Adiposeness
Definition:
(n.) Alt. of Adiposity
Example Sentences:
(1) To estimate the age of onset of these differences, and to assess their relationship to abdominal and gluteal adipocyte size, we measured adiposity, adipocyte size, and glucose and insulin concentrations during a glucose tolerance test in lean (less than 20% body fat), prepubertal children from each race.
(2) Subcutaneous adipose tissue extracellular glucose was investigated in vivo in man with a microdialysis technique.
(3) There was also a significant increase in the mitochondrial proton conductance pathway of brown adipose tissue, assessed from the binding of guanosine diphosphate (GDP) to mitochondria isolated from the interscapular (89% above control) and perirenal and para-aortic depots (130%).
(4) The results obtained on fat cell membranes from abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue demonstrated the following.
(5) GC using the capillary columns proved suitable for mapping of the carbohydrate profile of human seminal fluid and for the analyses of organic compounds accumulating in human adipose tissue.
(6) In combined groups of male runners and controls, there was a highly significant positive correlation between the serum HDL-cholesterol level and the LPL activity of adipose tissue expressed per tissue weight (r = +0.72, p less than 0.001) or per whole body fat (r = +0.62, p less than 0.001).
