CONTEXT: Epicardial adipose tissue has been recently recognized as a source of bioactive molecules as well as free fatty acids, adiponectin, and inflammatory cytokines. Epicardial fat reflects intraabdominal visceral fat, and the echocardiographic assessment of this tissue is an easy and reliable marker of visceral adiposity. OBJECTIVE: In this study we evaluated whether epicardial adipose tissue is related to insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism in obese subjects. PATIENTS: Thirty obese subjects (20 women and 10 men; mean age, 40.8 +/- 11.5 yr; body mass index, 43 +/- 9.1 kg/m2) were included in this study. No subject was taking drugs or had a history or evidence of metabolic, cardiovascular, respiratory, or hepatic disease. MAIN OUT...
