Popis: Although genetic and behavioral factors influence regional distribution of fat on the body, sex hormones and sexual dimorphism appear to have significant roles1. This pilot project was initiated to assess body composition and the relative amounts of subcutaneous and intraabdominal fat that might be present in subjects on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and to compare the fat areas on computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance images (MRI).
