Cross-Sectional and longitudinal MR-based evaluation of fat depots in subjects with obesity and risk factors for type 2 diabetes mellitus

Year: 2018

Type: dissertation

Abstract: The present thesis is based on two studies. It is about interaction between different adipose tissues (cross-sectional study) and changes in adipose tissues within a dietary intervention (longitudinal study). For the cross-sectional study patients with an impaired glucose tolerance were recruited, for the longitudinal study obese women. Subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue as well as liver- and bone marrow fat were examined for the studies. MR-imaging was used for subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue quantification, MR spectroscopy for liver- and bone marrow fat quantification.
