[Adaptive systems of the body in metabolic syndrome]
Abstract:
The aim of the work was to study the state of adaptive systems in patients with metabolic syndrome. This cross-sectional randomized trial included 99 women and 32 men. The measured variables were blood levels of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DGEAS), cortisol, total T3 and T4, lymphocyte count, and muscle endurance (number of squats/min). 43 patients presented with metabolic syndrome (MS) and 88 without it. MS was associated with decreased blood DGEAS and T3 levels, increased lymphocyte count, reduced activity of sympathetic nervous system and muscle endurance.
