Cellular Dynamics of Subcutaneous Fat Distribution in Obese Women — Apple/Pear  

Obesity Clinical Trial

Official title:
Cellular Dynamics of Subcutaneous Fat Distribution in Obese Women

Clinical Trial Summary

The body shape of obese women varies between having the majority of fat either above the waist ("apple" shape) or below the waist ("pear" shape). The study will investigate what restricts: apple"-shaped women from being "pear"-shaped at the cellular level. Since "pear" shaped women tend to have better health, this study will open the door to future research in regulating body shape and thus improving health.

Clinical Trial Description

Adipose tissue expandability and the distribution of stored fat in the body are stronger predictors of health risk. A better understanding of the factors that determine regional fat mass growth may lead to developing new strategies for prevention or treatment of metabolic complications of obesity. The objective of this proposal is to study the responsiveness of different fat depots to adipogenic stimulation in upper-body and lower-body obese women. ;
