Body Fat Distribution and Insulin Resistance [PDF]

open access: yesNutrients, 2013
The burden of obesity has increased globally over the last few decades and its association with insulin resistance and related cardio-metabolic problems have adversely affected our ability to reduce population morbidity and mortality. Traditionally, adipose tissue in the visceral fat depot has been considered a major culprit in the development of ...

Genome-Wide Association of Body Fat Distribution in African Ancestry Populations Suggests New Loci [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Central obesity, measured by waist circumference (WC) or waist-hip ratio (WHR), is a marker of body fat distribution. Although obesity disproportionately affects minority populations, few studies have conducted genome-wide association study (GWAS) of fat

Monogenic disorders of obesity and body fat distribution

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1999
Recently, great progress has been made towards understanding the molecular basis of body fat regulation. Identification of mutations in several genes in spontaneous monogenic animal models of obesity and development of transgenic models have indicated ...

Meta-analysis identifies 13 new loci associated with waist-hip ratio and reveals sexual dimorphism in the genetic basis of fat distribution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Waist-hip ratio (WHR) is a measure of body fat distribution and a predictor of metabolic consequences independent of overall adiposity. WHR is heritable, but few genetic variants influencing this trait have been identified.

HDL Subclass Distribution Shifts with Increasing Central Adiposity

open access: yesJournal of Obesity, 2019
Although cross-sectional studies have shown that obesity is associated with lower concentrations of large high-density lipoprotein (HDL) subclasses, it is unknown if changes in HDL subclasses are related to changes in body fat and its distribution over ...
