Obesity phenotype and intra-abdominal fat responses to regular aerobic exercise [PDF]

Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice, 2009
To examine the effects of obesity phenotype on abdominal fat responses to regular aerobic exercise.Fifty-seven obese men aged 34-70 years were divided into two groups based on baseline intra-abdominal fat (IF) area measured by computerized tomography: moderate (or=200 cm(2)) IF (HIF; n=24, age: 53.5+/-9.5 yr, BMI: 30.3+/-3.1 kg/m(2)).

Comparison of the Relative Contributions of Intra‐Abdominal and Liver Fat to Components of the Metabolic Syndrome [PDF]

Obesity, 2011
Abdominally obese individuals with the metabolic syndrome often have excess fat deposition both intra‐abdominally (IA) and in the liver, but the relative contribution of these two deposits to variation in components of the metabolic syndrome remains unclear.
