Abstract
It is presently unclear how much visceral adipose tissue (VAT) loss is needed to induce favorable metabolic changes. Cross-sectional studies have proposed that a threshold level of VAT exceeding 110 cm2 in women induces deleterious changes in the metabolic profile. It is presently unclear, however, if significant decreases in VAT below this given threshold significantly improve the metabolic profile more as compared to decreases that remain...
