Adipose Tissue

Data from a large U.S. survey show a noninvasive visceral adiposity index score, a metric for assessing obesity, can independently predict and serve as a novel marker of HF risk, researchers reported.

Both exercise and caloric restriction reduced visceral adipose tissue among adults with overweight and obesity, but only exercise had a dose-dependent effect, according to researchers.

Women with higher levels of visceral adipose tissue are more likely to develop preeclampsia than those with less fat, according to findings from a Mendelian randomization published in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.

Adding exercise to a lifestyle intervention program substantially improved reductions in abdominal fat depots among children with overweight or obesity, according to clinical trial results published in JAMA Network Open.

SAN DIEGO — Higher amounts of visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue are associated with an increased risk for breast cancer among postmenopausal women, according to a presenter at ObesityWeek 2022.

Results showed intra-articular injection of microfragmented adipose tissue or platelet-rich plasma had comparable low numbers of failures and adverse events without signs of disease progression in patients with knee osteoarthritis.

SARS-CoV-2 infects adipose tissue, where it can act as an ongoing source of virus replication and inflammation, according to a study that may indicate why obesity has proven to be such a significant risk factor for severe COVID-19.

Higher body fat, whether determined by percentage, fat mass, fat mass index or visceral adipose tissue, was associated with higher risk for mortality among adults, according to study data.

Published results showed intraoperative injection of autologous microfragmented adipose tissue may safely and effectively improve short-term clinical and functional outcomes after single-row arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

Healthy nonobese adults consumed more calories, gained more weight and experienced an increase in visceral adipose tissue after 14 days of experimental sleep restriction compared with those who slept 9 hours per night, researchers reported.
