Intestinal permeability parameters in obese patients are correlated with metabolic syndrome risk factors
TFS Teixeira, NCS Souza, PG Chiarello… - Clinical nutrition, 2012 - Elsevier
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Altered intestinal permeability has been shown to be associated
with metabolic alterations in animal models of obesity, but not in humans. The aim of this
study was to assess intestinal permeability in obese women and verify if there is any
association with anthropometric measurements, body composition or biochemical variables.
METHODS: Twenty lean and twenty obese females participated in the study. Anthropometric
measurements, body composition and blood pressure were assessed and biochemical …
