Abstract
In conclusion, mesenteric fat thickness measured on ultrasound showed significant association with carotid IMT, lending further support to the linking role of portal adipose tissue in obesity-related atherosclerosis. Effect of gender on the relationships of mesenteric fat with atherosclerosis risk require further elucidation. Measurement of mesenteric fat thickness may be a useful indicator of regional fat distribution in the assessment of cardiovascular risks.
