Our studies support the view that body fat distribution and the accompanying metabolic
abnormalities could be exacerabated by variability in the androgenic/estrogenic balance …

T HE ROLE of inherited and nongenetic factors in individual differences observed in the
level of sc fat on the trunk and abdominal areas and in the abdominal visceral deposit is …

A possible role for increased androgenic/estro-genic activity in the pathogenesis of upper

The effects of body fat distribution on the metabolic clearance rate of insulin (MCR) and its
relationship to peripheral insulin sensitivity (M/I) and androgenic activity were assessed in …

The regulation of adipose tissue distribution is an important problem in view of the close
epidemiological and metabolic associations between centralized fat accumulation and …

In the last fi~ w years, heterogeneity in the pattern of obesity and the metabolic abnormalities
associated with regional excess of adipose tissue have been increasingly recognized …

Adipose tissue distribution in man is dependent on genetic and environmental factors. The
