Background: Adipose tissue (AT) content of the thigh is generally not considered to be
associated with insulin resistance (IR), but it is unclear whether the distribution of AT in the …

It is well known that visceral adipose tissue (VAT) is associated with insulin resistance (IR).
Considerable debate remains concerning the potential positive effect of thigh subcutaneous …

Whereas truncal (central) adiposity is strongly associated with the insulin resistant metabolic
syndrome, it is uncertain whether this is accounted for principally by visceral adiposity (VAT) …

Whether visceral adipose tissue has a uniquely powerful association with insulin resistance
or whether subcutaneous abdominal fat shares this link has generated controversy in the …

Background: Studies on the relationship between regional fat and insulin resistance yield
mixed results. Our objective was to determine whether regional fat distribution, independent …

Background: The extent to which adipose tissue (AT) distribution is different between
persons with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and nondiabetic control subjects remains unclear …

Insulin resistance (IR) is typically more severe in obese individuals with type 2 diabetes
(T2DM) than in similarly obese non-diabetics but whether there are group differences in …

Recent studies from our group reveal that adipose tissue (AT) in the subcutaneous
abdominal region is the most important determinant of peripheral and hepatic insulin …

We examined the independent relationships among various visceral and abdominal
subcutaneous adipose tissue (AT) depots, glucose tolerance, and insulin sensitivity in 89 …

Objective: The contribution of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) to insulin resistance is well‐
established; however, the role of subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue (SAT) in insulin …
