“For example, white adipose tissue has been associated with inflammation, and in breast cancer patients, has been associated with worse prognosis. Fat exists both under the skin and deeper inside the body surrounding internal organs (called visceral fat).”

“Similarly, hepatic inflammation, fibrosis, and apoptosis were also decreased during ascorbic acid-induced inhibition of visceral obesity. In addition, serum levels of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, total cholesterol, and LDL cholesterol were lower in HFD-AA-fed mice than in those of HFD-fed mice.”

“A simple waist measurement explained differences in total testosterone about as well as measuring visceral fat with a body scan. Fat tissue contains aromatase, an enzyme that converts testosterone into estradiol, a form of estrogen.”

“People with higher than normal levels of visceral fat also had significantly higher levels of these pieces of DNA and this also associated with insulin resistance. Here is a press release for the study: http://medicalxpress.com/news/2016-03-results-cell-free-dna-involved-inflammation.html”

“Sulforaphane from broccoli sprouts causes 20% visceral fat loss by changing gut bacteria and increasing mitochondria in fat in mice. The mice fed sulforaphane also lowered fatty liver and reduced blood glucose levels.”

“These results point to a weight-independent effect related to how fat is distributed in the body. Visceral fat is closely linked to metabolic dysfunction because it is more biologically active and releases fatty acids and inflammatory signals to key metabolic organs such as the liver.”

“Cardiovascular health: TRE may lower blood pressure and improve lipid profiles along with other cardiometabolic risk factors like HbA1c. Body composition: TRE reduces waist size, body fat percentage, and visceral fat levels.”

“00:38:33 - The fasting-mimicking diet as a boon for the psychology of weight loss where, due to its cyclical nature, adherents can enjoy potential benefits like the reduction of harmful fat known as visceral fat while sparing subcutaneous fat and lean mass, without completely overhauling all other areas of their life the rest of the time.”

“Visceral fat (the deeper abdominal fat stored around internal organs) showed a clearer decrease in the CR group, although this effect was not consistent across all analyses the researchers performed. Total testosterone dropped in both intervention groups.”
