Aim: To clarify what arises from the decease of visceral adiposity in Japanese diabetic patients with visceral fat accumulation.
Patients: Diabetic patients (n=30) whose visceral fat areas (V), determined with abdominal CT, were larger than 100 cm2.
Methods: V was followed at every 6 month, and clinical profiles and course were compared of eight patients (group D), whose changes of V(ΔV=(V at the second exam or more)−(V at the first exam)) were under the (mean - S.D.) of ΔV, with of the other patients (group C).
Results: In group D, at the beginning V was larger, frequency of fatty liver and serum concentrations of TG and LDL-C were higher, insulin therapy was fewer, and fibrates were used more than in group C, during the following BMI was decreased, frequency of more than 5000 steps/day was increased, A1C (NGSP %) was decreased, and use of ACEI/ARB was increased, though diastolic pressure was decreased in group C, and at the ending serum TG was yet higher than in group C.
Discussion: As V was decreased, body weight was decreased and the metabolism of glucose and lipids were improved. Increase of ADL was important for decrease of visceral adiposity.

Relationship between visceral fat area (V) and the change of V (ΔV). In y axis, the crossing level with x axis shows the mean of ΔV, and the level of −45 is the (mean-S.D.) of ΔV.
