Purpose/Aims of the study: This study sought to study the levels of circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), serum visfatin, and oxidative stress in obese individuals, and their respective correlations. Materials and methods: The circulating levels of EPCs were measured through detecting CD309 and CD34 by flow cytometry. Serum visfatin concentration was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in 31 obese men [obese group: BMI 28.9 +/- 0.86 kg/m(2); age 44.93 +/- 1.78 years (range 40 to 47)] and 30 normal-weight men [control group: BMI 22.7 +/- 1.22 kg/m(2); age 44.03 +/- 1.87 years (range 41 to 47)]. Indexes of oxidative stress were assayed by a colorimetric method. The relationships between circulating EPCs, serum visfatin, and oxidative stress markers were further analyzed by multiple linear regression analysis. Statistical significance was set at p
