Childhood overweight and obesity: age stratification contributes to the differences in metabolic characteristics

CONCLUSIONS: The metabolic disturbances show a significant progression from overweight to obesity in children, and different metabolic characteristics were demonstrated in age stratifications. The changes in the levels of phenylalanine, tyrosine, glutamine, leucine, histidine, and ascorbate were tracked with the persistence of childhood obesity. These findings will promote the mechanistic understanding of childhood overweight and obesity.PMID:38112246 | DOI:10.1002/oby.23964
