In the literature there is much attention on fat distribution
and its relationship to insulin resistance. These pictures show the peritoneal fat grains
directly into the portal circulation and metabolically much more active than subcutaneous
adipose tissue. So, the constant exposure of the liver to free fatty acids being released
in large amounts from this fat may explain the insulin resistance and hyperinsulinaemia of
the centrally obese subjects. |
