Aerobic exercise training reduces hepatic and visceral lipids in obese individuals without weight loss.

29 Sep 2009 Weight loss remains the most common therapy advocated for reducing hepatic lipid in obesity and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Yet, reduction of body weight by lifestyle intervention is often modest, and thus, therapies which effectively modulate ... Read more...

Comparative relation of general, central, and visceral adiposity measures for coronary artery calcium in subjects without previous coronary events.

29 Sep 2009 It is unclear whether visceral obesity is largely responsible for an increased risk of coronary artery disease. In the present study, 1,054 men underwent coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring and abdominal computed tomography. Risk factor ... Read more...

Gender-specific prevalences of fatty liver in obese children and adolescents: roles of body fat distribution, sex steroids, and insulin resistance.

20 Sep 2009 CONTEXT: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is known to have a gender-dimorphic prevalence in obese children. Less information is available on predictive factors for NAFLD in obese youths. OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to examine the ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Intra-Abdominal Fat'

Definition: Fatty tissue inside the ABDOMINAL CAVITY, including visceral fat and retroperitoneal fat. It is the most metabolically active fat in the body and easily accessible for LIPOLYSIS. Increased visceral fat is associated with metabolic complications of OBESITY.
