A new international study led by scientists from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev has characterized the populations of fat cells in various fat tissues in the human body. Using innovative technology ...

As the researchers were able to show, there are significant functional changes in cells in the visceral adipose tissue of people with metabolic diseases. This remodeling affects almost every cell ...

Abdominal adipose tissue, especially excessive and ectopic fat depositions, was strongly linked to widespread, chronic musculoskeletal pain.

New research found that overweight or obese people who exercise regularly have “healthier” belly fat than people who do not exercise. Researchers say healthier belly fat has a ...

Visceral adipose tissue and subcutaneous adipose tissue were quantified on abdominal MRI scans performed at two imaging visits.

We investigated the associations of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) with cardiometabolic risk factors in three ethnic diverse populations of Inuit, ...

Adipose tissue can be found under the skin (subcutaneous adipose tissue) or around the organs (visceral adipose tissue). While having adipose tissue is good, having too much—or too little—adipose ...

The orbital fat (OF) occupying the space of orbital cavity is a highly specialized type of white adipose tissue, which is quite different from the subcutaneous fat (SF) developmentally, structurally, ...

This article focuses on a compelling theme: the role of adipose tissue in regulating whole-body insulin sensitivity and the risk of type 2 diabetes.

An implementation of a novel method to automate the assessment of the abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue and visceral adipose tissue which have been detected in MRI images for obese subjects is ...

Visceral and Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue Assessment Visceral fat area (VFA) and subcutaneous fat area (SFA) were measured at the umbilical level on an NCCT axial slice and used as an indicator to ...
