Target intervention against multiple-risk markers to reduce cardiovascular disease in patients with type 2 diabetes.

abstract：:Visceral obesity is associated with metabolic abnormalities that increase the risk of type 2 diabetes and coronary heart disease. Obese patients with a substantial accumulation of visceral adipose tissue are characterized by higher insulinaemic and glycaemic responses during an oral glucose challenge as well as by a d...
