    Progenitor Endothelial Cell Dysfunction in Obese Patients: Possibilities for Cardiovascular Risk Prediction
    Author(s): Alexander E BerezinAlexander E Berezin

    Obesity is recognized a leading factor contributing in diabetes and cardiovascular (CV) disease development worldwide. Among obese individuals at least two phenotypes are determined, i.e. metabolically healthy obese and metabolically non-healthy obese. Subjects with one or other phenotype appear to be distinguished in CV risk and diabetes. Although lack of strong definition of metabolically healthy obese as a transient age- and ethnic-related phenotype accompanied to some behavioral and environmental factors, the role of co-existing metabolic abnormalities in translation of metabolically healthy obese to metabolically non-healthy obese is under debates. Outgrowth endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) have protective abilities to vasculature and they are posed as a central key of endogenous repair system. In this context, weak functionality and reduced number of circulat.. View More»
