Abstract

The storage of triglyceride (TG) droplets in nonadipose tissues is called ectopic fat storage. Ectopic fat is associated with insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Not the triglycerides per se but the accumulation of intermediates of lipid metabolism in organs, such as the liver, skeletal muscle, and heart seem to disrupt metabolic processes and impair organ function. We describe the mechanisms of ectopic fat depositions in the liver, skeletal muscle, and in and around the heart and the consequences for each organs function. In addition, we systematically reviewed the literature for the effects of diet-induced weight loss and exercise on ectopic fat depositions.

Statistics

Figure 1 Ectopic fat depositions. Gene-environment interactions might be involved both in increased energy intake and decreased physical activity as well as in the response of adipose tissue to the ensuing increased energy balanced. Predisposed subjects will elicit a pathophysiologic response leading to adipocyte hypertrophy. This will lead to an inflammatory response that ultimately leads to ectopic fat deposition. The consequences of ectopic fat are organ specific as depicted in this figure. The effect of ectopic fat on the cellular level is different and depicted in Figure 2.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
