Metabolic syndrome, the complex of conditions that put humans
to risk for coronary heart disease and type-2 diabetes, is increasingly common
in Western countries. In North America, it is estimated that over 50 million
American people or 20% of the US population are affected.
In addition, the numbers of cases are also increasing in
Europe.Obesity is a strong factor involved in metabolic syndrome, and some
researchers claim metabolic syndrome is in itself closely linked to the metabolic
derangement called insulin resistance in humans.
Early signals of emerging obesity might be found in the
blood, which functions as the body’s transport medium by carrying nutrients,
lipids and waste products between cells.
