Lower levels of plasma syndecan-4 are associated with loss of body weight and fat-free mass after bariatric surgery
ObjectiveBariatric surgery induces a significant loss of both fat mass (FM) and fat-free mass (FFM). The proteoglycan receptor syndecan-4 (SDC4)...

Physical activity and arterial stiffness: is body fat a mediator?
PurposePhysical activity (PA) and body fat percentage (%BF) are independently associated with arterial stiffness, but it has not been explored if...

Identification of novel genes whose expression in adipose tissue affects body fat mass and distribution: an RNA-Seq and Mendelian Randomization study
Many studies have shown that abdominal adiposity is more strongly related to health risks than peripheral adiposity. However, the underlying pathways...
