This systematic review focuses on the role of intermuscular adipose tissue (IMAT) in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and the use of imaging techniques to evaluate IMAT in T2DM patients. By reviewing the cell of origin, definition, and relevant imaging technologies, this article provides important insights into controlling T2DM by targeting IMAT.
Intermuscular adipose tissue (IMAT) is an ectopic fat depot found beneath the fascia and within the muscles. IMAT modulates muscle insulin sensitivity and triggers local and systemic chronic low-grade inflammation by producing cytokines and chemokines, which underlie the pathogenesis of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Imaging techniques have been increasingly used to non-invasively quantify IMAT in patients with diabetes in research and healthcare settings. In this study, we systematically reviewed the cell of origin and definition of IMAT, and the use of quantitative and functional imaging technology pertinent to the etiology, risk factors, lifestyle modification, and therapeutic treatment of diabetes. The purpose of this article is to provide important insight into the current understanding of IMAT and future prospects of targeting IMAT for T2DM control.
