It is known that metabolic syndrome combination of risk factors that include lower responsiveness to insulin and higher blood levels of sugar and lipids, that is characterized by a group of metabolic risk factors include abdominal obesity, blood fat disorders, elevated blood pressure, insulin resistance or glucose intolerance, etc.
