FAS and ACC dysfunction in visceral Adipose Tissue
Background and Aim: A great interest for determining the particular mechanisms underlying lipogenesis and adipogenesis has been raised among researchers in order to fight obesity. We aimed to investigate the gene expression of FAS and its role in regulation of lipogenesis and adipogenesis in visceral adipose tissues from obese and normal-weight subjects. materials and Methods: A total of.parti...
متن کاملValidity of new child-specific thoracic gas volume prediction equations for air-displacement plethysmography
OBJECTIVE To develop child-specific thoracic gas volume (TGV) prediction equations for use in air-displacement plethysmography in 6- to 17-year-old children. RESEARCH METHODS AND PROCEDURES Study 1 developed TGV prediction equations using anthropometric variables after completing a measured TGV and air-displacement plethysmography test in 224 healthy boys and girls (11.2 +/- 3.2 years, 45.3 +...
متن کاملVisceral adipose tissue in children and adolescents: a review.
Research conducted among adults has mainly shown that visceral adipose tissue (VAT) is strongly linked to insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, hypertension and dyslipidaemia, leading to increased risk of CVD or the metabolic syndrome. However, little is known about the aetiology, determinants and consequences of VAT in children. The present article reviews the current literature relating to the...
متن کاملComparison of air displacement plethysmography to hydrostatic weighing for estimating total body density in children
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to examine the accuracy of total body density and percent body fat (% fat) using air displacement plethysmography (ADP) and hydrostatic weighing (HW) in children. METHODS Sixty-six male and female subjects (40 males: 12.4 +/- 1.3 yrs, 47.4 +/- 14.8 kg, 155.4 +/- 11.9 cm, 19.3 +/- 4.1 kg/m2; 26 females: 12.0 +/- 1.9 yrs, 41.4 +/- 7.7 kg, 152.1 +/- 8.9 c...
متن کاملIs epicardial adipose tissue, assessed by echocardiography, a reliable method for visceral adipose tissue prediction?
INTRODUCTION Epicardial adipose tissue is an ectopic fat storage at the heart surface in direct contact with the coronary arteries. It is considered a metabolically active tissue, being a local source of pro-inflammatory factors that contribute to the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease. The AIM of our study was to establish correlations between echocardiographic assessment of epicardial ad...
