Abstract
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) comprises pathological conditions that include insulin resistance, visceral obesity, arterial hypertension and dyslipidemia, which favors the development of cardiovascular diseases.Abdominal obesity and insulin resistance are the core features of MetS; however, inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, uric acid levels, and oxidative stress are thought to be associated with insulin resistance and MetS.
