Investigation of ischemia modified albumin and coenzyme Q10 levels in obese children with metabolic syndrome.

The article discusses a study which assessed the serum ischemia modified albumin (IMA) and plasma CoQ10 levels in obese children with metabolic syndrome. Topics covered include the correlation between insulin resistance and lipid profile in obese children with and without metabolic syndrome (MS), and the possibility that obese children have oxidative damage, lipid peroxidation and cardiometabolic risk.
