Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the role of serum prolidase activity and the possible association\nwith oxidative stress parameters in non-diabetic metabolic syndrome.\nMethods: 30 obese patients without metabolic syndrome (MetS), 34 non-diabetic obese patients with MetS, and 23\nvolunteer control subjects were enrolled in the study. Fasting plasma glucose (FPG), plasma glucose following 75 g\nglucose administration, high-density lipoprotein- cholesterol (HDL-C), high-density lipoprotein- cholesterol (LDL-C),\ntotal cholesterol, triglyceride (TG), total antioxidant status (TAS), total oxidative status (TOS), oxidative stress index\n(OSI), and prolidase activities of all subjects were analyzed.\nResults: Prolidase levels was significantly higher in MetS group compared to both obese and control groups\n(p < 0.001 and p < 0.05 respectively). Prolidase was also higher in the obese group than in the control group\n(p < 0.05). Prolidase was negatively correlated with TAS and HDL-C (r = ?0,362, p < 0.001; r = ?0.320, p < 0.01,\nrespectively) and positively correlated with BMI, weight, waist-c, SBP, DBP, TG, TC, LDL-C.\nConclusion: Prolidase activity may have a role in the pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome.
