TL;DR: It is suggested that weakening the extracellular scaffold of adipocytes enables their stress-free expansion during states of positive energy balance, which is consequently associated with an improved inflammatory profile and implicating “adipose tissue fibrosis” as a hallmark of metabolically challenged adipocytes.

TL;DR: Subcutaneous truncal fat plays a major role in obesity-related insulin resistance in men, whereas intraperitoneal fat and retroperitoneAL fat have a lesser role.

TL;DR: It is concluded that one renal manifestation of insulin resistance may be low urinary ammonium and pH, which can result in increased risk of uric acid precipitation despite normouricosuria.

TL;DR: Results show that Asian Indian men are more insulin resistant than Caucasian men independently of generalized or truncal adiposity, which may account for the excessive morbidity and mortality from diabetes and coronary heart disease in this population.

TL;DR: On September 16, 2012, the National Lipid Association held a Consensus Conference with the goal of better defining the effect of adiposity on lipoproteins, how the pathos of excessive body fat (adiposopathy) contributes to dyslipidemia, and how therapies such as appropriate nutrition, increased physical activity, weight-management drugs, and bariatric surgery might be expected to impact dys Lipidemia.
