Sex dimorphism in the distribution of adipose tissue and its influence on proinflammatory adipokines and cardiometabolic profiles in motor complete spinal cord injury.

The findings of this study highlight the need for further research with dietary modification and exercise to decrease health risks. PMID: 29465306 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
