Androgens and body fat distribution

The Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2008
An important sex difference in body fat distribution is generally observed. Men are usually characterized by the android type of obesity, with accumulation of fat in the abdominal region, whereas women often display the gynoid type of obesity, with a greater proportion of their body fat in the gluteal-femoral region.

Effects of the Menopause Transition on Body Fatness and Body Fat Distribution

Obesity Research, 1998
AbstractObjective: The menopause transition increases cardiovascular and metabolic disease risk, partly because of the adverse effects of estrogen deficiency on the plasma lipid‐lipoprotein profile and cardiovascular function. This increased cardiovascular and metabolic disease risk may also be partially mediated by increased body fat, increased ...

Metabolic impact of body fat distribution

Journal of Endocrinological Investigation, 2002
Many studies have shown that fat distribution influences metabolism independently of the effects of total body fat stores. The accumulation of fat in the abdominal area, particularly in the visceral fat compartment, seems to be associated with an increased risk to display complications such as insulin resistance, diabetes, dyslipidemias and ...

Androgens, body fat Distribution and Adipogenesis

Current Obesity Reports, 2014
Androgens are regulators of important adipocyte functions such as adipogenesis, lipid storage, and lipolysis. Through depot-specific impact on the cells of each fat compartment, androgens could modulate body fat distribution patterns in humans. Testosterone and dihydrotestosterone have been shown to inhibit the differentiation of preadipocytes to lipid-

Effect of body fat and gender on body temperature distribution

Journal of Thermal Biology, 2017
It is well known that body composition can influence peripheral heat loss and skin temperature. That the distribution of body fat is affected by gender is well known; however, there is little information on how body composition and gender influences the measure of skin temperature.

Body fat, abdominal fat and body fat distribution related to VO_2PEAKin young children

International Journal of Pediatric Obesity, 2011
Aerobic fitness, defined as maximum oxygen uptake (VO(2PEAK)), and body fat measurements represent two known risk factors for disease. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between VO(2PEAK) and body fat measurements in young children at a population-based level.Cross-sectional study of 225 children (128 boys and 97 girls) aged ...

Body Fat Distribution and Total Body Fat as Risk Factors for Microalbuminuria in the Obese

Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism, 2001
<i>Background/Aim:</i> Despite evidence linking type of obesity with subsequent organ malfunction, such a link with renal malfunction has not been widely researched. The aim of this study was to investigate percentage of total body fat (%TBF), and body fat distribution in relation to the renal function in overweight/obese subjects. <i>

A Matter of Fat: Body Fat Distribution and Cardiometabolic Disease in Africa

2021
Africa is a complex and diverse continent that faces numerous challenges. It is a region in epidemiological transition which is currently experiencing a dual burden of communicable and non-communicable diseases. The high prevalence of cardiometabolic disease (CMD) on the continent is driven largely by the increasing prevalence of obesity in the more ...

Metabolic Implications of Body Fat Distribution

Diabetes Care, 1991
Insulin resistance is the cornerstone for the development of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). Free fatty acids (FFAs) cause insulin resistance in muscle and liver and increase hepatic gluconeogenesis and lipoprotein production and perhaps decrease hepatic clearance of insulin.

Is Body Fat Distribution Changed by Dieting?

Acta Medica Scandinavica, 1987
ABSTRACT Studies of fat distribution have generally relied on the ratio of circumference measurements, such as waist/hip, or waist/thigh. However, these circumferences do not increase at a uniform rate with increasing obesity, and fat is deposited relatively more in the antero‐posterior axis of the trunk and limbs than laterally.
