Validation of a fast method for quantification of intra-abdominal and subcutaneous adipose tissue for large-scale human studies [PDF]

, 2015
Central obesity is the hallmark of a number of non-inheritable disorders. The advent of imaging techniques such asMRI has allowed for a fast and accurate assessment of body fat content and distribution.

Intra-abdominal infectious complications following gastrectomy in patients with excessive visceral fat [PDF]

Gastric Cancer, 2011
Excessive visceral fat may be a better predictor of the development of postoperative morbidity after gastrectomy than body mass index (BMI). The aim of the present study was to clarify the most appropriate fat parameter to predict pancreas-related infection and anastomotic leakage following gastrectomy.The study was performed in 206 patients who ...

Apolipoprotein E polymorphism alters the association between body fatness and plasma lipoproteins in women.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1990
The aim of the present study was to investigate the associations between total adiposity, body fat distribution, and plasma lipoprotein levels within groups of women defined on the basis of apolipoprotein E phenotypes, in order to verify whether apoE ...

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

Unusual Cause of Epigastric Pain: Intra-Abdominal Focal Fat Infarction Involving Appendage of Falciform Ligament - Case Report and Review of Literature

GE: Portuguese Journal of Gastroenterology, 2017
Torsion of the fatty appendage of the falciform ligament, part of the spectrum of conditions known as intra-abdominal focal fat infarction (IFFI), is very rare with less than 20 cases reported on imaging so far.

Dietary determinants of changes in waist circumference adjusted for body mass index - a proxy measure of visceral adiposity [PDF]

, 2010
Background Given the recognized health effects of visceral fat, the understanding of how diet can modulate changes in the phenotype “waist circumference for a given body mass index (WCBMI)”, a proxy measure of visceral adiposity, is deemed necessary ...

A Very Rare Case of Mass-Like Mesenteric Fat Necrosis in a Patient with Antiphospholipid Syndrome

GE: Portuguese Journal of Gastroenterology, 2020
Introduction: Intra-abdominal fat is a metabolically active tissue that can undergo necrosis due to torsion, infarction, or trauma. Despite being asymptomatic in most cases, fat necrosis or steatonecrosis can cause abdominal pain. Case Presentation: This

Intra‐abdominal Fat Burden Discriminated In Vivo Using Proton Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy [PDF]

Obesity, 2007
AbstractObjective: To assess proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H‐MRS) as a means to distinguish among mice with disparate intra‐abdominal body fat compositions, and to measure changes in intra‐abdominal fat burden during weight loss and regain.Research Methods and Procedures: Intra‐abdominal fat burden was analyzed as a ratio of integrated areas

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
