The increasing incidence of metabolic diseases such as obesity or diabetes made them a major public health problem. Increasing oxidative stress induced by reactive oxygen species, which initiate the oxidative adverse changes in the cell, is mentioned, among other risk factors, to underlie these diseases. Vitamin A, C and E are listed among non-enzymatic mechanisms counteracting this phenomenon. Vitamin D deficiency is also associated with cardiovascular diseases.
Objectives: The aim of the study was to assess the risk of vitamin A, C, E and D deficit in plasma of metabolic syndrome (MS) patients.
Material and methods: The study included 191 patients with MS and 98 subjects without MS. Log-linear analysis was used in the assessment of mutual interactions between the vitamin concentration and the analysis of classification by ROC curves to.. View More»
