Abstract
Normal-weight but high-percentage trunk fat phenotype was characterized in a setting where adiposity is not associated with educational and socioeconomic status. Body size trajectory since birth, current body composition measured using whole-body dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, cardiometabolic traits, serum adipokines, and dietary intake were measured cross-sectionally in 251 normal weight Japanese female university students whose fasting triglyceride and homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) averaged 56 mg/dL and 1.2, respectively. They were grouped according to tertile of percentage trunk fat. Although HOMA-IR did not differ among three groups, high-percentage trunk fat was associated with higher triglyceride and apolipoprotein B, and lower HDL cholesterol and apolipoprotein A1. In multivariate logistic regression analyses, weight-adjusted skeletal muscle mass (OR: 0.13, 95% CI: 0.04-0.38, p < 0.001), weight gain from birth to age 12 years (OR: 1.214、95% CI: 1.008-1.463、p = 0.04), and cereal consumption (OR:1.008, 95% CI: 1.000-1.016, p = 0.04) were associated with high-percentage trunk fat independent of birthweight, HOMA-IR, adipose tissue-insulin resistance index (the product of fasting insulin and free fatty acid), triglyceride, HDL cholesterol, apolipoprotein A1 and B, leptin, adiponectin, blood pressure, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein. Early childhood growth, lower skeletal muscle mass, and higher cereal consumption may be associated with normal-weight but high-percentage trunk fat phenotype in Japanese female university students in this subanalysis study. Atherogenic profile of lipids and apolipoproteins may be directly related to abdominal fat accumulation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Adipose insulin-resistant but normal weight phenotype has not been reported and hence was characterized in young Japanese women. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Body composition, a broad range of cardiometabolic health and dietary intake were cross-sectionally measured in 166 normal weight young Japanese women. They were grouped into tertile of adipose tissue-insulin resistance (AT-IR) index (fasting insulin×free fatty acids) and analyzed by analysis of variance and then Bonferroni's multiple comparison procedure. RESULTS Body mass index averaged <21 kg/m2 and waist <72 cm, and did not differ among three groups of women. Fasting glucose and triglycerides and homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance were higher in the highest compared with the median and lowest AT-IR tertile. However, there was no difference in fat mass and distribution, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and blood pressure. In addition, high-sensitivity C reactive protein (hsCRP) and resting pulse rate were higher as well. In multivariate logistic regression analyses, fasting glucose (OR: 1.10, 95% CI: 1.02 to 1.18, p=0.012), fasting triglycerides (OR: 1.04, 95% CI: 1.02 to 1.06, p<0.001), resting pulse rate (OR: 1.07, 95% CI: 1.03 to 1.11, p<0.001) and hsCRP (OR: 2.30, 95% CI: 1.01 to 5.2, p=0.04) were associated with the high AT-IR tertile. CONCLUSIONS Adipose insulin-resistant but normal weight phenotype may be associated with increased sympathetic nervous system and low-grade systemic inflammation in addition to glucose and lipid dysmetabolism through mechanisms unrelated to adiposity in young Japanese women.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) affects males and females disproportionately. In midlife, more males have T2DM than females. The sex difference in T2DM prevalence is, in part, explained by differences in regional adipose tissue characteristics. With obesity, changes to regional adipokine and cytokine release increases the risk of T2DM in both males and females with males having greater levels of TNFα and females having greater levels of leptin, CRP, and adiponectin. Regional immune cell infiltration appears to be pathogenic in both sexes via different routes as males with obesity have greater VAT ATM and a decrease in the protective Treg cells, whereas females have greater SAT ATM and T cells. Lastly, the ability of female adipose tissue to expand all regions through hyperplasia, rather than hypertrophy, protects them against the development of large insulin-resistant adipocytes that dominate male adipose tissue. The objective of this review is to discuss how sex may affect regional differences in adipose tissue characteristics and how these differences may distinguish the development of T2DM in males and females. In doing so, we will show that the origins of T2DM development differ between males and females.

Abstract
Introduction: We studied weight trajectory since birth and dietary intake in Japanese female students majoring in nutrition sciences. Materials and Methods: Birth weight, adolescent height and weight, current body composition by whole-body dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, dietary intake, glucose tolerance, lipid profile, and adipokines were cross-sectionally compared between young underweight (body mass index [BMI] <18.5) and normal-weight (BMI ≥18.5 and <25.0) women with overweight (BMI ≥25.0) women as an internal reference. Results: Serum adiponectin (leptin) was the highest (lowest) in 42 underweight women, intermediate levels in 251 normal-weight women, and the lowest (highest) levels in 14 overweight women. Compared with normal-weight women, underweight women had lower weight at birth, at age 12, 15, and 20 years, but comparable height, and hence lower BMI at three time points. Underweight women had higher gluteofemoral fat adjusted for total body fat and weight-adjusted skeletal muscle mass, although absolute and height-adjusted fat mass and skeletal muscle mass were lower. Glucose tolerance assessed by oral glucose testing, serum triglycerides, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol did not differ between the two groups. Daily intake expressed per kg of body mass of energy and protein was the highest in underweight women, intermediate levels in normal-weight women, and the lowest levels in overweight women. Conclusions: Some young Japanese women are underweight not because of a strong drive for thinness, but because they were born lighter and remained lean until young adults. Underweight was associated with higher gluteofemoral fat adjusted for total body fat and relative skeletal muscle mass.
