for the automatic and robust segmentation of adipose tissue in the abdominal region of human men. The segmentation is done into 3 classes: subcutaneous adipose tissue, visceral adipose tissue and other tissue. The MRI of ...

a method for automatically segmenting abdominal adipose tissue from 3-dimensional magnetic resonance images. The segmentation dis- tinguishes between three types of adipose tissue; visceral adipose tissue, deep subcutaneous adipose ...
Assessment of Abdominal Adipose Tissue and Organ Fat Content by Magnetic Resonance Imaging Houchun-slice approaches are highlighted. Typical post-processing procedures for extracting adipose tissue depot volumes; adipose tissue INTRODUCTION The ...
The adipose tissue metabolism is dependent on its blood perfusion. During lipid mobilization e.g. during exercise and during lipid deposition e.g. postprandial, adipose tissue blood flow is increased. This increase in blood flow may involve capillary recruitment in the tissue. We investigated ...

The dyslipidemia classically associated with abdominal obesity is characterised by a metabolic atherogenic triad including an elevation of triglycerides, a low HDL-cholesterol and an excess of small dense LDL fractions. All of these lipid anomalies contribute to an increased cardio-metabolic risk, and are engendered by an excess of visceral adipose ...
fat voxels using normalized convolution [5]. The abdominal adipose tissue was then segmented into three different types: subcutaneous, intraabdominal and retroperitoneal adipose tissue by registering. The registration result was then used to classify each voxel into one of the three different ...
The objective of the present study was to assess the relationship between lifestyle factors and abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) in a community-based setting. Cross-sectional associations between lifestyle factors (dietary quality, physical ...

Although an inverse relationship between abdominal adiposity and pulmonary function has been suggested, direct measurement of abdominal adipose tissue has rarely been attempted. Our object is to determine the impact of abdominal adiposity on pulmonary ...

Frequent sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) intake has been consistently associated with increased adiposity and cardio-metabolic risk, whereas the association with diet beverages is more mixed. We examined how these beverages associate with regional abdominal adiposity measures, specifically visceral adipose ...
The effect of overweight status on the expression of SREBP-1c and downstream lipogenic genes, such as ATP citrate lyase (ACL) and fatty acid synthase (FAS), in abdominal adipose and liver tissues was determined in cats using a diet-induced weight gain model. ACL and SREBP-1c mRNA expression was significantly reduced (?65% and 20%, ...
Loss of SAT and an increase in VAT are common with HIV lipodystrophy. Excess abdominal VAT is a known risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Computerized axial tomography (CT) can be used to measure SAT and VAT areas in cross-sectional images of the abdomen. The ideal site(s) and number of abdomina...
