This study highlights the relationship between adipose
deposition, adipokine secretion and intestinal
inflammation using obese and non-obese patients with
diverticular disease. DIXON imaging was used to
determine VAT, SAT and TAT amounts and these volumes
were compared to concentrations of adiponectin, leptin
and calprotectin. These novel insights will help improve
our understanding of the relationship between visceral
fat, obesity and inflammation.
