METHODS: A cross-sectional study comparing two parallel groups, one a group overweight or obese (obesity group, n = 131) other control (control 114).

There were relationships between BMI 0.0001) triglycerides 0.05). relationship attenuated by adjustment for BMI, losing its statistical significance 0.10). CONCLUSIONS: increased as increased. majority individuals who not less 2 mg/L.
