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

Larger SAT/VAT adipocytes show distinct cardiometabolic associations in obesity; leaves open causal impact and need for prospective trials before practice change.
Enlarged adipocytes from subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue have distinct associations with metabolic dysfunction and atherogenic risk in obese patients.
Suárez‐Cuenca et al. (2021) studied this question.
