The purpose of this study was to evaluate the levels of C3 in the subjects of normal weight obese (hereafter NWO) as well as their possible relationships with metabolic syndrome and inflammation. Methods In this case-control study, 40 obese women with normal weight (body mass index (BMI) = 18.5–24.9 kg/m2) and body fat percentage above 30% (fat mass (FM) > 30%) and 30 non-obese women (BMI = 18.5–24.9 kg/m2) and fat percentage less than 25% (FM
