Publication Metadata only Correlation between aortic stiffness and visceral fat determined by magnetic resonance imaging.(2012-02-01) Muenpetch Muenkaew; Thananya Boonyasirinant; Rungroj Krittayaphong; Mahidol UniversityArterial stiffening is an independent predictor for cardiovascular events. Studies using a variety of different techniques have shown that visceral fat accumulation may be related to aortic stiffening. However, there are limited data available about... the study using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The aim of the present study is to assess the correlation of visceral fat to the degree of aortic stiffness as determined by MRI. The present study examined 95 subjects (age 69.14 +/- 9. 76 years, female 50Publication Metadata only Comparison of visceral fat volume and visceral fat area at umbilical level assessed by multislice computed tomography(2019-01-01) S.

Laothamatas; Faculty of Medicine, Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol Universityof intra-abdominal visceral fat volume (VFV) and subcutaneous fat volume (SFV) to the specific zones, which were scanned by a conventional single-slice CT at the level of umbilicus. Materials and Methods: Individuals who underwent a 320-slices coronary CT... cavity was used to measure intra-abdominal VFV. Calculations of subtracting the VFV from the total abdominal fat capacity will equal to the abdominal SFV. In the same way, the intra-abdominal visceral fat areas (VFA) and subcutaneous fat areas (SFA) werePublication Metadata only Adipose Y5R mRNA is higher in obese than non-obese humans and is correlated with obesity parameters(2018-05-01) Saimai Chatree; Chantacha Sitticharoon; Pailin Maikaew; Panapat Uawithya; Supornpim Chearskul; Faculty of Medicine, Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University. The objectives of this study were to compare Y5R mRNA and adipocyte parameters consisting of area, width, height, and perimeter either between obese and non-obese subjects or between subcutaneous and visceral fat as well as to compare between NPY, Y1R, Y2R, and Y... fat accumulation, has been increasingly diagnosed worldwide causing adverse health consequences. The novel findings of this study were that Y5R mRNA expression in both subcutaneous and visceral fat was higher in obese than non-obese subjectsPublication Metadata only Visceral fat and insulin resistance as predictors of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis(2007-07-14) Abhasnee Sobhonslidsuk; Sutipong Jongjirasiri; Ammarin Thakkinstian; Naruemon Wisedopas; Pongamorn Bunnag; Gobchai Puavilai; Mahidol University; Chulalongkorn UniversityAim: To examine whether visceral fat is associated with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), to assess for parameters associated with visceral adiposity and to investigate for factors associated with fibrotic severity in NASH. Methods: Thirty NASH....62; P < 0.001) and visceral fat area > 158 cm2(OR 18.55, 95% CI 1.60-214.67; P = 0.019) were independent predictors for NASH. Advanced stage of NASH was found in 15 (50%) patients.

This study aimed to compare NPY and Y1R mRNA expressions in subcutaneous and visceral fat tissues as well as serum NPY in normal... tissues and was significantly greater in visceral when compared with subcutaneous fat in overall (p. <. 0.01), obese (p. <. 0.05) and normal weight humans (p. <. 0.05). Y1R mRNA expression was higher in obese than normal weight subjects in visceral (pPublication Metadata only Relation of visceral adipose tissue to coronary artery calcium in Thai patients(2020-05-01) S. Jongjirasiri; K. Nimitkul; J. Laothamatas; S. A. Vallibhakara; Faculty of Medicine, Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University© JOURNAL OF THE MEDICAL ASSOCIATION OF THAILAND | 2020. Objective: To determine the relationship among body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), abdominal fat area of visceral (VFA), and subcutaneous fat (SFA) on coronary artery calcium (CAC... of CAC in all patients was 56.7% (67.9% men, 50.3% women). Using multivariate logistic regression analysis adjusting for traditional cardiovascular risk factors and abdominal fat measurement, VFA as visceral to total fat ratio represented an independentItem Metadata only Impact of diet intervention on visceral adipose tissue and hepatic fat in patients with obesity or type 2 diabetes: a randomized trial(2024-12-01) Krittayaphong R.; Treesuwan W.; Pramyothin P.; Songsangjinda T.; Kaolawanich Y.; Srivanichakorn W.; Jangtawee P.; Yindeengam A.; Tanapibunpon P.; Vanavichit A.; Krittayaphong R.; Mahidol UniversityThis study aimed to assess the effects of a diet intervention on visceral and hepatic fat in patients with obesity or type 2 diabetes (T2D). Participants with obesity or T2D were randomized to a diet intervention or their usual diet.... The intervention comprised a “3G rice” regimen combined with a low-salt, high-fiber diet. The primary outcomes were changes in visceral adipose tissue (VAT) area and hepatic fat over 12 weeks assessed by magnetic resonance imaging. Eighty-six patients werePublication Metadata only Interactions between adiponectin, visfatin, and omentin in subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissues and serum, and correlations with clinical and peripheral metabolic factors(2014-01-01) Chantacha Sitticharoon; Nay Chi Nway; Saimai Chatree; Malika Churintaraphan; Peerada Boonpuan; Pailin Maikaew; Mahidol University© 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. Adiponectin, visfatin, and omentin are adipokines involved in insulin sensitivity. This study aimed to determine interactions between these adipokines in subcutaneous and visceral fat and in serum..., and their associations with clinical factors.
