THE VISCERAL ADIPOCYTE AND CARDIOMETABOLIC RISK FACTORS

André Tchernof

Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

Numerous studies have shown the strong and independent association between fat accumulation on anatomical structures such as the mesentery and greater omentum (i.e., visceral fat accumulation) and risk factors for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease [1]. This strong association suggests a close physiological link between fat cells located within the visceral fat compartments, the visceral adipocytes, and metabolic abnormalities. This brief review will discuss potential mechanisms relating the visceral adipocyte to cardiometabolic risk factors.
