Preperitoneal Fat Grafting Inhibits the Formation of Intra-abdominal Adhesions in Mice [PDF]
Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery, 2020 Adhesion formation contributes to postoperative complications in abdominal and gynaecological surgery. Thus far, the prevention and treatment strategies have focused on mechanical barriers in solid and liquid form, but these methods are not in routine use.

Excess Early Postnatal Weight Gain Leads to Increased Abdominal Fat in Young Children
International Journal of Pediatrics, 2012 Background. Increased childhood weight gain has been associated with later adiposity. Whether excess early postnatal weight gain plays a role in childhood abdominal fat is unknown. Design. In the ongoing Wheezing Illnesses Study Leidsche Rijn (WHISTLER),

Intra-abdominal focal fat infarction of the omentum: Diagnosis and percutaneous management [PDF]
BJR|case reports, 2015 We present a case of a 68-year-old female who presented with left iliac fossa pain and postprandial vomiting for 7 days. Initial CT scan revealed a large mass within the upper abdomen in close proximity to the pancreatic tail, with central fat density, marginal enhancement, a distended vessel coursing through the centre and hazy increased density of ...

Short-term effects of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists on fat distribution in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: an ultrasonography study [PDF]
, 2015 AIMS:Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) induce weight loss and reduction in adipose tissue, but the effects of GLP-1 RA on the distribution of fat deposits have been poorly investigated. METHODS: In 25 patients with type 2 diabetes (16

Pathophysiologic Contributions of Visceral Adiposity to Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction
Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2023 Background: Visceral fat produces inflammatory cytokines and may play a major role in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). However, little data exist regarding how qualitative and quantitative abnormalities of visceral fat would ...

Waist Circumference Adjusted for Body Mass Index and Intra-Abdominal Fat Mass
PLoS ONE, 2012 The association between waist circumference (WC) and mortality is particularly strong and direct when adjusted for body mass index (BMI). One conceivable explanation for this association is that WC adjusted for BMI is a better predictor of the presumably most harmful intra-abdominal fat mass (IAFM) than WC alone.
