VAT volume were only associated with increases in insulin
resistance and disturbances in very-low-density lipoprotein
(VLDL)-TG metabolism when IHTG content was increased
simultaneously [9]. Furthermore, insulin sensitivity was lower
and VLDL secretion was higher in obese subjects with a high
IHTG content (.5.5% of liver volume), matched on VAT volume
[8]. No differences were observed between subjects with a high
VAT volume (.1 100 cm3) but similar IHTG content [8].
