Thiazolidinediones may cause slight weight gain but decrease "pathologic" abdominal fat (visceral fat), and therefore may be prescribed for diabetics with central obesity.

Females lost an average of 9.6% of their weight, while males lost about 7.2% of body weight. Heart failure benefits were found to be similar in males and females, with both groups improving by an ...
Substantial weight loss can reduce ectopic fat stores in all organs and this is associated with an improvement of the function of those organs. [46] In the latter case, non-invasive weight loss interventions like diet or exercise can decrease ectopic fat (particularly in heart and liver) in overweight or obese children and adults. [47] [48]
