Metabolic syndrome increases oxidative stress but does not influence disability and short-time outcome in acute ischemic stroke patients

In conclusion, an increase in oxidative stress markers was shown in acute ischemic stroke patients with MetS and this elevation seems to be involved mainly with changes in lipid profile, but the presence of MetS did not influence short-time disability and survival of the acute ischemic stroke patients.
