| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Sex differences in pathological conditions and responses to inpatient treatments, mainly exercise and diet therapies, were examined in obese children. Obese male children showed higher visceral fat accumulation and more frequent abnormal transaminase and uric acid levels than females. The female children showed slightly higher insulin resistance than the males. As a result of weight loss due to the inpatient treatments, the reduction rate of visceral fat in the male children was twice as high as that in the females, demonstrating resistance to body fat loss in the females. The improved insulin resistance suggests that the birth weights (fetal conditions) of the female children and the visceral fat accumulation of the male children are involved in insulin resistance.
