Long-term consumption of Western diet contributes to endothelial dysfunction and aortic remodeling in rats: Implication of Rho-kinase signaling

Long-term consumption of Western diet contributes to endothelial dysfunction and aortic remodeling in rats: Implication of Rho-kinase signaling

Western diet (WD), rich in saturated fat and sugars, has become a risk factor for obesity and metabolic syndrome, however, its effect on endothelial function and vascular remodeling is not fully elucidated. Recent evidence suggests cross-talk between Rho kinase (ROCK) pathway and cardiovascular syst...
