Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>To determine adipocyte (dys)function in both visceral and subcutaneous adipose<br /><br>tissues in the three different study groups: adipocyte differentiation<br /><br>capacity, insulin sensitivity, and cell surface in the two different adipose<br /><br>tissue depots.<br /><br>To determine the state of inflammation in both visceral and subcutaneous<br /><br>adipose tissues in the three different study groups: measure adipose tissue<br /><br>macrophage and lymphocyte infiltration, characterize the macrophage subsets in<br /><br>the visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue. </p><br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>Anthropometric measurements: BMI and WHR; the circumference of the waist as a<br /><br>measure of degree of abdominal obesity.<br /><br>Plasma levels of: insulin, glucose, free fatty acids, lipids (total<br /><br>triglyceride and total cholesterol with the VLDL, LDL and HDL sub fractions),<br /><br>adipokines (adiponectin, leptin etc.) and cytokines (IL-1, IL-6, IL-8, MCP-1,<br /><br>TNF-a etc.).<br /><br>Activation state of thrombocytes as a surrogate marker for cardiovascular risk.</p><br>
