Metabolic syndrome (MetS) has become a worldwide health problem, affecting children and adults globally. The prevalence of MetS is rising all over the world due to increasing obesity and sedentary lifestyles. MetS is caused by the interaction of both genetic and environmental factors.MetS is characterized by complicated, multidimensional, and sophisticated molecular pathways that involve insulin resistance, inflammatory processes, and hereditary predispositions. Here we are trying to focus on common molecular mechanisms that underlie MetS occurrence, aiming to offer a better understanding of their role in MetS and helping in developing prognostic/diagnostic tools and targeting novel therapeutic options.
