Significant increases were observed in blood pressure, HOMA-IR, leptin, triglycerides, insulin, intra-abdominal fat, and number of fat cells per field (<i>p</i> = 0.001) and in advanced glycosylation products, adipocyte area, LPL, HSL activities and/or expression (<i>p</i> ≤ 0.01) in the MS groups progressively from the third month onward.
Adipose triglyceride lipase and hormone-sensitive lipase protein expression in subcutaneous adipose tissue is decreased after an isoenergetic low-fat high-complex carbohydrate diet in the metabolic syndrome.
