Preserved Fat-Free Mass after Gastric Bypass and Duodenal Switch [PDF]
Obesity Surgery, 2016 Concerns for the possibility of an excessive loss of fat-free mass (FFM) and resting metabolic rate (RMR) after bariatric surgery, such as Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and duodenal switch (BPD/DS), have been raised.This study aims to examine body composition and RMR in patients after RYGB and BPD/DS and in non-operated controls.Body composition and ...

Ovariectomy and overeating palatable, energy-dense food increase subcutaneous adipose tissue more than intra-abdominal adipose tissue in rats [PDF]
, 2011 Background Menopause is associated with increased adiposity, especially increased deposition of intra-abdominal (IA) adipose tissue (AT). This differs from common or 'dietary' obesity, i.e., obesity apparently due to environmentally stimulated overeating,

The fat-free mass compartment influences serum leptin in men [PDF]
European Journal of Endocrinology, 2000 OBJECTIVE: Recent experimental work in mice has demonstrated that leptin is synthesized by muscle cells. As this latter tissue is the main target for insulin-estimulated glucose disposal, we hypothesized that the muscular and fat-free mass (FFM) compartments might influence serum leptin levels in humans through increased insulin resistance.
