Abstracts In his chapter the (patho) physiologic role of two distinct skeletal muscle depots,
intramuscular adipose tissue and intramyocellular lipids, is reviewed. Connections of …

Computed tomography (CT) can yield quantitative imaging data from detailed maps of linear
attenuation coefficients within tissue. The attenuation characteristics of skeletal muscle and …

Triglyceride accumulation within skeletal muscle has received considerable interest due to
its potential role in insulin resistance and fatty acid metabolism of obesity, aging and type 2 …

The composition and biochemistry of skeletal muscle are altered in obesity and type 2
diabetes mellitus (DM) as compared to nonobese individuals. In health, skeletal muscle has …

In obesity, there is increased nonadipose tissue as well as increased adiposity. The
increase of nonadipose tissue entails an increase in skeletal muscle mass. Recent data …

It has long been recognized that skeletal muscle can contain modest stores of triglyceride
and that this depot of fuel can make a major contribution to energy production during …

Intramyocellular triglycerides (imcTG) of skeletal muscle are an important energy source for
muscle work in mammals. However, the metabolism and regulation of this small intracellular …

Recent evidence derived from four independent methods indicates that an excess
triglyceride storage within skeletal muscle is linked to insulin resistance. Potential …

To determine the extent and microanatomical distribution of extramyocellular adipocytes
associated with skeletal muscle, histological, biochemical, nuclear magnetic resonance …
