Increasing plasma free fatty acids in healthy subjects induces aortic distensibility changes seen in obesity.

BACKGROUND: Elevated free fatty acid (FFA) levels are known to impair aortic elastic function. In obesity, FFA levels are elevated and aortic distensibility (AD) reduced in a pattern that predominantly affects the distal aorta. Despite this, the role of FFAs in obesity-related aortic stiffness remai...
