Abstract

Low vitamin D status and oxidative/nitrosative stress have been recognized as risk factor for chronic diseases such as metabolic syndrome (MetS). The objective of this study was to evaluate the metabolic and oxidative/nitrosative markers for association with hypovitaminoses D in Brazilian women with MetS. The following included 88 women with MetS and evaluated metabolic biomarkers (total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol and triglycerides, uric acid, plasma glucose, insulin), and oxidative/nitrosative stress biomarkers (hidroperoxides-CL-LOOH, carbonyl protein, nitric oxide metabolites-NOx, sulfhydryl groups-SH of proteins, total radical-trapping antioxidant parameter-TRAP, total serum activity of PON1).
