<P> Ectopic fat is the storage of triglycerides in tissues other than adipose tissue , that are supposed to contain only small amounts of fat , such as the liver , skeletal muscle , heart , and pancreas . This can interfere with cellular functions and hence organ function and is associated with insulin resistance in type - 2 diabetes . It is stored in relatively high amounts around the organs of the abdominal cavity , but is not to be confused as visceral fat . </P>
