Dietary weight loss intervention improves subclinical atherosclerosis and oxidative stress markers in leukocytes of obese humans

The relationship between caloric restriction-mediated weight loss and the generation of ROS and its effects on atherosclerotic markers in obesity is not fully understood. Therefore, we set out to investigate whether dietary weight loss intervention improves markers of oxidative stress in leukocytes and subclinical parameters of atherosclerosis. This was an interventional study of 59 obese subjects (BMI > 35 kg/m2) who underwent 6 months of...
