Key points Muscle infiltration with adipose tissue (IMAT) is common and associated with loss
of skeletal muscle strength and physical function across a diverse set of pathologies …

Intermuscular adipose tissue (IMAT) is negatively related to insulin sensitivity, but a causal
role of IMAT in the development of insulin resistance is unknown. IMAT was sampled in …

Background Many physiological and/or pathological conditions lead to muscle
deconditioning, a well‐described phenomenon characterized by a loss of strength and …

Muscle's structural composition is an important factor underlying muscle strength and
physical function in older adults. There is an increasing amount of research to support the …

Background and Purpose The primary purpose of this study was to report differences in calf
intermuscular adipose tissue (IMAT), muscle strength (peak torque), power, and physical …

Intermuscular adipose tissue (IMAT) is a distinct adipose depot described in early reports as
a 'fatty replacement'or 'muscle fat infiltration'that was linked to ageing and neuromuscular …

Purpose. People with obesity, diabetes, and peripheral neuropathy have high levels of
intermuscular adipose tissue (IMAT) volume which has been inversely related to physical …

Intermuscular adipose tissue (IMAT) is associated with impaired skeletal muscle contractile
and metabolic function. Myostatin and downstream signaling proteins such as cyclin …

Adipose tissue redistributes during aging resulting in increased intermuscular adipose
tissue (IMAT), intramuscular, and intramyocellular lipid while subcutaneous fat decreases …

Introduction: Intramuscular adipose tissue (IMAT) is a potential contributor to declining force
production and may be related to impaired central activation; therefore, the purpose of this …
