Abstract
Obesity is a multifactorial disease in which oxidative stress and inflammation play important roles. The aim of our study was to evaluate oxidative stress levels and inflammation markers in obese subjects vs. controls and to investigate the relationship between these values. We found increased levels of reactive oxygen species and inflammation markers (fibrinogen, ferritin, CRP, NLR) and decreased levels of antioxidants in obese subjects vs. controls.
