Anticontractile effect of perivascular adipose tissue and leptin are reduced in hypertension
Leptin causes vasodilatation both by endothelium-dependent and -independent mechanisms. Leptin is synthetized by perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT). The hypothesis of this study is that a decrease of leptin production in PVAT of spontaneously rats (SHR) might contribute to a diminished paracrine ant...
