From: Enlarged adipocytes from subcutaneous vs. visceral adipose tissue differentially contribute to metabolic dysfunction and atherogenic risk of patients with obesity

Figure 5

Adipocytes characteristics and cardiovascular risk. The diagram describes a proposed model, based on the results of adipocytes size/source, potential interactions with metabolic mediators and pathophysiological effects. SAT, subcutaneous adipose tissue; VAT, visceral adipose tissue; HbA1c, glycated hemoglobin; RES, resistin; ADIPON, adiponectin; INS, insulin; HDLc; high density lipoprotein cholesterol; FMD, flow mediated dilation; CIMT, carotid intima media thickness.
