The research aims to identify how a specific protein in perivascular fat cells influences blood pressure regulation.
Experimental study using mice models
Assessment of protein levels in perivascular fat
Measurement of hypertension effects
Mice with higher protein levels showed reduced hypertension
The protective effect was linked to the presence of perivascular fat cells
