I found this out when looking for information on metabolic syndrome. SCAT (subcutaneous adipose tissue) is the one that produces estrogen but VAT (visceral adipose tissue) does the opposite. I've also read that SCAT around the midsection of women behaves more like VAT so that doesn't help either.

"VAT obesity in women is associated with elevated levels of total testosterone, free testosterone., and SHBG [92]." link

" High endogenous testosterone is associated with increased breast cancer (BC) risk" link

Ok. And visceral fat is the same thing as brown fat?
