Effect of Acute Exercise on 12,13-Dihydroxy-9Z-Octadecenoic Acid (12,13-diHOME) Levels in Obese Male Adolescents.

12,13-diHOME levels were found to be lower in adolescents with obesity than normal-weight adolescents and increased with acute exercise. Also, the close relationship of this molecule with dyslipidaemia in addition to that with obesity suggests that it has an important role in the pathophysiology of these disorders. Further molecular studies will further elucidate the role of 12,13-diHOME in obesity and dyslipidaemia. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
