Time Course of Change in Ectopic Fat Stores After Bariatric Surgery

More than body mass index (BMI), adiposity distribution in visceral area and in ectopic sites likely plays an important role in the obesity-related risk. Myocardial triglyceride content (MTGC), hepatic triglyceride content (HTGC), and pancreatic triglyceride content (PTGC) can be measured in humans...

Description
Summary:More than body mass index (BMI), adiposity distribution in visceral area and in ectopic sites likely plays an important role in the obesity-related risk. Myocardial triglyceride content (MTGC), hepatic triglyceride content (HTGC), and pancreatic triglyceride content (PTGC) can be measured in humans by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1).
