May guide visceral adiposity prevention during weight gain; supports adipose expandability theory yet remains hypothesis-generating.
Do the characteristics of subcutaneous adipose tissue influence the partition of lipids toward abdominal visceral fat depots during weight gain in healthy men?
Defective regulation of lipid storage genes in subcutaneous adipose tissue contributes to visceral fat accumulation during early weight gain, supporting the adipose tissue expandability theory.
Alligier et al. (2013) studied this question.
