Abstract
Metabolic diseases such as diabetes, obesity and dyslipidemia progress to atherosclerotic vascular diseases unless they are well controlled. Main risk factors of these diseases are life style of food intake and exercise, environment before and after birth and genetic background. One of an important environmental factor is physical or psychosocial stress. Stress response is dependent on each individual with different genetic background.
