Background Obesity is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity. The skin is a unique site allowing simple, noninvasive assessment of capillary density and endothelial function. In the present study, we measured skin capillary density and endothelial function in a group of normotensive overweight/obese nondiabetic individuals and healthy lean controls.Methods and results We examined 120 relatively insulin-sensitive overweight individuals (BMI 27.9 +/- 2.7 kg/m(2), mean +/- SD) with normal blood pressure and fasting plasma glucose and 130 lean (BMI 22.4 +/- 1.7 kg/m(2)) controls. We used video microscopy to measure skin capillary density in the resting state and during venous occlusion. Laser Doppler flowmetry, combined with iontophoresis of acetylcholine (endothelial-dependent vasodilation) and following skin heating (endothelial-independent dilation), was performed. Resting capillary density was negatively correlated with BMI (r = -0.130, P
