| Popis: | Mounting evidence supports the central role of oxidative stress and inflammation in obesity and the development of hypertension. However, most studies focusing on the non-enzymatic antioxidants, such as uric acid and bilirubin, and their relationship with obesity and hypertension were done in older populations with overt cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study was therefore to compare measures of cardiovascular function (blood pressure and arterial stiffness) and non-enzymatic antioxidants (uric acid and bilirubin) between young healthy lean and overweight/obese men and women and to investigate the link between these variables. We grouped 967 men and women (aged 20–30 years) according to body mass index (BMI) categories (lean BMI |
