Influence of body fat distribution on free fatty acid metabolism in obesity.
Open accessAbstract
UNLABELLED: In order to determine whether differences in body fat distribution result in specific abnormalities of free fatty acid (FFA) metabolism, palmitate turnover, a measure of systemic adipose tissue lipolysis, was measured in 10 women with upper body obesity, 9 women with lower body obesity, and 8 nonobese women under overnight postabsorptive (basal), epinephrine stimulated and insulin suppressed conditions. RESULTS: Upper body obese women had greater (P less than 0.005) basal palmitate turnover than lower body obese or nonobese women (2.8 +/- 0.2 vs. 2.1 +/- 0.2 vs. 1.8 +/- 0.2 mumol.kg lean body mass (LBM)-1.min-1, respectively), but a reduced (P less than 0.05) net lipolytic response to epinephrine (59 +/- 7 vs. 79 +/- 5 vs. 81 +/- 7 mumol palmitate/kg LBM, respectively). Both types of obesity were associated with impaired suppression of FFA turnover in response to euglycemic hyperinsulinemia compared to nonobese women (P less than 0.005). These specific differences in FFA metabolism may reflect adipocyte heterogeneity, which may in turn affect the metabolic aberrations associated with different types of obesity. These findings emphasize the need to characterize obese subjects before studies.

Upper-body obesity features an unusually high release of nonesterified fatty acids from adipose tissue, which contributes to lipid accumulation outside adipose tissue.
“An interesting feature of upper-body obesity is an unusually high release of nonesterified fatty acids from adipose tissue 12,14,28 ; this contributes to accumulation of lipid in sites other than adipose tissue.”

A pattern of abdominal or upper-body obesity correlates more strongly with insulin resistance and the metabolic syndrome than lower-body obesity does.
“Regardless of the relative contributions of visceral fat and abdominal subcutaneous fat to insulin resistance, a pattern of abdominal (or upper-body) obesity correlates more strongly with insulin resistance and the metabolic syndrome than does lower-body obesity.28”

“Because obesity is characterized by elevated fatty acid levels (Horowitz et al., 1999; Jensen et al., 1989), the fact that fatty acids can stimulate a receptor that activates inflammatory pathways provides a potentially important link between obesity, inflammation, and insulin resistance.”

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.
