Changes in abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue phenotype following menopause is associated with increased visceral fat mass
Abstract Menopause is associated with a redistribution of adipose tissue towards central adiposity, known to cause insulin resistance. In this cross-sectional study of 33 women between 45 and 60 years, we assessed adipose tissue inflammation and morphology in subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) and vi...
