Quantification
of adipose tissue distribution within the abdomen is
fundamental for investigations in obesity and diabetes. Distribution of fat within the body, and its
accumulation in the abdominal cavity, exert different physiologic effects based
on their anatomical location. Calorie-restriction and exercise interventions
improve obesity risk factors. Fat
accumulation and mobilization can vary depending on the type and quality of fat
in different locations. We have
investigated the quantitative changes in fat volumes at different positions in
the abdomen in diet induced obese rats.
