Serum FGF21 and GDF15 as Indicators of Mitochondrial Stress and Their Association with Insulin Resistance and Oxidative Stress a Comparative Study in Adults Diagnosed with Metabolic Syndrome
Background: Metabolic syndrome is characterized by central adiposity, dyslipidemia, elevated blood pressure, and impaired glucose regulation, and is strongly linked to insulin resistance, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial perturbation. Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) and growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) a...
