The relationship of visceral adiposity with endothelial functions and subclinical atherosclerosis in obese individuals
On the cardiovascular system, obesity accelerates atherosclerosis progression, inducing pathophysiological changes that are detectable already from young adults. Endothelial dysfunction is one of the earliest vascular alterations observed in obesity. In this study, we aimed to determine endothelial...

| Summary: | On the cardiovascular system, obesity accelerates atherosclerosis progression, inducing pathophysiological changes that are detectable already from young adults. Endothelial dysfunction is one of the earliest vascular alterations observed in obesity. In this study, we aimed to determine endothelial functions and carotid intima-media thickness in patients with obesity without overt cardiovascular disease. |
