Figure 3
The relationship between visceral fat area and residual differences between sex-specific REE/palmitate release (flux) rate relationships for men and women are shown. In men visceral fat area showed a significant, positive relationship (r = 0.45, P < 0.05) with the residual palmitate flux values. In women visceral fat area was not correlated with the residual palmitate flux values; neither were percentage of body fat, WHR, or fat cell size.
