Hormone and Metabolic research. Supplement Series, 1988•europepmc.orgRecent research has shown that statistical correlation of disease is usually stronger to
abdominal distribution of adipose tissue than to obesity. Abdominal distribution of adipose
tissue in women is associated to other male characteristics of muscle tissue mass and
morphology, as well as signs of androgenicity in circulating hormones. Abdominal adipose
tissue is sensitive to lipolytic stimuli. It might be considered that the endocrine aberrations in
combination with elevated concentrations of circulating free fatty acids might cause the …
