IJERPH, Vol. 17, Pages 3968: Midregional Proadrenomedullin Can Reflect the Accumulation of Visceral Adipose Tissue —A Key to Explaining the Obesity Paradox

Conclusion: This study suggests that plasma MR-proADM concentration is a more reliable indicator of VAT for fat distribution, and thus, MR-proADM may help better understand the obesity paradox. Changes in circulating levels of MR-proADM could possibly reflect changes in body composition, endocrine, and metabolic milieu.
