Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between endothelin-1, nitric oxide, insulin resistance, and blood pressure in young subjects with a high prevalence of excess weight and/or elevated blood pressure. In a cohort of 238 children (mean age = 11.1 years), height, weight, waist circumference, and blood pressure were assessed. Body mass index, waist-to-height ratio, and blood pressure percentiles were calculated, and the...
