Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the link between insulin resistance, vascular health, and cardiovascular risk in children and adolescents, focusing on the HOMA index and its impact on endothelial function.
- A sample of 150 youths was assessed using various measures, including BMI, waist circumference, lipid levels, and ultrasound parameters to evaluate blood vessel health.
- Results showed that as HOMA index increased, endothelial function decreased, indicating that insulin resistance worsens vascular health even in younger populations.
Background: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been reported to play a significant role in the pathogenesis of sepsis and liver dysfunction. In particular, neonates are at risk for sepsis and have less protection against oxidation. Melatonin has been reported to reduce the oxidative stress status in neonates with sepsis.
