Why the study?
Does being overweight and postmenopausal affect adipose tissue blood flow and its link to endothelial dysfunction and autonomic nervous system balance in healthy women?
Population

Overweight postmenopausal women show reduced ATBF linked to endothelial markers; cross-sectional data leave open causality and need prospective validation.
Does being overweight and postmenopausal affect adipose tissue blood flow and its link to endothelial dysfunction and autonomic nervous system balance in healthy women?
Overweight postmenopausal women exhibit a loss of adipose tissue blood flow flexibility, which correlates with markers of endothelial dysfunction and sympathetic-parasympathetic imbalance.
Andersson et al. (2010) studied this question.
