A randomized diet-induced weight-loss intervention reduces plasma complement C3: Possible implication for endothelial dysfunction

CONCLUSIONS: Diet-induced weight loss in men with abdominal obesity could be a way to lower plasma C3 and thereby improve endothelial dysfunction. C3 reduction may be part of the mechanism via which diet-induced weight loss could ameliorate the risk of cardiovascular disease in men with abdominal obesity.PMID:35785477 | DOI:10.1002/oby.23467
