Subcutaneous adipose tissue assessment may refine insulin resistance evaluation; leaves open targeted intervention trials.
Subcutaneous adipose tissue function, not just visceral fat, is a major contributor to insulin resistance and metabolic complications of obesity.
Patel et al. (2013) conducted a review in Insulin resistance and obesity. Subcutaneous adipose tissue vs. Visceral adipose tissue was evaluated. Subcutaneous adipose tissue plays a significant role in the development of insulin resistance due to its large volume and functional characteristics like decreased adipocyte differentiation.
