VAT Fat May Cause Pathogenic Obesityby Neuroscience News |
Study reports type 2 diabetes and other obesity related health disorders depend on how the body stores excess fat. Researchers report visceral adipose tissue may be a cause of pathogenic obesity.
Visceral fat is nature’s super band-aid. Sometimes called “the abdominal policeman,” a VAT-rich structure called the omentum, a loosely hanging fold of the membrane lining the abdominal cavity, sticks to wounds, foreign objects such as shrapnel and infection sites like a bandage full of antibiotics.
