Disease relevance of Abdominal Fat

 

Psychiatry related information on Abdominal Fat

  • The present study was designed to measure interstitial levels of norepinephrine-regulating lipolysis (NE) in subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue of anorexia nervosa (AN) patients and control subjects under basal conditions and after the local administration of an inhibitor of NE re-uptake, maprotiline [6].
  • This study demonstrates a significant relationship between internalized racism and abnormal levels of fasting glucose which may be mediated through abdominal fat [7].

Associations of Abdominal Fat with chemical compounds

  • Abdominal fat had a significantly stronger relationship with insulin sensitivity than peripheral nonabdominal fat (r2 = 0.79 vs. 0.44), and higher levels were associated with increased fasting nonesterified fatty acids, lipid oxidation, and hepatic glucose output [13].
  • In black women, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol was the only measurement adversely affected by abdominal fat; HDL cholesterol was significantly lower in the black UBO group (1.14 +/- 0.05 mM) compared with the black LBO group (1.37 +/- 0.08 mM) [28].
  • Both exercise training and food restriction significantly suppressed plasma levels of glucose and insulin and serum levels of triacylglycerol and cholesterol and reduced the accumulation of abdominal fat [29].
  • In all patients, the abdominal fat tissue, stained with Congo red, was negative for amyloid deposits [30].
  • BACKGROUND: Abdominal fat and circulating triacylglycerols increase with age, which indicates lipid overaccumulation [31].
 

Gene context of Abdominal Fat

  • The direct effect of PRL on the regulation of LPL activity in human abdominal adipose tissue cultured in vitro was investigated [32].
  • Waist to hip ratio did not correlate with the levels of circulating hormones or SHBG, but an inverse correlation was found between abdominal fat cell size and A as well as the LH to FSH ratio in the nonhirsute women of the obese group [16].
  • In addition, L-PRLR [relative molecular mass (M(r)) 90,000] and I-PRLR (M(r) 50,000) protein expression was detected in human sc abdominal adipose tissue and breast adipose tissue using immunoblot analysis [32].
  • We examined the association between the Ala(54)Thr variant in the FABP2 gene and levels of visceral (VAT) and sc (SAAT) abdominal fat in a group of 223 premenopausal African-American (n = 103) and Caucasian (n = 120) women [33].
  • Thirteen/fifteen orbital and abdominal fat samples from patients free of GD and TED, measured ex vivo, were negative for TSHR transcripts and two were at the limit of detection [34].
