Article Abstract

Objective: We evaluated the levels of ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) and its association with body mass index (BMI) in patients who are obese.

Design And Methods: Fasting glucose, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, malondialdehyde, and IMA levels were assessed in 148 subjects.

Results: IMA, malondialdehyde, and fasting glucose levels were significantly higher while the HDL cholesterol levels were lower in obese population.

Conclusions: IMA levels increase in overweight and obese subjects.
