Key result
Obese subjects had increased levels of reactive oxygen species and inflammation markers (fibrinogen, ferritin, CRP, NLR) and decreased levels of antioxidants compared to controls.
Why the study?
Obesity is a multifactorial disease in which oxidative stress and inflammation play important roles, but their levels and relationship needed further evaluation.
Do obese subjects have higher levels of oxidative stress and inflammation markers compared to controls?
Case-Control
Do obese subjects have higher levels of oxidative stress and inflammation markers compared to controls?
Obese subjects exhibit higher levels of oxidative stress and inflammation markers compared to controls.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Obesity associated with higher oxidative stress and inflammation; hypothesis-generating, requires prospective confirmation before clinical implications.
Obesity is a multifactorial disease in which oxidative stress and inflammation play important roles. The aim of our study was to evaluate oxidative stress levels and inflammation markers in obese subjects vs. controls and to investigate the relationship between these values. We found increased levels of reactive oxygen species and inflammation markers (fibrinogen, ferritin, CRP, NLR) and decreased levels of antioxidants in obese subjects vs. controls.

Epîngeac et al. (2020) conducted a case-control in Obesity. Obesity vs. Controls was evaluated on Oxidative stress levels and inflammation markers (fibrinogen, ferritin, CRP, NLR). Obese subjects had increased levels of reactive oxygen species and inflammation markers (fibrinogen, ferritin, CRP, NLR) and decreased levels of antioxidants compared to controls.
