Higher in vivo adipose cell turnover is positively associated with BMI and VAT/TAT.
Practitioners should consider the role of adipose cell turnover in assessing metabolic health in obese individuals.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Our results challenge the AT expandability hypothesis and suggest that higher in vivo adipose cell turnover is positively associated with BMI and VAT/TAT.
