Clinical and Biochemical Parameters in Relation to Serum Fetuin-A Levels in Overweight and Obese with and without Metabolic Syndrome in the North-eastern States of Indian Population.

Introduction: In India the prevalence of metabolic syndrome has dramatically increased. Hepatokines have gained considerable interest, and the role of fetuin-A in overweight and obesity incompletely understood. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the role of serum fetuin-A in overweight and obese adults with and without metabolic syndrome in the northeastern Indian population.

Serum E-selectin levels in Indian children and adolescents: relation to clinical and biochemical parameters.

Background: An adverse pattern of blood lipids and atherosclerosis begin in childhood. Unfortunately, data for children and adolescents, particularly those in the Indian population, are scarce. The present study aims to evaluate the levels of serum E-selectin in Indian children and adolescents and its correlation with anthropometric and biochemical parameters.
