The Visceral Adipocyte and Cardiometabolic Risk Factors
نویسنده
چکیده
Numerous studies have shown the strong and independent association between fat accumulation on anatomical structures such as the mesentery and greater omentum (i.e., visceral fat accumulation) and risk factors for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease [1]. This strong association suggests a close physiological link between fat cells located within the visceral fat compartments, the visceral adipocytes, and metabolic abnormalities. This brief review will discuss potential mechanisms relating the visceral adipocyte to cardiometabolic risk factors.

Pathophysiology of human visceral obesity: an update.
Excess intra-abdominal adipose tissue accumulation, often termed visceral obesity, is part of a phenotype including dysfunctional subcutaneous adipose tissue expansion and ectopic triglyceride storage closely related to clustering cardiometabolic risk factors. Hypertriglyceridemia; increased free fatty acid availability; adipose tissue release of proinflammatory cytokines; liver insulin resista...
متن کاملAlterations of plasma metabolite profiles related to adipose tissue distribution and cardiometabolic risk.
Metabolomic profiling of obese individuals revealed altered concentrations of many metabolites, especially branched-chain amino acids (BCAA), possibly linked to altered adipose tissue BCAA catabolism. We tested the hypothesis that some features of this metabolite signature relate closely to visceral obesity and concomitant alterations in cardiometabolic risk factors. We also postulated that alt...

Background and Objectives: Neck circumference and A body shape index are anthropometric indicators and the index of visceral obesity can predict initiation of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The aim of this study was to investigate associations between the biochemical indicators of liver function and cardiometabolic risk factors with the highlighted anthropometric indicators in patients with type 2 d...

متن کاملEffectiveness of Co-Administration of Camelina Oil and Caloric Restriction on Cardiometabolic Risk Factors, Liver Function and Mental Health in Patients with Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: A Blinded Randomized Controlled Trial Protocol
Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common chronic liver disease (CLD). Omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants co-supplementation have been considered as an alternative treatment in NAFLD. This trial will evaluate camelina sativa oil (CSO) effects as a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants on cardiometabolic risk factors, metabolic endotoxemia, liver en...
