@article{Tchernof2013PathophysiologyOH, title={Pathophysiology of human visceral obesity: an update.}, author={A. Tchernof and J. Despr{\'e}s}, journal={Physiological reviews}, year={2013}, volume={93 1}, pages={ 359-404 } }
Excess intra-abdominal adipose tissue accumulation, often termed visceral obesity, is part of a phenotype including dysfunctional subcutaneous adipose tissue expansion and ectopic triglyceride storage closely related to clustering cardiometabolic risk factors. Hypertriglyceridemia; increased free fatty acid availability; adipose tissue release of proinflammatory cytokines; liver insulin resistance and inflammation; increased liver VLDL synthesis and secretion; reduced clearance of triglyceride… Expand
