Weight loss intervention improves body composition and alters metabolic biomarkers
intra-abdominal adipose, weight loss, TG
Following the weight loss intervention there were significant reductions in total and regional AT depots in the WLG, without effects in the WMG (interaction between group and time, Associations between weight loss–induced changes in adipose tissues, ectopic fat, and markers of glucose metabolism. Two-tailed Pearson correlation analyses. When indicated, an area under the curve was derived from the OGTT. Some variables were log-transformed to facilitate visualization of the associations. Delta was calculated by subtracting the value after weight loss intervention from the value before intervention. Abbreviations: IAAT, intra-abdominal adipose tissue; BW, body weight; SAT, subcutaneous adipose tissue. Only individuals from weight-lowering group (WLG) are included (The amount of intra-abdominal AT at baseline correlated with the reduction in this AT depot following weight loss (In parallel to changes in body composition, fasting plasma concentrations of glucose, TG, TC, and LDL cholesterol presented small but significant reductions (
