Brain-Derived Neurotropic Factor, Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor and Matrix Metalloproteinases as Markers of Metabolic Status in Non-Growth Hormone-Treated Girls With Turner Syndrome

Brain-Derived Neurotropic Factor, Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor and Matrix Metalloproteinases as Markers of Metabolic Status in Non-Growth Hormone-Treated Girls With Turner Syndrome

BackgroundTurner syndrome (TS) presents a high risk of congenital heart defects and may predispose to both obesity and related metabolic complications. Hence the search for new markers as potential early predictors of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) and cardiovascular diseases appears warranted.Object...
