Abstract
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is defined as a co-occurrence of insulin resistance, obesity (specifically visceral adipose tissue accumulation), hypertriglyceridemia, and hypertension (HTN) MetS has been implicated in the development of atherosclerosis, heart disease, type-2 diabetes, and has significantly contributed to morbidity and mortality around the world The number of people living with MetS in the United States has steadily increased in recent years. It was estimated that in the year 2000 over 47 million Americans had MetS (Ford et al., 2002), while in 2005 that number increased to 50 million Due to the serious consequences of the above conditions, timely research is needed to discover and understand the underlying pathophysiology of this illness.
