background: metabolically obese normal-weight (monw) children and adolescents are characterized by body mass index (bmi) lower than +1sd with metabolic disorders such as hyperglycemia, hypertriglyceridemia, and/or hypertension. this study wants to determine prevalence of monw, metabolically benign normal weight (mbnw), metabolically abnormality obese (mao) and compare the components of metaboli...

results: this study showed significantly lowered concentrations of testosterone (3.11 nm/l ± 0.34) and hdl (0.39 mmol/l ± 0.02), in addition to the expected increased concentrations of fasting plasma glucose (9.61 mmol/l ± 0.37) in the subjects compared to controls (p < 0.05). an inverse significant correlation was observed between the serum testosterone concentration and metabolic syndrome (bm...

conclusions we showed that patients with metabolic syndrome have larger infarct size compared to control subjects. background infarct size is an important surrogate end point for early and late mortality after acute myocardial infarction. despite the high prevalence of metabolic syndrome in patients with atherosclerotic diseases, adequate data are still lacking regarding the extent of myocardia...
