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 …

Determining the relationship between C-reactive protein, visceral fat, and the metabolic syndrome risk factors
… has made it possible to measure the amount of visceral fat (VF) in a cost-effective and non-invasive manner as opposed to computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. C-reactive protein (CRP), an acute phase inflammatory marker, has been associated with increased risk for cardiovascular …

Identifying risk factors for metabolic syndrome in Division I FCS football players
… as well as the relationship between WC and visceral fat depth and measured with an ultrasound. MetS markers and visceral fat depth were measured on 12 collegiate football players from an FCS team. Statistical analysis included Pearson correlation, simple regression and multiple regression. A …

Gender and obesity effects on cardiovagal baroreflex gain in humans
… on the influence of gender obesity, and body fat distribution on cardiovagal baroreflex gain were conducted to determine I) if women would demonstrate lower cardiovagal baroreflex gain compared with men; 2) if cardiovagal baroreflex gain would be reduced in overweight/obese (35>body mass …

Psychosocial predictors of visceral adiposity
… most notably the increased deposition of visceral adipose tissue (Bjorntorp, 1993). The current study prospectively examined the relationship between self-reported stressful life events, depressive symptoms and trait arousal on the deposition of visceral fat, as measured by computerized …

Estrogen signaling interacts with Sirt1 in adipocyte autophagy
… questions. Firstly, the gender difference in visceral fat distribution (Males have higher deposit of visceral fat than females) is controlled by an estradiol (E2)-autophagy axis. In C57BL/6J and wild type control mice, a higher visceral fat mass was detected in the males than in the females, …

Individual and combined effects of exercise training and dietary fat on myocardial triglycerides in obese mice
Visceral adipose tissue has been suggested to have a stronger association with disease than subcutaneous adipose tissue. This is primarily due to its inflammatory nature. Epicardial adipose tissue is a type of visceral fat located on the exterior of the heart. Recent evidence suggests an …

The Role of Mitochondria in the Development of Insulin Resistance and Type 2 Diabetes
… examines the relative contributions of body fat measurements on T2D and related morbidities in a large cohort of twins. A proxy measure of visceral fat was constructed from anthropometric and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, its heritability was estimated at 58% using the classical twin …

The Impact of Adipose-Associated Stromal Cells on the Metastatic Potential of Ovarian Cancer
… associated with ovarian cancer, suggesting that visceral fat may be the greatest contributor. Here, we investigated individual visceral fat depots as independent contributors to cancer progression, specifically focusing on adipose tissue-derived stem and progenitor cells, which have previously …

The Effects of Exercise Training on Resting Metabolic Rate in Youth with Overweight or Obesity
… modalities compared to control. Changes in fat free mass (FFM), but not fat mass, visceral fat or skeletal muscle was significantly associated with changes in RMR independent of exercise modality. Thus, in youth with overweight or obesity, although exercise modality was not associated with …

Effects of Modest Weight Gain on Blood Pressure and Sympathetic Neural Activity in Nonobese Humans
… variability are still uncertain, but body fat distribution and cardiorespiratory fitness may play a role (5,6). To address these and other issues regarding the relation between adiposity, sympathetic neural activity and blood pressure, we first examined the effects of modest, diet-induced …

The Role of Fto-Gene In Adiposity and Insulin Resistance: Interaction With Diet and Physical Activity
… our study was to assess the combined effect of fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) gene, dietary intake, and physical activity on the measures of adiposity. Specifically, we explored the interaction between FTO polymorphisms and selected foods and nutrients (saturated fat, dietary fiber, red …

The Effects of Weight Gain and Atorvastatin Treatment on Arterial Stiffness
… studies suggest that obesity, particularly visceral adiposity, is associated with the accelerated stiffening of central elastic arteries in middle-aged and older adults. Despite the widely recognized association between obesity, aging and arterial stiffness, there remains a paucity of …

Epicardial Adipose Tissue: Relationship with Cardiovascular Disease and the Effect of Therapeutic Interventions
… has been directed towards the intra-abdominal visceral fat and its relationship with metabolic syndrome and the role of inflammatory mediators. However, recent research has shown that mediastinal visceral fat and, in particular, epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) may play a vital role in the …

The ecology of the zander, Stizostedion lucioperca L.
… Length-weight relationships and a study of the visceral fat content, showed that there existed considerable variations in condition between populations. Sexual development and reproduction was studied and related to other percids. Laboratory studies investigated the feeding behaviour of the …

Sex Differences in Arterial Destiffening with Weight Loss
… than women because men accumulate more abdominal visceral fat (VF) and lose more with WL compared with women of similar age and adiposity. To test our hypothesis AS was assessed from measurements of pulse wave velocity and ultrasonography of the carotid artery (Ã -SI). Total body and VF were …

Patients with adrenal adenomas and autonomous cortisol secretion. Impact of hypercortisolism on skeletal and adipose tissue mass, measured in abdominal computed tomography
Context: Abdominal visceral adiposity and central sarcopenia are markers of increased cardiovascular risk and mortality. Objective: To assess whether central sarcopenia and adiposity can serve as a marker of disease severity in patients with adrenal adenomas and glucocorticoid secretory autonomy. …

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 …

Influence of Exercise Modality on Body Composition, Insulin Resistance and Functional Fitness in Aging: A Randomized Controlled Trial
… to compare the effects of exercise modality on visceral obesity and insulin resistance in the Senior Study. All exercise groups significantly reduced total abdominal and visceral fat (P<0.05) and waist circumference (P<0.001), which measure explained 30% of the variance in total abdominal fat …

Evaluation of Tissue Health and Interventions for the Prevention of Pressure Ulcers in Persons with Spinal Cord Injury
… the current study have increased intramuscular fat and decreased lean muscle which make the soft tissue around bony prominences prone to higher stress and strains. Furthermore, atrophy is more pronounced in the region of the ischial tuberosities. A relationship was found between PU history with …
