Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the increased carotid artery pulsatility index(PI) and resistance index (RI) in young obese males by Doppler ultrasound.Methods All of the volunteers without local and systemic disease included 48 young obese males (observation group) and 100 healthy males with the same age(control group).Common carotid artery had to come into practice in all of the volunteer by pulsed Doppler ultrasound to calculate the PI and R[.Results The average of RI,PI,body mass index (BMI),systolic pressure,diastolic pressure,fasting plasma insulin,fasting C-peptide,triglyceride,low density lipoprotein cholesterol and high sensitivity C reactive protein in observation group were significantly higher than those in control group [0.70 ± 0.10 vs.0.60 + 0.10,1.48±0.30 vs.1.00 ± 0.10,(36.6 ± 3.4) kg/m2 vs.(23.6 ± 1.6) kg/m2,(127.5 ± 14.3) mm Hg(1 mm Hg =0.133 kPa) vs.(110.5 ± 11.0) mm Hg,(78.8 ±9.8) mm Hgvs.(69.9 ±7.6) mm Hg,(27.5 ± 19.6) mU/L vs.(8.8 +8.8) mU/L,(3.7 ± 1.6) pmol/L vs.(1.8 ± 1.2)pmol/L,(3.9 ± 2.0) mmol/L vs.(2.1 ± 1.3) mmol/L,(3.1 ± 0.7) mmol/L vs.(2.3 ± 0.7) mmol/L,(4.0 ± 4.4)mg/L vs.(1.3 ± 1.2) mg/L,P ＜ 0.05].Conclusions The characteristic of vascular properties in young obese males with normal blood pressure and without other cardiac risk factor is the decrease of blood wall compliance and the increase of resistance.The change of artery in the incipient properties in young obese males is the vascular function.Further studies will be required to prove thai whether early intervention will improve vascular function such as diet and practice.
