Abstract
Abstract
Background: Childhood obesity is a condition characterized by the excessive accumulation and storage of fat in the body which negatively affects a child's health. It predisposes to insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, liver, renal and cardiovascular diseases. Obese youth are more likely to have risk factors such as high cholesterol and blood pressure. Aim: To assess the serum MPO levels in obese pre-pubertal children and obese pubertal adolescents and to seek for the correlation between MPO serum level with lipid profile, insulin resistance and criteria of metabolic syndrome.
