- Abstract
The article discusses a study on preatherosclerosis and adiponectin subfractions in obese juveniles and adolescents. The researchers evaluated total adiponectin, high-molecular weight (HMW), medium-molecular weight (MMW), low-molecular weight (LMW) adiponectin subfractions, inflammatory biomarkers and intima-media thickness of common carotid arteries, among others. The findings confirm the association between preatherosclerosis in obese juveniles and adolescents and altered subfractions of adiponectin.
