Effects of hyperglycemia on the modulation of vascular function by perivascular adipose tissue
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To study the acute and chronic effect of hyperglycemia on perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) function in rat aorta.
METHOD: Alterations in PVAT function in rat aorta incubated with 22 mmol/l D-glucose for 30 min and in aorta from streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats were studied.
