A bstract : Extent of intra‐abdominal fat had significant linear relations with six metabolic coronary risk factors: systolic and diastolic blood pressure, fasting blood concentrations of glucose, high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, triglyceride, and plasminogen activator inhibitor‐1. Tumor necrosis factor‐α and adiponectin can be biological mediators from the intra‐abdominal fat to the metabolic coronary risk factors. Complementarily, we describe a new study that will analyze the gene expression in intra‐abdominal and subcutaneous fat on mRNA and protein level using high throughput methods. The study will elucidate further whether intra‐abdominal obesity is the common denominator for the different components of the metabolic syndrome.
