Obesity, visceral adipose tissue, and cognition in childhood
… In addition to weight status, central adipose tissue is particularly dangerous, with visceral adipose tissue being linked to higher risks of metabolic diseases and cardiovascular complications. However, the relationship between central adiposity and brain health and cognition during …

THE ASSOCIATION OF VISCERAL ADIPOSE TISSUE WITH PULSE PRESSURE
Background: Obesity and aortic stiffness (AS) contribute to cardiovascular disease (CVD). Central obesity as measured by VAT is thought to be a more specific measure of deleterious adiposity independent of body mass index (BMI). However, the nature of the relationship between VAT and AS in …

Anti-Inflammatory Effects of Cardiovascular Exercise: Role of Visceral Adipose Tissue
… diseases is inflammation that occurs in the visceral white adipose tissue (WAT). Reducing WAT inflammation, even in the absence of body weight changes, improves the metabolic consequences of obesity, highlighting the importance of the physiology of the WAT in the treatment of metabolic …

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MODES OF EXERCISE AND THE MEASURES IN VISCERAL ADIPOSE TISSUE
… of obesity on chronic health conditions is the visceral adipose tissue (VAT). VAT is most influential due to these adipocytes being more metabolically active, and most VAT containing direct access to the hepatic portal which can lead to ectopic adipose storage. Physical activity and exercise …

HDL-C As Most Predictive Variable of Visceral Adipose Tissue in Young Military Personnel of the National Guard
… (BF), positively correlated with high values of Visceral Adipose Tissue (VAT) in both sexes. Statistical analyses identify HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) and waist circumference as significant predictive variables of VAT, after adjusting for age and sex. Follow-up data from two participants was …

The effects of including almonds in an energy-restricted diet on weight, body composition, visceral adipose tissue, blood pressure and cognitive function
… on weight loss. Their effects specifically on visceral fat stores during energy restriction have not been widely examined. Additionally, almond consumption has been associated with reduced blood pressure, but whether this is linked to or is independent of changes of body composition has not …

Quantification of visceral fat using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry
Accumulation of visceral adipose tissue is an independent marker for cardiovascular risk and insulin resistance in both children and adults (Gower et al, 1999; Neeland et al. 2012; Owens et al. 1998). As the accumulation of visceral adipose tissue increases the risk of cardiovascular also increases …

Palmitic Acid Activation of Dendritic Cells: Implications for Type 2 Diabetes
<p>Infiltration of immune cells into visceral adipose tissue is observed in type 2 diabetes development. Monocytes are recruited to obese visceral adipose tissue in large numbers and retain the ability to differentiate into dendritic cells, important antigen presenting cells in the immune system. …

Pathological characterization of natural Ophidiomyces ophiodiicola infection in wild-caught Lake Erie watersnakes: A standardized approach to documentation of disease
… with gross disease, 4) individuals with visceral granulomas will have more severe cutaneous disease, 5) there will be a range of infectious and non-infectious conditions associated with ophidiomycosis, and finally 6) individuals with decreased visceral adipose tissue will have a higher …

Analysis of Dietary Intake, Body Composition and Biomarkers in Adults with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, Prediabetes and Without Diabetes
… distribution, quality of fat intake, visceral adipose tissue (VAT), and inflammatory biomarkers. We found there was a significant difference in fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C) between the control group and the PDM/T2DM group. We did not find a statistically …

Comparative Analysis of Body Composition and Reference Values of Visceral Adipose Tissues in Various American Collegiate Sports
… states and accurately estimate certain types of tissues. In athletes, performing BC assessments helps gauge training and nutrition programs to see if they are adequately meeting the athlete’s needs to improve performance. Annual Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) scans before the start of an …

THE ASSOCIATIONS OF REGIONAL BODY COMPONENTS WITH CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE METABOLIC RISK FACTORS IN THE MORBIDLY OBESE
… as causes between health risks and excessive adipose tissue in the body. The purpose of this study was to examine associations of percent body fat, thigh muscle volume and four different types of fat depots: visceral adipose tissue, abdominal and thigh intermuscular adipose tissue, abdominal …

Effects of Neuropeptide Y on Adipocyte Metabolism
… Y (NPY) is produced and upregulated in visceral adipose tissue of an early-life programmed rat model of central obesity. Moreover, we have demonstrated that NPY contributes to the pathogenesis of obesity. However, the role of NPY in regulating adipocyte metabolism is poorly understood. …

The effects of a mushroom-egg white blend product on endothelial health and cardiovascular biomarkers
… EWO consumption significantly decreased visceral adipose tissue volume from baseline to final (p = 0.043). MEWB consumption did not significantly change endothelial function or cardiovascular biomarkers. However, the treatment group showed improved levels of total cholesterol, low-density …

Engineering nanomaterials for molecular imaging and targeted therapy
… and long stability for imaging cells and tissues. Toward this goal, a new polymer surface coating methodology is developed for making small (7.4-12 nm), stable (over months in storage), and bio-functional quantum dots. The approach is shown to be robust and applicable for different shapes …

Evaluation of Metabolic Risk in Relation to Visceral Adiposity and Physical Activity in Patients with Long-Standing Type 1 Diabetes // Оценка на метаболитния риск във връзка с висцералната мастна маса и физическата активност при пациенти със захарен диабет тип 1 с голяма давност
The thesis examines the relation between visceral adipose tissue (VAT), physical activity (PA), and metabolic risk in patients with long-standing type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) with childhood onset. A prospective case–control study was conducted, including 124 patients with T1DM (disease duration …

Prenatal Programming of Hepatic Glucose and Cholesterol Regulation in Male Rat Offspring by Chronic Intermittent Hypoxia
… CIH offspring had higher body weights and higher visceral adipose tissue. Gestational CIH caused impairments in glucose homeostasis, as male CIH offspring were hyperglycemic, hyperinsulinemic, and showed impaired early-stage glucose tolerance in adulthood. Molecular analysis revealed that CIH …

Associations between dietary intake, physical activity and intrahepatic fat.
… associated with IHF (p>0.05), CRF, WC, visceral adipose tissue (AT), and HOMA-IR were associated with IHF (p<0.05). Additionally, sedentary time, light PA and total PA approached statistical significance with visceral AT, while both light PA and total PA were significantly associated …

Benefits of Quercetin on Metabolic and Inflammatory Biomarkers in High Fat Diet Induced Obesity: A Dose Response Study
… M1 macrophage marker CD11c in the epididymal adipose tissue. This was consistent with a general decrease in the gene expression of inflammatory mediators (MCP-1, TNF-├â┬í, and TLR-4). This data confirm the ability of quercetin to reduce metabolic and inflammatory biomarkers in a high fat diet …
