Objective Surgical manipulations of adipose tissue by removal, or partial lipectomy, have
demonstrated body fat compensation and recovered body weight, suggesting that the body …

Increased adiposity has been associated to worse metabolic profile, cardiovascular disease,
and mortality. There are two main adipose tissue depots in the body, subcutaneous and …

The regulation of body weight/fat was studied by investigating mechanisms for
compensatory adipose tissue growth after removal of bilateral epididymal fat pads from male …

Direct tests of the hypothesized total body fat regulatory system have been accomplished by
partial surgical lipectomy. This usually results in the restoration of the lipid deficit through …

Increased visceral adiposity is a risk factor for metabolic disorders such as dyslipidemia,
hypertension, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, whereas peripheral (subcutaneous) …

This chapter explores surgically applicable anatomical, compositional, and diverse
physiologic properties of adipose tissue and their effects on outcomes after body contouring …

Background: Obesity is a fundamental factor in metabolic disorders such as hyperlipidemia,
insulin resistance, fatty liver, and atherosclerosis. However, effective preventive measures …

Surgical removal of body fat (partial lipectomy) is a means of directly reducing fat such that
metabolic and behavioral responses can be readily attributed to the lipid deficit. If total body …

Adipose tissue dysfunction underlies the pathogenesis of metabolic disease. The metrics
used to quantify adiposity and its association with metabolic disease, including body mass …

It has been postulated that the protective effects of lower body subcutaneous adipose tissue
(LBSAT) occur via its ability to sequester surplus lipid and thus serve as a “metabolic sink.” …
