Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To determine adipocyte (dys)function in both visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissues in the three different study groups: adipocyte differentiation capacity, insulin sensitivity, and cell surface in the two different adipose tissue depots. To determine the state of inflammation in both visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissues in the three different study groups: measure adipose tissue macrophage and lymphocyte infiltration, characterize the macrophage subsets in the visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Anthropometric measurements: BMI and WHR; the circumference of the waist as a measure of degree of abdominal obesity. Plasma levels of: insulin, glucose, free fatty acids, lipids (total triglyceride and total cholesterol with the VLDL, LDL and HDL sub fractions), adipokines (adiponectin, leptin etc.) and cytokines (IL-1, IL-6, IL-8, MCP-1, TNF-a etc.). Activation state of thrombocytes as a surrogate marker for cardiovascular risk. | — |
