Macrophages phagocytize pathogens to initiate innate immunity and products from the
tumor microenvironment (TME) to mediate tumor immunity. The loss of tumor-associated …

Adiponectin (a protein consisting of 244 amino acids and characterized by a molecular
weight of 28 kDa) is a cytokine that is secreted from adipose tissues (adipokine). Available …

Real-time monitoring of vessel dysfunction is of great significance in preclinical research.
Optical bioimaging in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) window provides advantages …

Obesity is causally linked with the development of cardiovascular disorders. Accumulating
evidence indicates that cardiovascular disease is the collateral damage of obesity-driven …

Obesity is increasingly prevalent and is associated with substantial cardiovascular risk.
Adipose tissue distribution and morphology play a key role in determining the degree of …

The decrease in adiponectin levels are negatively correlated with chronic subclinical
inflammation markers in obesity. The hypertrophic adipocytes cause obesity-linked insulin …

Metabolic cardiovascular diseases have become a global health concern, and some of their
risk factors are linked to several metabolic disorders. They are the leading causes of death …

Obesity is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. C1q/tumor necrosis factor-related protein
9 (CTRP9) is an adipokine that is downregulated by obesity. We investigated the role of …

Cardiac remodeling is the process by which the heart adapts to stressful stimuli, such as
hypertension and ischemia/reperfusion; it ultimately leads to heart failure upon long-term …

Context: Fetuses exposed to an obese intrauterine environment are more likely to be born
