Several studies have shown that humoral markers of inflammation and endothelial
dysfunction are predictive of macrovascular events, and correlated with indirect measures of
adiposity and insulin action, thus providing a possible link between obesity, insulin
resistance and atherosclerosis. We examined the relationship between humoral markers of
inflammation and endothelial dysfunction and direct measures of adiposity and insulin
action in Pima Indians, a population with a very high prevalence of obesity and insulin …
