Exercise-induced reduction in obesity and insulin resistance in women: a randomized controlled trial.

Objectives: To determine the effects of equivalent diet- or exercise-induced weight loss and exercise without weight loss on subcutaneous fat, visceral fat, and insulin sensitivity in obese women.

Research Methods And Procedures: Fifty-four premenopausal women with abdominal obesity [waist circumference 110.1 +/- 5.

Visceral fat and liver fat are independent predictors of metabolic risk factors in men.

We examined the independent associations among abdominal adipose tissue (AT), liver fat, cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), and lipid variables in 161 Caucasian men who had a wide variation in adiposity. We measured AT and liver fat by computed tomography and CRF by a maximal exercise test on a treadmill. Visceral AT remained a significant (P View Article and Find Full Text PDF
