To determine whether nutritive blood flow and tissue metabolism in subcutaneous adipose tissue correlate with skin-fold thickness in healthy, normal-weight individuals.
Evaluated 16 young, healthy, normal-weight participants (8 men, 8 women).
Measured abdominal subcutaneous adipose thickness using skin-fold calipers.
Assessed basal and isoproterenol-stimulated blood flow and interstitial metabolites using microdialysis coupled with the ethanol dilution technique.
Skin-fold thickness increases (15 to 45 mm in men; 8 to 37 mm in women) linearly increased the basal ethanol ratio from 0.19 to 0.63 in men and 0.25 to 0.75 in women, reflecting reduced blood flow (p < 0.05).
Dialysate concentrations decreased linearly with increasing thickness for glucose (1.95 to 0.24 mM in men; 1.68 to 0.29 mM in women) and glycerol (152 to 42 µM in men; 172 to 49 µM in women) (p < 0.05).
Isoproterenol-stimulated blood flow exhibited a significant inverse correlation with subcutaneous skin-fold thickness (p < 0.05).

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Implication

Physiological study demonstrates reduced adipose blood flow and metabolism with increased skin-fold thickness in normal-weight adults, suggesting tissue depth regulates local perfusion.
