A New Function for Perivascular Adipose Tissue (PVAT): Assistance of Arterial Stress Relaxation

In health, PVAT secretes anti-contractile factors that relax the underlying artery. PVAT’s contributions to vascular function include more than production of vasoactive substances. We hypothesized that PVAT benefits the artery by assisting the function of stress (–induced) relaxation. Thoracic aorta...
