Superficial vs Deep Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue: Sex-Specific Associations With Hepatic Steatosis and Metabolic Traits.

Context: Subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) is not homogeneous, as the fascia scarpa separates the deep SAT (dSAT) from the superficial SAT (sSAT).

Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the sex-specific associations of sSAT and dSAT with hepatic steatosis and metabolic syndrome in overweight individuals.

Methods: We recruited 285 individuals with a body mass index (BMI) greater than or equal to 27 and aged 55 to 81 years.

Noninvasive Quantitative Assessment of Hepatic Steatosis by Proton Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Among Adult Patients Receiving Home Parenteral Nutrition.

Background: Intestinal failure-associated liver disease is a frequent complication in patients with chronic intestinal failure (CIF), with steatosis as a dominant feature in adults. Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) is a noninvasive method to quantify liver fat content (LFC). In this study, LFC was assessed with 1H-MRS, taking into account the possible accumulation of paramagnetic components of home parenteral nutrition (HPN) that may disturb these measurements.
