The impact of ethnicity and intra-pancreatic fat on the postprandial metabolome response to whey protein in overweight Asian Chinese and European Caucasian …
The “Thin on the Outside Fat on the Inside” TOFI_Asia study found Asian Chinese to be
more susceptible to Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) compared to European Caucasians matched for
gender and body mass index (BMI). This was influenced by degree of visceral adipose
deposition and ectopic fat accumulation in key organs, including liver and pancreas, leading
to altered fasting plasma glucose, insulin resistance, and differences in plasma lipid and
metabolite profiles. It remains unclear how intra-pancreatic fat deposition (IPFD) impacts …
