physiological, socio-economic and environmental factors. This disearse could increase the risk of comorbidities and mortality. Economic growth, automation of many technical processes and urbanization are the reasons of the sedentary lifestyle over the past 30 years, which has led to the widespreading of obesity among the population in 2 or even 4 times. In general, obesity is associated with excessive growth of adipose tissue, the development of which depends on cellular processes related to the population of cells such as adipocytes and their precursors. However, the accumulation of fat mass causes dysfunction of other tissues, which leads to a number of pathological processes. Our study was focused on the enzymatic activity of liver, kidney, and muscle tissue in obese rats. We have determined the changes the enzymatic activity matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) such as MMP-7 and MMP-9 in the experimental tissues. We found the manifestation of the enzymatic activity of MMP-7 in tissues of rats suffered with obesity, while in the healthy rats is not observed such the process. We suggest that this is due to the development of tissue fibrosis. An addition, we also recorded an increase in the enzymatic activity of MMP-9 in muscle tissue rats suffered with obesity. Probably, it links with the regenerative process in the experimental tissue. Further researches of the activity of matrix metalloproteinases in different tissues must provide knowledge about the biochemical processes during obesity which help to create the several right medicines and the development of new methods / approaches to the diagnostic and treatment of this pathology.
