Why the study?
Does obesity alter blood flow to adipose tissue and other organs in male Zucker rats?
Does obesity alter blood flow to adipose tissue and other organs in male Zucker rats?
Obesity in Zucker rats is associated with substantially reduced blood flow to adipose tissue per cell surface area, suggesting altered hemodynamics that may contribute to or reflect altered adipose metabolism.

Alerts to potential adipose hypoperfusion in obese models; leaves open translation to human cardiometabolic disease.
