Working in Shifts and the Metabolic Syndrome: Epidemiological Evidence and Physiopathological Mechanisms

The Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is considered as an association of the abdominal obesity, abnormal metabolism of the lipids and glucose (high level of triglycerides, low level of HDL-cholesterol and high level of glycemia) and high values of blood pressure, determined by an underlying mechanism of ins...
