Soluble receptor for advanced glycation end products and lipid profile ratio as cardiovascular risk markers in children with obesity.

Introduction: Obesity has been shown to be associated with low levels of soluble receptor for advanced glycation end products (sRAGE).

Objective: To evaluate the levels of sRAGE and its association with the lipid index in children with obesity.

Methods: Cross-sectional study of children with obesity aged between six and 11 years.

Effects of L-Citrulline Supplementation and Aerobic Training on Vascular Function in Individuals with Obesity across the Lifespan.

Children with obesity are at higher risk for developing cardiometabolic diseases that once were considered health conditions of adults. Obesity is commonly associated with cardiometabolic risk factors such as dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia and hypertension that contribute to the development of endothelial dysfunction. Endothelial dysfunction, characterized by reduced nitric oxide (NO) production, precedes vascular abnormalities including atherosclerosis and arterial stiffness.

INSULIN-LIKE GROWTH FACTOR BINDING PROTEIN-1, NON-ALCOHOLIC FATTY LIVER DISEASE, AND ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH FRUCTOSE CONSUMPTION IN CHILDREN WITH OBESITY.

Background: Over consumption of added sugar is associated with obesity, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and insulin resistance (IR).

Objective: The objective of the study was to study the insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1 (IGFBP-1) and NAFLD and their relationship with fructose consumption in children with obesity.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out in children 6-11 years old with obesity.
