Endothelial vasoactive function in children and adolescents with obesity and metabolic syndrome

Endothelial vasoactive function was assessed in 66 children and adolescents aged 11-16 years, with obesity and metabolic syndrome (MS). Pathological result of rheovasography stress test was observed in 71,4% of MS children, pointing to endothelial dysfunction (ED) presence. In MS children, vasoconst...

Description
Summary:Endothelial vasoactive function was assessed in 66 children and adolescents aged 11-16 years, with obesity and metabolic syndrome (MS). Pathological result of rheovasography stress test was observed in 71,4% of MS children, pointing to endothelial dysfunction (ED) presence. In MS children, vasoconstriction was identified more often than in obese children -by 1, 77 times (p < 0,05). Therefore, there is a need for early ED correction in MS children.
