H2O2 and NO contribute to Improved Flow‐Induced Dilations in Visceral and Subcutaneous Adipose Arterioles during Aerobic Exercise in Morbidly Obese Adults
Abstract:BACKGROUNDObesity is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Our previous studies demonstrated that microvascular flow‐induced dilation (FID) is reduced in visceral adipose tissue (VAT) compared to subcutaneous AT (SAT) in morbidly obese subjects. Recent studies showed that VAT accumulation is more predictive of impaired vascular function than SAT. In the current study, we examine the differential effect of aerobic exercise (AE) training on improving the FID in SAT versus VAT microvessels in morbid obe… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
