Why the study?
The study investigated sex-dependent effects of inflammatory responses in visceral and perivascular adipose tissue, alongside hematological status, in relation to cardiovascular disorders associated with prediabetes.
Population
Male and female hereditary hypertriglyceridemic (HHTg) rats
Comparison
Male vs female HHTg rats
Design
Animal model study
Key result
Female prediabetic rats exhibited more pronounced dyslipidemia and procoagulation but a milder inflammatory response compared to males, potentially reflecting reduced cardiovascular damage.

Sex differences in prediabetic adipose inflammation may shape cardiovascular risk; leaves open translation to humans.
Marková et al. (2024) studied Prediabetes and severe dyslipidemia. Female sex vs. Male sex was evaluated on Inflammatory responses in VAT and PVAT, and hematological status. Female prediabetic rats exhibited more pronounced dyslipidemia and procoagulation but a milder inflammatory response compared to males, potentially reflecting reduced cardiovascular damage.
