Adipocytokines in ct determined visceral versus subcutaneous obesity

ABSTRACT

Objectives: [1] To measure the fat present in the visceral and subcutaneous depots by both anthropometric measurement and computed tomographic imaging [CT] of the abdomen. [2]To correlate these values to mean alterial blood pressure [MABP], indices of insulin sensitivity [fasting plasma glucose and insulin, glycated hemoglobin.[HbA1C]. and hemeostasis model HOMA] index], the lipid profile and to serum adlpocytokmes [admponectin, resistin assessments and plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 PAI-1]
