Protein-Bound Plasma N ^ε -(Carboxymethyl)lysine Is Inversely Associated With Central Obesity and Inflammation and Significantly Explain a Part of the Central Obesity–Related Increase in Inflammation

Abstract

Obesity, in particular central obesity, is characterized by greater levels of LGI but by lower levels of circulating CML; the latter significantly explaining a portion of the positive association between central obesity and inflammation.
