The effect of increasing tertiles of waist circumference on cardio-metabolic risk, adipokines and biomarkers of inflammation and oxidative stress in nascent metabolic syndrome

The effect of waist circumference (WC) on cardio-metabolic features and biomarkers of oxidative stress and inflammation and adipose tissue dysregulation is poorly defined in Metabolic Syndrome (MetS). Hence the aim of this study was to examine the effect of increasing tertiles of WC on the cardio metabolic risk profile, pro-oxidant state, pro-inflammatory state and adipose tissue dysregulation in nascent MetS patients (n  = 59) without diabetes or CVD.
