ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a method for analyzing the amount of intraabdominal adipose tissue comprising:determining the amount of intraabdominal tissue in a test-animal from the concentration of a protein in a body fluid, tissue or cell of said test-animal or in a prepared test solution from the body fluid, tissue or cell of said test-animal, based on the positive relationship between the amount of the intraabdominal adipose tissue in an animal and the concentration of a protein in a body fluid, tissue or cell of said animal or in a prepared solution from the body fluid, tissue or cell of said animal,wherein the protein is (1) encompassed by the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:1 or is (2) recognized by an antibody against a protein encompassed by the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:1.
