Intra-abdominal fat: Comparison of computed tomography fat segmentation and bioimpedance spectroscopy. [PDF]

Malawi Med J, 2017
Intra-abdominal fat is an important factor in determining the metabolic syndrome/insulin resistance, and thus the risk of diabetes and ischaemic heart disease. Computed Tomography (CT) fat segmentation represents a defined method of quantifying intra-abdominal fat, with attendant radiation risks.

Intra-abdominal fat. Part II: Non-cancerous lesions of the adipose tissue localized beyond organs

Journal of Ultrasonography, 2016
Adipose tissue does not belong to the most favorite structures to be visualized by ultrasound. It is not, however, free from various pathologies. The aim of this paper is to make abdominal cavity examiners more familiar with non-cancerous lesions found

Sonography detection of small intra-abdominal fat variations.

International journal of obesity, 1991
The aim of this study was to check the reliability of sonography in measuring small variations in quantities of subcutaneous and intra-abdominal fat. Twenty-six obese women (BMI 39 +/- 6) underwent a 15 day very low calorie diet. The study included, both before and after very low calorie diet, computed tomography measurements of total (AT), visceral ...

Neutrophils transiently infiltrate intra-abdominal fat early in the course of high-fat feeding [PDF]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2008
Chronic inflammation of adipose tissue in obesity is by now an established phenomenon, but the initiating event(s) of the inflammatory cascade are still unknown.

Assessment of intra-abdominal and subcutaneous abdominal fat: relation between anthropometry and computed tomography

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1987
The ability to distinguish between intra-abdominal and subcutaneous abdominal fat may be important in epidemiologic and clinical research. In this study anthropometric measurements were taken from 71 men and 34 women presenting for routine computed tomography (CT).

Intra-abdominal fat accumulation is a hypertension risk factor in young adulthood: A cross-sectional study. [PDF]

Medicine (Baltimore), 2016
Accumulation of intra-abdominal fat is related to hypertension. Despite this, a relationship between hypertension and intra-abdominal fat in young adulthood is not clear.

Total and intra-abdominal fat measurements by ultrasound and computerized tomography.

International journal of obesity and related metabolic disorders : journal of the International Association for the Study of Obesity, 1993
Computerized tomography, a method of proven reliability for direct measurement of both total and visceral body fat, is not widely usable and alternative means of assessing body fat are required. Several anthropometric parameters, including ultrasound measurements of intra-abdominal and subcutaneous fat, were considered in 119 females (age 15-72 years ...

Metabolic effects of intra‐abdominal fat in GHRKO mice [PDF]

Aging Cell, 2011
SummaryMice with targeted deletion of the growth hormone receptor (GHRKO mice) are growth hormone (GH) resistant, small, obese, hypoinsulinemic, highly insulin sensitive and remarkably long‐lived. To elucidate the unexpected coexistence of adiposity with improved insulin sensitivity and extended longevity, we examined effects of surgical removal of ...

Contemporary management of pain in cirrhosis: Toward precision therapy for pain

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Chronic pain is highly prevalent in patients with cirrhosis and is associated with poor health‐related quality of life and poor functional status. However, there is limited guidance on appropriate pain management in this population, and pharmacologic treatment can be harmful, leading to adverse outcomes, such as gastrointestinal bleeding ...

Associations between diet, physical activity and body fat distribution: a cross sectional study in an Indian population. [PDF]

, 2015
BACKGROUND: Obesity is a growing health problem in India and worldwide, due to changes in lifestyle. This study aimed to explore the independent associations between dietary and physical activity exposure variables and total body fat and distribution in ...
