Abstract:Introduction. The purpose of this study was to determine the possible differences in genetic polymorphisms and serum levels of chromogranin A (CgA), according to age and sex, in subjects with and without metabolic syndrome (MetS).Methodology. The genotyping and serum level of CgA and biochemical parameters were measured by the T-ARMS-PCR and PCR-RFLP and ELISA and spectrophotometer methods, respectively.Results. A comparison of males with and without MetS showed significantly lower high-density lipoprotein-cho… Show more
