Receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand/receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B/osteoprotegerin (RANKL/RANK/OPG) axis has been hypothesized as a potential mediator of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). The aim of the study was to assess whether circulating concentrations of RANKL, RANK, and OPG were associated with early signs of morphological cardiac changes in overweight/obese youths.
