Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

AIM: To study physical and chemical structures and properties including calorific value of human adipose tissue in different anatomical location in autopsy-assigned clinical trial. METHODS: A pilot physical and chemical descriptive randomized autopsy-assigned trial. Adipose tissue 252 sampled from 36 individuals at autopsy who between 36 and 63 years old died from road accidents. Interventions: Chemical functional groups and calorific value were studied using infrared and atomic adsorptive spectrometries, elemental chemical analysis and differential scanning calorimetry. Adipose tissue was sampled from the 7 various anatomical locations. RESULTS: The highest levels of the analysed chemical substancies were found in dense atherosclerotic plaque. Dense atherosclerotic plaque contains the most of metabolic products, organic and inorganic elements. Dense atherosclerotic plaque has the most of calorific value. The lowest calorific capacity has a pararenal fat. CONCLUSIONS: Human body lipids serve as a harbor for various organic substances, they may absorb different metabolic products, and they have different calorific capacity depending on their location and forms. Atherosclerotic plaque contains the most of organic and inorganic elements, and brings the highest energy potential.
