“In female mice, the removal of visceral fat was significantly related to a reduction in intestinal tumors, but calorie restriction was not. In male mice, calorie restriction had a significant effect on intestinal tumors, but removal of visceral fat did not.”

“Visceral adipose tissue is fat that is stored in the abdominal cavity near the liver, pancreas, and intestines. Evidence suggests that pericardial and visceral fat produce adipokines, cell-signaling molecules that drive metabolic dysfunction.”

“Visceral fat is fat stored in the abdomen and is associated with insulin resistance, elevated triglycerides, and fatty liver. This is in contrast to fat stored in the lower body, called subcutaneous fat, which is not associated with metabolic dysfunction.”

“Visceral fat promotes chronic low-grade inflammation and releases immune signals that can alter brain circuits involved in mood regulation. By contrast, fitness and muscle mass may promote resilience by supporting healthier stress responses.”

“When non-human primates were fed a high-fat diet and given daily resveratrol for two-years (80 milligrams per day for the first year, then 480 milligrams per day for the second year) they exhibited increased SIRT1 expression, decreased inflammation due to diminished levels of NF-κB, decreased adipocyte (fat cell) size, and improved insulin sensitivity in visceral adipose tissue.”

“One area where metformin didn't interfere was body composition—body weight dropped in all groups by around 2–6 lb, body fat percentage decreased by about 1% on average, and waist circumference (a marker of visceral fat) decreased by about 2–3 cm.”

“Subcutaneous fat tissue lies just under the skin and is generally considered metabolically less harmful than visceral fat. Both groups experienced lower resting heart rate and lower diastolic blood pressure. Body mass index decreased modestly in both groups.”

“AgeAccelGrim showed strong associations with time-to-death, coronary heart disease, cancer, fatty liver, visceral fat, age at menopause, and comorbidity count. DNAm PAI-1 was especially strongly linked to lifespan, type 2 diabetes, and comorbidity.”

“Greater visceral abdominal fat was independently associated with increased markers of cerebral small vessel disease in participants without a history of symptomatic cerebrovascular disease.”

“Using data from more than 2,300 adults, GrimAge accurately predicted time-to-death, time-to-coronary heart disease, time-to-cancer, and age-at-menopause and closely aligned with computed tomography data for fatty liver disease and excess visceral fat.”
