Journal ArticleDOI

Age-related increase in visceral adipose tissue and body fat and the metabolic risk profile of premenopausal women.

TL;DR: It is suggested that even before the onset of menopause there is an age-related deterioration in the metabolic risk profile and an increase in visceral AT deposition in middle-aged women compared with young control subjects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Skeletal muscle histochemical and biochemical characteristics in sedentary male and female subjects.

TL;DR: The results indicate that sedentary males exhibit a lower mean value of percent fiber type I and higher glycolytic enzyme activities than sedentary females and confirm the presence of an important metabolic heterogeneity independent of the muscle fiber type distribution in sedentary male and female subjects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Blood lipid response to 20 weeks of supervised exercise in a large biracial population: The HERITAGE Family Study

TL;DR: The effects of 20 weeks of supervised cycle-ergometer exercise on plasma lipids in 675 healthy, sedentary, normolipidemic white and black men and women aged 17 to 65 years, participating in the HERITAGE Family Study were studied.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sex differences in inflammatory markers: what is the contribution of visceral adiposity?

TL;DR: The higher CRP concentrations found in women appear to be due to their greater accumulation of subcutaneous fat than that observed in men, and a multivariate model of the whole sample found that both SAT and VAT and the sex x SAT interaction term were significant correlates of CRP and IL-6 concentrations.
