To ensure that extremes in obesity were represented, subjects were first grouped by gender and second or third generation status. Within each of these groups, subjects were divided into quartiles based on three measures of adipose mass: BMI, total subcutaneous adipose area, and intraabdominal adipose area. Obese subjects were selected to be those who were in the highest quartiles for all three adipose measures (n = 56). Lean subjects were those in the lowest quartiles (n = 62). toner cartridge Of the subjects that remained, those who had measures toner cartridge in the toner cartridge highest intraabdominal adipose quartile (n = 42) and the lowest quartile (n = 29) were selected to assess the effect of a wide range of intraabdominal adipose mass on plasma leptin levels The methodology for assessing regional adipose tissue distribution by CT scanning has been described in detail previously (14).
