Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a rising disease entity characterized by a clustering of metabolic conditions. Although prevalence of obesity as defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) is relatively low in Asia compared to western countries, metabolic syndrome is growing into a significant public health problem. Comparative studies indicate that metabolic responses to obesity may be greater i...

BACKGROUND The metabolic syndrome (MS) is a complex of risk factors for cardiovascular disease. This syndrome increases the risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality. It has been demonstrated that the prevalence of MS is increasing worldwide. Despite the importance of MS in the context of metabolic and cardiovascular disease, few studies have described the prevalence of M...

objectives: the relation of metabolic syndrome components, insulin resistance and leptin has been studied in elderly women. methods & materials: in this cross sectional study, among 225 subjects≥60 year old who were residents of kahrizak charity foundation, 133 (56 men & 77 women) were selected by cluster random sampling. fasting serum tg, total cholesterol, hdl, and leptin levels were measured...

background the association between inflammatory markers and the combination of the smoking status plus a number of components of the metabolic syndrome was not fully evaluated in male japanese subjects. objectives to demonstrate the association between inflammatory markers and the number of components of the metabolic syndrome by considering smoking status. patients and methods a total of 3,017...

Intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR), the most important cause of perinatal mortality and morbidity, is defined as a foetal growth less than normal for the population, often used as synonym of small for gestational age (SGA). Studies demonstrated the relationships between metabolic syndrome (MS) and birthweight. This study suggested that, in children, adolescents, and adults born SGA, insulin...

Diabetology & Metabolic Syndrome (D&MS), the official journal of the Brazilian Diabetes Society (SBD), is a new open access, peer reviewed journal publishing research on all aspects of the pathophysiology of diabetes and metabolic syndrome. With the many ongoing and upcoming challenges for diabetes diagnosis, treatment and care, a dedicated journal providing unrestricted access for researchers ...

background: polycystic ovarian syndrome (pcos) is a condition associated with chronic anovulation, insulin resistance and androgen excess. women with this syndrome are at increased risk of metabolic syndrome. objective: the aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (mbs) in women with pcos referred to arash hospital in different ages and body mass index (bmi...

INTRODUCTION Early atherosclerotic changes in the endothelium associated with metabolic syndrome are generated with the participation of inflammatory cells, cytokines and enzymes of the extracellular matrix. The study is aimed at a comparison between the activity of inflammatory agents, tumour necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and the enzymes of the connective tissue matrix in the blood of healthy fema...

INTRODUCTION Metabolic syndrome (MS) comprises several metabolic disorders that are risk factors for cardiovascular disease and has its source connected to the accumulation of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and development of insulin resistance. Despite studies showing beneficial results of exercise on several risk factors for cardiovascular disease, studies evaluating the effects of different i...
