The role of fat topology in the risk of disease

Abstract

Clustering of multiple risk factors such as impaired glucose metabolism, lipid disorders and hypertension has been shown to be the major background of atherosclerotic diseases, and disease entities such as the metabolic syndrome represent a highly atherogenic state. Although these common risks may generally co-exist by accident in one individual, clustering of multiple risk factors in the metabolic syndrome does not occur by accident, and there should be a key player for the syndrome. In 1983, we reported the method for fat analysis using computed tomography scan, which enables us to analyze intra-abdominal visceral adiposity as well as subcutaneous fat. Visceral fat accumulation has been shown to cause impaired glucose metabolism, lipid disorders, and hypertension, and therefore it is considered to be a key player in the metabolic syndrome. To clarify the mechanism by which visceral fat accumulation causes a variety of metabolic and vascular diseases, we studied the molecular characteristics of adipose tissue and adipocytes by investigating expressed genes in visceral and subcutaneous adipocytes and revealed that adipocytes, especially visceral adipocytes, secrete a variety of bioactive substances, the so-called adipocytokines...Continue Reading
