Abstract | BACKGROUND: METHODS: RESULTS: CONCLUSIONS: High levels of free radicals together with low antioxidant capacity detected in obese adults indicate elevated oxidative stress, which is--together with systemic inflammation--further potentiated in the case of obese patients with metabolic syndrome. This imbalance in oxidative/antioxidative status and subclinical inflammatory state leads to higher risk of atherosclerotic and diabetic complications.
