Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Obesity in adolescents has quadrupled in the past 30 y. Markers for cardiovascular risks are needed in this population. We hypothesized that soluble receptor for advanced glycation end products (sRAGE) and asymmetric dimethyl arginine (ADMA) can correlate with carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT), a known index of subclinical atherosclerosis. We also aimed to evaluate the frequency of (Gly82Ser) RAGE...
