Liver fibrosis and markers of endothelial function at metabolic syndrome and early disorders of carbohydrate metabolism by L. V. Chesnokova, I. M. Petrov, Ye. A. Sidorova, I. A. Troshina, Yu. A. Petrova

“…Along with increase of fibrosis stage progressive elevation of TNF-α (p=0,0265), IL-6 (p=0,0012) and endothelin-1 (p=0,0137) contents on background of decrease of adiponectin concentration (p=0,0026) and gain of humeral artery diameter after compression (p=0,005) was marked.Conclusions. Presence and severity of liver fibrosis at MS in combination to early disorders of carbohydrate metabolism are related to increase of proinflammatory cytokines, endothelin-1 concentration on a background of reduction of adiponectin contents and decrease of endothelium vasodilation capacity.…”
