Familial Clustering of Insulin and Abdominal Visceral Fat: The HERITAGE Family Study1

1 Dec 1998

Abstract excerpt

Abdominal visceral fat (AVF) is an obesity-related phenotype thought to be associated with insulin resistance, diabetes mellitus, and atherosclerosis. Significant genetic influences on both AVF and insulin levels have been reported. However, information is lacking as to whether common genetic influences on AVF and insulin levels exist. AVF was assessed by computed tomography scan, and fasting insulin was measured...
