Abdominal fat quantification using convolutional networks
Abstract Objectives To present software for automated adipose tissue quantification of abdominal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data using fully convolutional networks (FCN) and to evaluate its overall performance—accuracy, reliability, processing effort, and time—in comparison with an interactive reference method.

Inactivity induces increases in abdominal fat [PDF]
Previously, inducing inactivity for 53 h after 21 days of voluntary running resulted in a 25 and 48% increase in epididymal and omental fat pad weights, respectively, while rats continued to eat more than a group that never had access to a running wheel ( J Physiol 565: 911–925, 2005).

Differential regulation of intramuscular fat and abdominal fat deposition in chickens [PDF]
Abstract Background Chicken intramuscular fat (IMF) content is closely related to meat quality and performance, such as tenderness and flavor. Abdominal fat (AF) in chickens is one of the main waste products at slaughter. Excessive AF reduces feed efficiency and carcass quality.

Maternal caregivers have confluence of altered cortisol, high reward-driven eating, and worse metabolic health. [PDF]
Animal models have shown that chronic stress increases cortisol, which contributes to overeating of highly palatable food, increased abdominal fat and lower cortisol reactivity. Few studies in humans have simultaneously examined these trajectories.

Assessment of abdominal fat compartments using DXA in premenopausal women from anorexia nervosa to morbid obesity [PDF]
Objective: The purpose of this study was to test a newly developed DXA method for abdominal fat depot quantification in subjects with AN, normal weight, and obesity using CT as a gold standard. Design and Methods 135 premenopausal women (overweight/obese:

Distribution of adipose tissue: Quantification and relationship with hepatic steatosis and vascular profiles of type 2 diabetic patients with metabolic syndrome [PDF]
AimAs the distribution of fat is increasingly related to cardiovascular events, we examined whether or not abdominal-fat quantification using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) software is reliable, and whether or not it is related to clinical markers of ...

Genetic Mapping of the QTL Affecting Abdominal Fat Deposition in Chickens
To identify the quantitative trait loci (QTL) affecting abdominal fat deposition in chickens, we carried out QTL analysis on this trait using a resource population of 222 F2 progeny from a cross between a Satsumadori (a Japanese native breed showing ...

Consensus module analysis of abdominal fat deposition across multiple broiler lines
Background Despite several RNA-Seq and microarray studies on differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between high- and low-abdominal fat deposition in different broiler lines, to our knowledge, gene coexpression analysis across multiple broiler lines has ...
