Background And Objectives: Types and amounts of nutrients may influence the volume of subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) and visceral adipose tissue (VAT). This study targeted to investigate the relationship between SAT and VAT volumes and macro- and micronutrients intake among adults.
Methods And Study Design: Data were collected via a private face-to-face interview, in which diet history was obtained using validated quantitative food frequency questionnaire.
Background And Aim: This relatively comprehensive and multi-parametric study was conducted to investigate an association between hepatic fat percentage (HFP) values measured using high-field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), anthropometric and biochemical measurements in healthy adults.
Methods: Abdominal MRI, anthropometric and biochemical measurements were determined in 156 healthy subjects. HFP values were derived from the MRI, whilst routine lipids, leptin, resistin, IL6 and adiponectin were measured by routine methods.
Aims: To measure the level of leptin in volunteers and correlate it with several anthropometric, biochemical variables and abdominal fat volumes.
Methods: The level of leptin was investigated in 167 disease-free volunteers. Serum levels of IL-6, adiponectin, and resistin, blood lipid profile (cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and triglyceride (TG) were determined.
Background: To measure the abdominal subcutaneous fat (SF) and visceral fat (VF) volumes using high-field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and to investigate their association with selected anthropometric and biochemical parameters among obese and nonobese apparently healthy participants.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted by recruiting 167 healthy participants. Abdominal scans were acquired at 3T MRI, and the SF and VF were segmented and their volumes were calculated.
