Elevated intramyocellular triglyceride (IMTG) is strongly associated with insulin resistance,
though a cause and effect relationship has not been fully described. Insulin sensitivity and …

Lipin-1 deficiency in the mouse causes generalized lipodystrophy, characterized by
impaired adipose tissue development and insulin resistance. Lipin-1 expression in …

Background: Interrelations between fat distribution, muscle lipid infiltration, adipocytokines,
insulin resistance, and moderate weight loss have not been investigated in obese older …

Objective: Insulin resistance is closely associated with two disparate aspects of lipid storage:
the intracellular lipid content of skeletal muscle and the magnitude of central adipose beds …

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

With the increasing prevalence of obesity, research has focused on the molecular
mechanism (s) linking obesity and skeletal muscle insulin resistance. Metabolic alterations …

Objective: Abdominal fat and myocyte triglyceride levels relate negatively to insulin
sensitivity, but their interrelationships are inadequately characterized in the overweight …

Background The intramuscular fat content (IMF) refers to the amount of fat within muscles,
including the sum of phospholipids mainly found in cell membranes, triglycerides and …

The intramuscular fat (IMF) content of the LM, also known as marbling, is particularly
important in determining the price of beef in Korea, Japan, and the United States. Deposition …

BACKGROUND: Visceral fat (VF) accretion is a hallmark of aging in humans. Epidemiologic
studies have implicated abdominal obesity as a major risk factor for insulin resistance, type 2 …
