PVAT modulation warrants targeted investigation; leaves open therapeutic translation in atherosclerosis and hypertension.
This review highlights the dual role of perivascular adipose tissue in vascular health and disease, acting both as a pro-inflammatory driver in atherosclerosis and possessing antiatherosclerotic metabolic properties.
Brown et al. (2014) conducted a review in Vascular disease, hypertension, and atherosclerosis. Perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) biology was evaluated. Perivascular adipose tissue is an active component of the vasculature that secretes biologically active substances and plays integral roles in vascular inflammation, atherosclerosis, and hypertension.
