The metabolic syndrome (MS) is a group of metabolic disorders, which increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2). Oxidative stress is one of the mechanisms involved in the association between MS and cardiovascular disease due to increased free fatty acids (FFA), triglycerides (TG) and leptin...

Estudios previos en homogenado de aorta de un modelo de síndrome metabólico (SM) inducido por alto consumo de sacarosa, mostraron marcadores de estrés oxidante aumentados, lo mismo que la actividad de la NADPH oxidasa. Además, en anillos de aorta aislados de animales con SM observó mayor constricción y menor relajación...
In the last decade it has been demonstrated that obesity entails adipose tissue immunophenotypic and systemic alterations, which are caused by the excessive and improper activation of the immune system. On that basis, a lowintensity chronic inflammatory process has been identified in the case of obesity as playing an important...
Acetylcholinesterase, butyrylcholinesterase and paraoxonase - 1 are glycoproteins that besides regulating the neuromuscular cholinergic system and detoxify the body its activities are risk factors associated with metabolic syndrome (MS). The objective was to evaluate the participation of nicotinamide (NAM) on the activity and glycosylation pattern of circulating esterases in a...
