Abstract

Aim. Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a disorder consisting of various abnormalities such as dyslipidemia, obesity, hypertension and hyperglycemia. Over the past two decades, the prevalence of MS has greatly increased, and it has become a global health problem. We measured and compared plasma concentrations of adiponectin, orexin-A, ghrelin and the antioxidant paraoxonase-1 (PON1) between patients with metabolic syndrome (MS) and healthy controls.
