Pathophysiology of human visceral obesity: an update.

Physiological reviews - 1 Jan 2013

Tchernof André, Després Jean-Pierre

Abstract excerpt

Excess intra-abdominal adipose tissue accumulation, often termed visceral obesity, is part of a phenotype including dysfunctional subcutaneous adipose tissue expansion and ectopic triglyceride storage closely related to clustering cardiometabolic risk factors. Hypertriglyceridemia; increased free fatty acid availability; adipose tissue release of proinflammatory cytokines; liver insulin resistance and...
