Aim: Cardiovascular morbidity and mortality of obesity is associated with classic risk factors, namely dyslipidaemia, hypertension and impaired glucose metabolism. Aim of this study is to evaluate inflammation as an independent risk factor by using neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR).Materials and methods: Patients who admitted to our outpatient clinic between January and December 2014 were assessed retrospectively. Patients diagnosed as diabetes, predi...

Objective: Thiols are organic compounds that contain sulphydryl group (-SH) and have important role in preventing oxidative stress especially in cells. The aim of our study is to investigate the relationship between hypothyroidism due to HT and the thiol disulfide homeostasis, the effect of treatment on this homeostasis and to demonstrate the utility of thiol/disulphide homestasis as a marker for assessing the damage to functional group of proteins and the oxidative balance in...

Introduction: Several studies have shown that prediabetic patients had increased concentrations of inflammatory markers and this association is independent of underlying obesity. Netrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is considered as a new inflammatory marker and has been studied extensively in a variety of clinical conditions especially in solid tumours and cardiovascular diseases. Studies evaluating the subclinical inflammation in prediabetes revealed positive association of s...
