Increased postprandial fatty acid trapping in subcutaneous adipose tissue in obese women
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that increased fatty acid trapping by subcutaneous adipose tissue might contribute to the development and/or maintenance of obesity. To do so, venoarterial (V-A) gradients across subcutaneous adipose tissue for triglycerides, glycerol, nonesterified fatty acid (NEFA), and acylation-stimulating protein (ASP) were determined in eight lean females [body mass index (BMI), 22.2 +/- 0.6] and eight obese females (BMI, 34.4 +/- 3.4). Plasma insulin was also measured at intervals throughout this period. Fasting plasma triglyceride was significantly higher in the obese group and postprandial triglyceride was also significantly delayed. In contrast, both triglyceride clearance and fatty acid uptake by subcutaneous adipose tissue were significantly greater in the obese group compared with the lean group. Fasting insulin did not differ between the groups, but postprandial insulin values were significantly higher in the obese group. The pattern of ASP release from subcutaneous adipose tissue also appeared to differ in that it was significantly greater in the early postprandial period (0;-90 min) in the obese group versus the lean group and this correlated with greater triglyceride clearance during this period. Moreover, there were strong, positive correlations between BMI and the V-A gradient for fasting ASP, the 0- to 90-min area under the curve (AUC) for ASP V-A gradient fasting insulin, and the 0- to 90-min AUC for fatty acid incorporation into adipose tissue. Taken together, these data demonstrate that fatty acid trapping by adipose tissue can be increased even when overall plasma triglyceride clearance is delayed. The postprandial pattern of insulin, in particular, was altered in the obese, although it is certainly possible that differences in ASP release or response could also contribute to increased fatty acid trapping in the obese. The data, therefore, suggest that increased fatty acid trapping by adipose tissue may be a feature of some forms of obesity.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
