We examined the independent associations among abdominal adipose tissue (AT), liver fat, cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), and lipid variables in 161 Caucasian men who had a wide variation in adiposity. We measured AT and liver fat by computed tomography and CRF by a maximal exercise test on a treadmill. Visceral AT remained a significant (P <or= 0.05) predictor of plasma triglycerides (TG), hig...

XEN cells are derived from an early stage murine embryo and represent an in vitro model of extraembryonic endoderm, an extraembryonic tissue that is essential for the proper development of the embryo. Visceral endoderm, a subtype of extraembryonic endoderm, is known to directly influence epiblast development through several inductive (and anti-inductive) events. In contrast, while the parietal ...

It is a hallmark of functional gastrointestinal disorders such as irritable-bowel syndrome (IBS). Currently, the treatment strategies targeting visceral pain are unsatisfactory, with development of novel therapeutics hindered by a lack of detailed knowledge of the unde...
