Visceral fat and insulin resistance--causative or correlative?
The association between abdominal fat accumulation and risk of chronic diseases, including type II diabetes and coronary heart disease, has long been recognized. Insulin resistance may be a key factor in this link. Many studies have pointed to an association between insulin resistance and intra-abdominal fat accumulation (visceral obesity). However there is no clear proof of a causal link betwe...
متن کاملInsulin resistance pathogenesis in visceral fat and gut organisms
Epidemiological work has shown that visceral adiposity is strongly related to metabolic disorders including insulin resistance. What regulates visceral fat deposition and why it is so metabolically deleterious remains largely unclear. Recent data suggest that the gastrointestinal tract may be a central player in the development of visceral fat accumulation and metabolic syndrome. An impaired gu...
متن کاملThe effects of high fat diet-induced obesity and interval and continuous exercise training on visceral fat SIRT1 and insulin resistance in male rats
Introduction. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of high fat diet-induced obesity and interval and continuous exercise training on visceral fat SIRT1 and insulin resistance in male rats. Method. Forty male rats were divided into two groups: high-fat diet (HFD; n=32) and standard diet (C; n=8). After 10 weeks inducing obesity, eight rats from the HFD and C groups were sacrifi...
متن کاملEffect of high fat diet on insulin resistance: dietary fat versus visceral fat mass.
The purpose of the present study was to determine whether chronic high-fat diet (HF) induces insulin resistance independently of obesity. We randomly divided 40 rats into two groups and fed them either with a HF or with a high-carbohydrate diet (HC) for 8 weeks. Whole body glucose disappearance rate (Rd) was measured using a euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp. Firstly, we defined whether insulin...
متن کاملMolecular evidence supporting the portal theory: a causative link between visceral adiposity and hepatic insulin resistance.
The mechanism by which increased central adiposity causes hepatic insulin resistance is unclear. The "portal hypothesis" implicates increased lipolytic activity in the visceral fat and therefore increased delivery of free fatty acids (FFA) to the liver, ultimately leading to liver insulin resistance. To test the portal hypothesis at the transcriptional level, we studied expression of several ge...
