Percutaneous cutting balloon angioplasty for the treatment of renovascular hypertension in children and adolescents (original) (raw)

Dietary and circulating fatty acids (FA) and desaturases activity, involved in FA metabolism, are associated with metabolic and cardiovascular disorders. In particular, a lower delta-5 desaturase activity (D5D) in contrast to a higher delta-6 desaturase (D6D) and stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD-16; the enzyme that metabolizes palmitic (PA) to palmitoleic acid (PtA)) activities were related to obesity and metabolic disorders. Design and method: FA profile was determined on whole blood drop in 244 children (50.2 % females; mean age 8.6 ± 0.72 years) participating in a schoolbased cross-sectional study. The possible associations between individual FA and desaturases activity (evaluated as product:precursor ratios) with indices of adiposity and blood pressure (BP) was investigated.
