Abstract:Background
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) consists of risk factors (abdominal obesity, hypertriglyceridemia, low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL–C), hypertension, hyperglycemia) for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. Here, we aim to identify candidate metabolite biomarkers of MetS and its risk factors to better understand the complex interplay of underlying signaling pathways.
Methods
We quantified serum samples of the KORA F4 study participants (N = 2,815) and analyzed 121 metabolites. Using m… Show more
