Given that epidemiological data suggest that we are in \u0430 growing metabolic syndrome pandemic, we aim to reduce the health and social burden of MS. In accordance with this our aims are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>To conduct a complex cross-sectional evaluation of patients with metabolic syndrome with regard to genetic variations, body composition and muscle strength, metabolic disturbances (obesity, carbohydrate disturbances, hypertension, dyslipidemia), micro- and macrovascular complications (neuropathy, retinopathy, nephropathy and atherosclerotic changes)<\/li>\n<li>To create a Database, Biobank and Genetic bank with detailed information and materials for future evaluation<\/li>\n<li>To evaluate the link between the complications of metabolic syndrome and certain biochemical and genetic characteristics of the patients. This will allow for identification of novel biomarkers and genetic markers for increased metabolic and cardiovascular risk and for more individualized approach to patients with metabolic syndrome in terms of risk evaluation and complications prevention<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c5d4ad0\" data-id=\"c5d4ad0\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RESEARCH UNIVERSITY research group Metabolic syndrome and its complications Main research area of the group Internal Medicine, Endocrinology, Reproductive Medicine Complex and personalized scientific, preventive and therapeutic approach to metabolic syndrome and its complications, as a medical issue with the growing importance of social impact.
