Resumen en inglés The metabolic dysfunctions and diseases clustered under the Metabolic Syndrome (MS) definition are all progressive and lead to increases morbidity and mortality due to cardiovascular causes. Endothelial dysfunction is an important feature of metabolic syndrome. Endothelium is a complex endocrine organ able to produce a large quantity of substances such as Endothelin-1 a powerful vasoconstrictor and Nitric Oxide (NO) a vasodilator related to oxidative stress. The aim of this study was to evaluate cardiovascular risk markers in subjects with metabolic syndrome and compare against a control group. Material and Methods: We set in 9 groups with normal laboratory values and without metabolic syndrome diagnosis (control group) and performed a complete clinical evaluation including anthropometry measurements and cholesterol, tryacilglycerides, C-HDL, C-LDL, glucose (INVELAB), insulin, endothelin-1 and NO (Commercial Cayman and Calbiochem ELISA kit). Results: lower NO levels where observed in MS subjects compared to control leading to vasoconstriction, vascular wall abnormalities and hypertension in addition to resistance to insulin, overweight and dyslipidaemia may lead to increased endothelial dysfunction and cardiovascular disease in this patients. In the metabolic syndrome (MS) the pathologies alteration progresses in the time, towards a high morbidity and cardiovascular mortality. The endothelial dysfunction is a characteristic of the MS. Endothelium, is a complex structure that acts in the vascular remodeling and the liberation of active substances, such as Endotelina-1, a powerful vasoconstrictor and Nítric Oxide (NO), vasodilator associated to the oxidative presence of stress. The objective of this work was to evaluate the cardiovascular risk and endothelian markers in subjects with metabolic syndrome (n=9) compared to the control group (n=9). The subjects were evaluated by anthropometric..
