The role of fat topology in the risk of disease by Life Extension Some research suggests visceral adiposity secretes more resistin (decreases insulin sensitivity), while subcutaneous fat expresses more adiponection (enhances insulin sensitivity). New perspectives on insulin: contributing influences on body fat and ... by Teta, Jade; Teta, Keoni / Townsend Letter As much recent research has already indicated, the survey, which was called the International Day for Evaluation of Abdominal Obesity (IDEA) study, indicated that measuring waist circumference was probably an accurate gauge of visceral adiposity and that it was therefore predictive of a person's risk from weight-related conditions.
