adiposity

There are however several other common ways to measure the amount of adiposity or fat present in an individual's body.

A study in mice showed that a high fructose intake may increase adiposity.

These lesions were also shown to induce sleepiness and adiposity.

To date, only leptin and insulin are known to act as adiposity signals.

Dietary calcium and dairy modulation of adiposity and obesity risk.

Insufficient sleep undermines dietary efforts to reduce adiposity.

Regulation of adiposity and obesity risk by dietary calcium: mechanisms and implications.

Obesity, in particular visceral adiposity, is positively correlated with insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.

This increased body weight, and adiposity (fatness).

With respect to visceral adiposity, a great deal of evidence suggests two strong links with insulin resistance.

The SUM provides a single measure of subcutaneous adiposity.

Smad3-knockout mice have diminished adiposity, with improved glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity.

These changes are believed to be due to increasing rates of adiposity leading to increased acceptance of extra body fat as being normal.

In contrast, areas of significant adiposity can develop extremely deep stage III pressure ulcers.

Conversely, serum resistin levels have been found to decline with decreased adiposity following medical treatment.

The development of a pathogenetically based adiposity therapy].

African American women are much more likely to be overweight or obese than white women, but are generally less dissatisfied with their adiposity.

The underlying belief among those in support of this theory is that serum resistin levels will increase with increased adiposity.

The new measure, called body adiposity index (BAI), does, he says.

Conclusions Diet-induced obesity led to significant increases in body weight and adiposity and to the development of glucose intolerance.

Adrenarche also occurs prematurely in many children who are overweight, suggesting a possible relationship with body mass or adiposity signals.

STR is an index of relative distribution of central subcutaneous adiposity.

This data suggests that ghrelin functions as an adiposity signal, a messenger between the body's energy stores and the brain (Schwartz, 2000).

Subcutaneous fat can be measured using body fat calipers giving a rough estimate of total body adiposity.

Increased adiposity (obesity) raises serum resistin levels, which in turn directly correlate to insulin resistance.
