Abdominal Adiposity and Total Body Fat as Predictors of Cardiometabolic Health in Children and Adolescents With Obesity [PDF]

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2020
Objective: We aimed to assess the role of adipose tissue distribution in cardiometabolic risk (in particular insulin sensitivity) in a population of children and adolescents with obesity. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, participants were 479 children and adolescents with obesity (322 boys and 157 girls) aged 3 to 18 years attending the Children'

Improved glucose tolerance in mice receiving intraperitoneal transplantation of normal fat tissue [PDF]

, 2018
Aims/hypothesis: The association between increased (visceral) fat mass, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus is well known. Yet, it is unclear whether the mere increase in intra-abdominal fat mass, or rather functional alterations in fat ...

Methylation of imprinted IGF2 regions is associated with total, visceral, and hepatic adiposity in postmenopausal women

Epigenetics, 2018
Excess body fat, especially intra-abdominal fat, is a leading risk factor for metabolic diseases. Differentially methylated regions (DMRs) of two imprinted genes, insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) and H19, have been associated with obesity due to their

Interactions among the β2- and β3- adrenergic receptor genes and total body fat and abdominal fat level in the HERITAGE Family Study [PDF]

International Journal of Obesity, 2003
Interactions between markers in the beta2- and beta3-adrenergic receptor (ADR) genes and total body fat and computerized tomography-measured abdominal fat phenotypes were studied in the HERITAGE Family Study cohort of Black (n=205; 81 males and 124 females) and White (n=415; 198 males and 217 females) subjects before and after an endurance training ...
