Objective: We aimed to examine the effect of age of obesity onset, sex, and their interaction on abdominal and femoral subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) morphology (degree of adipocyte hyperplasia or hypertrophy). Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we isolated adipocytes via collagenase dig ...

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of age of obesity onset on senescence-related markers in abdominal (AB) and femoral (FEM) subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) before and after moderate (~10%) weight loss. Methods: AB and FEM SAT were collected from human females with ch ...

Body mass index is poor at distinguishing between adiposity and muscle. Based on dual energy X-ray absorptiometry data, a diagnostic framework to analyze body composition by categorizing fat- and muscle-mass body composition into four phenotypes has been proposed. The objective of this study was to assess the association between body-composition phenotype ...

Objective: Classifying adiposity based on dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) muscle and fat mass phenotypes has been proposed. Whether these phenotypes are more accurate in predicting cardiometabolic risk than BMI weight status is unknown. Methods: Data were from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES; 1999-2006 cycles, n = 5,47 ...

Fatty acid desaturase 1 (FADS1) polymorphisms alter fatty acid content in subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT); however, existing evidence is limited and conflicting regarding the association between FADS1 variants and SAT inflammatory status. To advance this area, we conducted an exploratory study ...

Objective: The inflammatory environment in lower-body subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) has been largely unexplored. This study aimed to examine the effects of region (upper body vs. lower body) and sex on SAT immune cell profiles in young adults with obesity. Methods: Abdominal (AB) and femoral (FEM) SAT was collected from 12 males (mean [SEM] age = 30. ...

Introduction: Accurate comparisons of carotid--femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) within and across studies require standardized procedures. Guidelines suggest reporting the average of at least two cfPWV measurements; if the difference exceeds 0.5 m/s, a third measurement should be taken, and th ...

The ability to accurately identify and quantify immune cell populations within adipose tissue is important in understanding the role of immune cells in metabolic disease risk. Flow cytometry is the gold standard method for immune cell quantification. However, quantification of immune cells from a ...

Although childhood-onset obesity (CO) and adult-onset obesity (AO) are known to lead to distinctive clinical manifestations and disease risks, the fundamental differences between them are largely unclear. The aim of the current study is to investigate the fundamental differences between subcutaneous adipose tissue from CO and AO and identify metabolic dif ...
