Abstract (original English)
Emerging evidence highlights extracellular vesicles (EVs), especially exosomes, as critical molecular messengers linking pediatric obesity to multi-organ complications. This scoping review synthesizes current knowledge on EVs-mediated intercellular communication that exacerbates inflammation, insulin resistance, endothelial dysfunction and organ-specific damage. Data demonstrate that adipose- and endothelial-derived EVs carry bioactive cargo, microRNAs, proteins, and lipids, that modulate key pathways driving metabolic derangements and vascular injury, often preceding detectable clinical biomarkers. Notably, maternal obesity influences EVs composition in breast milk, shaping early-life metabolic programming and offspring risk of obesity. Recent studies underscore the diagnostic and therapeutic potential of EVs in obesity-related conditions such as metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), early renal injury, and cardiovascular dysfunction in children. Furthermore, EVs released in response to exercise or bariatric surgery may mediate systemic metabolic improvements, offering a novel window into personalized interventions. Despite promising findings, standardization of EV isolation and profiling in pediatric research is lacking, and large-scale longitudinal studies are urgently needed. By deepening our understanding of EVs biology, clinicians may advance early detection,
What this study does not prove
- • This study does not prove SVF is an approved treatment or a replacement for standard care.
Evidence level
Relatively higher-quality human studies compared with other topics in this database, e.g. multiple RCTs or systematic reviews. This does not mean it is standard or approved care.
