Association between birth weight and visceral fat in adults [PDF]

, 2010
Background: Several studies reported inverse associations between birth weight and central adiposity in adults. However, few studies investigated the contributions of different abdominal fat compartments. Objective: We examined associations between birth

Ethnic differences in adiposity and diabetes risk – insights from genetic studies [PDF]

, 2020
Type 2 diabetes is more common in non-Europeans and starts at a younger age and at lower BMI cut-offs. This review discusses the insights from genetic studies about pathophysiological mechanisms which determine risk of disease with a focus on the role of

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.

Patterns of Abdominal Fat Distribution [PDF]

Diabetes Care, 2009
OBJECTIVE—The prevalence of abdominal obesity exceeds that of general obesity. We sought to determine the prevalence of abdominal subcutaneous and visceral obesity and to characterize the different patterns of fat distribution in a community-based sample. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS—Participants from the Framingham Heart Study (n = 3,348,

Tumor mutational burden as a determinant of metastatic dissemination patterns

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study performed a comprehensive analysis of genomic data to elucidate whether metastasis in certain organs share genetic characteristics regardless of cancer type. No robust mutational patterns were identified across different metastatic locations and cancer types.

KLK7 overexpression promotes an aggressive phenotype and facilitates peritoneal dissemination in colorectal cancer cells

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
KLK7, a tissue kallikrein‐related peptidase, is elevated in advanced colorectal cancer and associated with shorter survival. High KLK7 levels in ascites correlate with peritoneal metastasis. In mice, KLK7 overexpression increases metastasis. In vitro, KLK7 enhances cancer cell proliferation, migration, adhesion, and spheroid formation, driving ...

Body mass index, abdominal fatness, fat mass and the risk of atrial fibrillation: a systematic review and dose–response meta-analysis of prospective studies [PDF]

, 2017
Different adiposity measures have been associ- ated with increased risk of atrial fibrillation, however, results have previously only been summarized for BMI. We therefore conducted a systematic review and meta- analysis of prospective studies to clarify

Quantitative abdominal fat estimation using MRI

2008 19th International Conference on Pattern Recognition, 2008
This paper introduces a new method for automatic quantification of subcutaneous, visceral and non-visceral internal fat from MR-images acquired using the two point Dixon technique in the abdominal region. The method includes (1) a three dimensional phase unwrapping to provide water and fat images, (2) an image intensity inhomogeneity correction, and (3)

SNUPN‐Related Muscular Dystrophy: Novel Phenotypic, Pathological and Functional Protein Insights

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective SNUPN‐related muscular dystrophy or LGMDR29 is a new entity that covers from a congenital or childhood onset pure muscular dystrophy to more complex phenotypes combining neurodevelopmental features, cataracts, or spinocerebellar ataxia. So far, 12 different variants have been described.

The landscape of the long non-coding RNAs and circular RNAs of the abdominal fat tissues in the chicken lines divergently selected for fatness

BMC Genomics, 2022
Background Excessive deposition of abdominal fat poses serious problems in broilers owing to rapid growth. Recently, the evolution of the existing knowledge on long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs) have established their ...
