Abdominal visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue compartments: association with metabolic risk factors in the Framingham Heart Study.
BACKGROUND Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) compartments may confer increased metabolic risk. The incremental utility of measuring both visceral and subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue (SAT) in association with metabolic risk factors and underlying heritability has not been well described in a population-based setting. METHODS AND RESULTS Participants (n=3001) were drawn from the Framingham He...
متن کاملMolecular determinants of human adipose tissue: differences between visceral and subcutaneous compartments in obese women.
The adipose tissue is playing an important role in the development of human obesity and its related comorbidities, but little is known about the mechanisms governing its differentiation and proliferation. In this work, we studied the expression of transcription factors involved in fat storage and metabolic regulations in adipose tissue of 50 well-characterized obese women. In multivariate analy...
متن کاملDistribution of Abdominal Visceral and Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue and Metabolic Syndrome in a Korean Population
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to assess the correlation between abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) in Korean adults after adjusting for the effects of visceral adipose tissue (VAT). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS The SAT/VAT ratio (SVR) was calculated using abdominal computed tomography in 2,655 subjects. We used regression analyses to assess whether the SVR p...
متن کاملDoes measurement site for visceral and abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue alter associations with the metabolic syndrome?
OBJECTIVE To determine whether the associations between visceral adipose tissue (VAT), abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue (ASAT), and the metabolic syndrome are altered depending on measurement site for VAT and ASAT and the definition used to identify the metabolic syndrome. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Total VAT and ASAT volume was derived using approximately 37 contiguous computed tomogra...
متن کاملInterindividual variation in abdominal subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue: influence of measurement site.
We evaluated the influence of measurement site on the ranking (low to high) of abdominal subcutaneous (SAT) and visceral (VAT) adipose tissue. We also determined the influence of measurement site on the prediction of abdominal SAT and VAT mass. The subjects included 100 men with computed tomography (CT) measurements at L4-L5 and L3-L4 levels and 100 men with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) mea...
