Abdominal fat quantity and distribution in women with polycystic ovary syndrome and extent of its relation to insulin resistance. [PDF]

, 2007
CONTEXT: Increased abdominal fat has been linked to insulin resistance and increased cardiovascular risk. Because many patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) present abdominal obesity, it may be the cause of insulin resistance in this disorder.

Body composition and body fat distribution are related to cardiac autonomic control in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease patients [PDF]

, 2013
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Heart rate recovery (HRR), a cardiac autonomic control marker, was shown to be related to body composition (BC), yet this was not tested in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) patients.

Abdominal Fat and Sleep Apnea [PDF]

Diabetes Care, 2008
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome is a disorder characterized by repetitive episodes of upper airway obstruction that occur during sleep. Associated features include loud snoring, fragmented sleep, repetitive hypoxemia/hypercapnia, daytime sleepiness, and cardiovascular complications. The prevalence of OSA is 2–3% and 4–5% in middle-aged women and

Dietary Protein Intake and Peritoneal Protein Losses in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients lose protein in their waste dialysate, potentially increasing their risk for malnutrition. We wished to determine whether there was any association between losses and dietary protein intake (DPI). Methods DPI was assessed from 24‐h dietary recall using Nutrics software.

GPNMB promotes abdominal fat deposition in chickens: genetic variation, expressional profile, biological function, and transcriptional regulation

Poultry Science, 2022
Glycoprotein nonmetastatic melanoma protein B (GPNMB) is a vital secreted factor that promotes the occurrence of obesity in mammals. However, the effects of GPNMB on abdominal fat deposition is still unknown in chickens. In this study, we looked into the

Association between adiposity and systemic atherosclerosis: a protocol of a cross-sectional autopsy study. [PDF]

, 2016
IntroductionAdiposity has been associated with atherosclerosis in clinical studies. However, few autopsy studies have investigated this association, and they had only examined the coronary artery disease. Moreover, most studies had small sample sizes and

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

Regression of Abdominal Fat in Broilers on Abdominal Fat in Spent Parents

Poultry Science, 1982
Abstract A total of 261 pedigreed broilers out of 10 sires and 27 dams from a high fat line and 378 pedigreed broilers out of 11 sires and 34 dams from a low fat line were probed in the vent at 8 weeks of age as an indirect measure of abdominal fat. The broilers were weighed alive, slaughtered, and eviscerated.
