Adeps visceralis · Útrobní tuk
Subcutaneous fat
Looks like
Fat packed around and between the organs inside the belly, not under the skin; it shows as a firm, rounded waist.
What it does
Stores energy and releases fatty acids and hormones straight into the liver's blood supply.
Keeping it well
Excess raises the risk of type 2 diabetes, fatty liver and heart disease more than fat elsewhere; activity and weight loss shrink it first. Waist size tracks it better than weight.
