Background and aims: The aim was to analyze insulin resistance (IR), glycoregulation disorders, lipid status, C-reactive protein (CRP), plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI-1) and antioxidant defense in children and adolescents with pre-metabolic (Pre-MS) and metabolic (MS) syndromes.Material and methods: The study included 30 obese individuals (age 10–20 years, body mass index (BMI) or waist circumference (WC) ≥90 percentile). Three of the fo...

Aim: The aim of the study was to examine the existence of cardiovascular diseases (CVD), atherosclerotic factors and antioxidant defense in patients with central retinal artery and central retinal vein occlusions (CRAO, CRVO) and anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION).Materials and Methods: The study included 38 obese individuals with CRAO, CRVO and AION. Glycoregulation disorders were determined by OGTT. Lipid status was determined by spectrophotomet...

Background and Aims: Early glycoregulation disorders, impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) are associated with metabolic syndrome (MS). The aim of this study is: (a) to analyze parameters of insulin sensitivity, glycoregulation, lipid status, microalbuminuria (MI) and homocysteine (HCY) in patients with obesity (I), IFG (II), IGT (III) and newly diagnosed DM type 2 (IV) patients; (b) to determine the percentage of metabolic syndrome at these pati...
