Our previous finding that a waist-to-hip ratio (WHR)> 0.85 was not associated with similar
health risks in black, compared with white, obese premenopausal nondiabetic women of …

ABSTRACT Background: African Americans (AAs) have a higher prevalence of obesity and
type 2 diabetes than do whites. Higher insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia have been …

Objective: Our objective was to delineate the potential role of adipogenesis in insulin
resistance and type 2 diabetes. Obesity is characterized by an increase in adipose tissue …

OBJECTIVE To characterize the relationships among long-term improvements in peripheral
insulin sensitivity (glucose disposal rate [GDR]), fasting glucose, and free fatty acids (FFAs) …

Femoral-gluteal adipose tissue (AT) may be cardioprotective through fatty acids uptake.
Femoral-gluteal AT has previously been defined as leg fat measured by dual energy x-ray …

OBJECTIVE—Compared with nondiabetic subjects, type 2 diabetic subjects are
metabolically inflexible with impaired fasting fat oxidation and impaired carbohydrate …

Adipose tissue lipolysis supplies circulating FFAs, which largely meet lipid fuel needs;
however, excess FFAs, can contribute to the adverse health consequences of obesity …

The lipodystrophy syndrome (adipose tissue redistribution and metabolic abnormalities)
observed with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) during human immunodeficiency …

HIV has classically been a wasting disease. However, in the United States, obesity is
increasingly common among HIV-infected individuals receiving effective antiviral treatment …

The purpose of this randomized controlled clinical trial was to determine the effect of a 14-
week high-intensity interval training (HIIT) intervention with weight stability on metabolic …
