“…40 The present SGA subjects had statistically significantly higher HOMA-IR compared with the AGA subjects, indicating an insulin-resistant condition that is well known to induce acceleration of the systemic atherosclerotic process. 30 The present SGA subjects had reduced FMD. In our previous study such endothelial dysfunction in SGA patients was found to be related to a dysfunction in endothelial progenitor cells resulting in reduced proliferation and migration of such cells.…”

“…The study was performed using a highresolution ultrasonograph (Philips Sonos 5500) connected to an image analysis system, certified by the National Research Council of Pisa (MVE II), for computing the brachial artery diameter in real-time by analyzing B-mode ultrasound images. 30 All the ultrasound examinations were performed by the same physician in order to reduce observer bias. With the subject in a supine position for at least 10 min, the arm was positioned comfortably in order to identify the humeral artery.…”

“…Reducing these factors by therapeutic interventions would contribute to reduce the risk for developing later metabolic complications. [6]. Glucose intolerance and a positive family history of diabetes in obese young patients account for increased cardiovascular risks; even the characteristics of the mothers (weight, height, diabetes, smoking,…) and of birth (gestational age, length, head circumference, …) were shown to determine early alterations of the aorta in term neonates [7].…”

Background: Increased inflammatory cytokines, C-reactive protein (CRP) and prothrombotic parameters are potential markers of cardiovascular risks in childhood obesity. Objectives:We investigated whether a statin treatment can reverse these early cardiovascular risk indicators. The primary outcome was the effect of sixteen weeks of statins on the inflammatory cytokines, CRP and the pro-thrombotic state in obese adolescents. Methods:This randomized controlled double-blind study conducted at the University Hospital of Geneva included 28 obese adolescents aged 12-16 years. Subjects received either placebo (P) or atorvastatin (A) for sixteen weeks. Levels of monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1), interleukin-6, interferon-γ-inducible protein, interleukin-10, interleukin-1 receptor antagonist and CRP were measured at baseline, after sixteen weeks and after one year. Coagulation parameters were evaluated by prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, fibrinogen levels and endogenous thrombin potential (ETP) at each visit. Results:The MCP-1 level was stable in group A after sixteen weeks of treatment, while it tended to increase in group P (median evolution, 0.2 pg/mL in A vs 34.3 pg/mL in P). The ETP levels decreased in group A and increased in group P (median evolution, -7.0 mA in A vs 12.9 mA in P). These differences of the evolution were not statistically different (MCP-1 p= 0.09, ETP p= 0.07), but after adjustment for age and BMI the ETP evolution reached significance (ETP adjusted, p=0.01). The baseline fibrinogen levels were already high in both groups (median 3.6 g/L, norm < 3.0). No prolonged effects were detected after one year. Conclusions: Increased levels of fibrinogen are already observed in obese adolescents reflecting the procoagluant risk. ETP decreased significantly with atorvastatin treatment in comparison to the non-treated group. Atorvastatin did however not decrease inflammation parameters.
