Deciphering Biochemical and Molecular Signatures Associated with Obesity in Context of Metabolic Health.

ABSTRACT: This study aims to identify the clinical and genetic markers related to the two uncommon nutritional statuses-metabolically unhealthy normal-weight (MUNW) and metabolically healthy overweight/obese (MHOW) individuals in the physically active individuals. Physically active male volunteers (n = 120) were recruited, and plasma samples were analyzed for the clinical parameters. Triglycerides, HDL-Cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, total cholesterol, C-reactive protein, and insulin resistance were considered as markers of metabolic syndrome. The subjects were classified as 'healthy' (0 metabolic abnormalities) or 'unhealthy' (≥1 metabolic abnormalities) in their respective BMI group with a cut-off at 24.9 kg/m². Analysis of biochemical variables was done using enzyme linked immunos
