Aging and metabolism are inextricably linked, and many age-related changes in body
composition, including increased central adiposity and sarcopenia, have underpinnings in …

Obesity and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) represent two
intermingling epidemics driving perhaps the greatest unmet health problem in …

Women have more body fat than men, but in contrast to the deleterious metabolic
consequences of the central obesity typical of men, the pear-shaped body fat distribution of …

Fat distribution is closely linked to metabolic disease risk. Distribution varies with sex,
genetic background, disease state, certain drugs and hormones, development, and aging …

Context: It has been suggested that mitochondrial dysfunction in adipocytes contributes to
obesity-related metabolic complications. However, obesity results in adipocyte hypertrophy …

Rationale: Obstructive sleep apnea is a risk factor for dyslipidemia and atherosclerosis,
which have been attributed to chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH). Intermittent hypoxia inhibits …

There is a strong relationship between metabolism and immunity, which can become
deleterious under conditions of metabolic stress. Obesity, considered a chronic inflammatory …

This study aimed to compare the use of the bioelectrical impedance device (BIA) seca®
mBCA 515 using dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) as a reference method, for body …

Obesity is linked to numerous comorbidities that include, but are not limited to, glucose
intolerance, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and cardiovascular disease. Current evidence …

Animal models have demonstrated that CD36 facilitates cell membrane free fatty acid (FFA)
transport, but its role in human metabolism is not well understood. We measured heart, liver …
