Background: In adults, insulin resistance is associated with vascular damage and progressive loss of the endothelial protective functions. Additionally, it further complicates the micro- and macro- vascular environment through increasing oxidative stress and inflammation.Aim: The purpose of this study was to evaluate how apoptosis and antioxidant markers are correlated with biochemical markers in children, during the glucose tolerance te...
