Fat Depots and Metabolic Syndrome Risk in Black African Young Adults

Metabolic syndrome is a group of risk factors — increased blood pressure, a high blood sugar level, excess body fat around the waist, and abnormal cholesterol levels — that occur together, increasing risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Several studies have shown that abdominal visceral adipose tissue (VAT) accumulation plays an important role in…

Lipid Degradation Differs in Active, Lean, and Type 2 Diabetic Males

Athletes and type 2 diabetic patients represent opposite extremes of the insulin sensitivity spectrum. However, both groups have elevated levels of intramyocellular lipid content. This apparent ambiguity, known as the “athlete’s paradox”, has drawn attention to the mechanisms that rule lipid storage, packaging, and degradation. While most research has been focusing on the protein perilipin…

Obesity and Hippocampal Atrophy

Recent data shows that worldwide obesity has more than doubled since 1980. In 2014, almost 2 billion adults were overweight and of these, over 600 million were obese (World Health Organization). Evidence indicates that obesity is not only a major risk factor for conditions such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and musculoskeletal disorders, but also a…
