WNT signalling comprises a diverse spectrum of receptor-mediated pathways activated by a
large family of WNT ligands and influencing fundamental biological processes. WNT …

Accumulating knowledge on the biology and function of the adipose tissue has led to a
major shift in our understanding of its role in health and disease. The adipose tissue is now …

The occurrence of obesity has increased across the whole world. Many epidemiological
studies have indicated that obesity strongly contributes to the development of cancer …

Adipose tissue (AT) is no longer viewed as a passive, energy-storing depot, and a growing
body of evidence supports the concept that both quantitative and qualitative aspects of AT …

Background It is unknown whether canagliflozin, a selective sodium glucose co-transporter
2 inhibitor, reduces epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) thickness, which is associated with …

Objective: Perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) plays a vital role in maintaining vascular
homeostasis. However, most studies ascribed the function of PVAT in vascular remodeling …

Obesity is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, clinical research has
revealed a paradoxically protective role for obesity in patients with chronic diseases …

Morphological and physiological changes in the vasculature have been described in the
evolution and maintenance of hypertension. Hypertension-induced vascular dysfunction …

BACKGROUND. Pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT) attenuation and the fat attenuation
index (FAI) may serve as markers of inflammation and the risk of adverse cardiac events …

Perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT), a crucial regulator of vascular homeostasis, is actively
involved in vascular dysfunction during aging. PVAT releases various adipocytokines …
