Abstract

The occurrence of metabolic syndrome is a risk factor for developing cardiovascular disease. Moreover, the size oflow-density lipoprotein (LDL) particles, and liver dysfunction identified as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) both represent important biomarkers for the development of cardiometabolic risk in patients with metabolic syndrome.

This effect is accompanied in ultrasonography examination by significant reduction NAFLD.
