Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is associated with impaired angiogenesis. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plays a key role in angiogenesis through binding to its specific receptor, VEGF receptor-2 (VEGFR-2), whereas the expression of VEGF and VEGFR-2 in the myocardium of insulin-resistant rats is down-regulated. Soluble VEGF receptor-1 (sVEGFR-1) and -2 (sVEGFR-2) have been reported to inhibit angiogenesis both in vitro and in vivo. However, the balance between circulating levels of VEGF and its soluble receptors, which may reflect and/or affect cardiovascular VEGF signaling, in subjects with MetS is unknown.
