Larger adipocytes, independent of source, were associated with higher glucose, lower adiponectin, and higher CIMT, with subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue showing differential associations with other metabolic and vascular markers.

Why the study?

Morphological characteristics and source of adipose tissue as well as adipokines may increase cardiometabolic risk, prompting investigation into whether adipose tissue characteristics impact metabolic and atherogenic risks.

Population

Sixty obese patients submitted to bariatric surgery

Comparison

Subcutaneous adipose tissue vs visceral adipose tissue and adipocyte size subgroups

Overview

Larger SAT/VAT adipocytes show distinct cardiometabolic associations in obesity; leaves open causal impact and need for prospective trials before practice change.

Structured PICO

P
Population
60 obese patients submitted to bariatric surgery, 36.6% males, aged 44 years-old, BMI 46.7 kg/m2
O
Outcome
Metabolic and atherogenic risks (including glucose, adiponectin, CIMT, FMD, blood pressure, insulin, HDL-cholesterol, resistin)surrogate

Enlarged adipocytes from subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue have distinct associations with metabolic dysfunction and atherogenic risk in obese patients.
