Perivascular adipose tissue and adipocyte-derived exosomal miRNAs maintain vascular homeostasis

Perivascular adipose tissue and adipocyte-derived exosomal miRNAs maintain vascular homeostasis

Perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT), a fat layer that provides structural support to the blood vessels, is a cushion protecting the vessel wall from neighbouring tissues during contraction and relaxation. PVAT actively regulates vascular tone by secreting vasoactive (vasodilatory and vasoconstrictive...
