Impact of obesity control on circulating level of endothelial progenitor cells and angiogenesis in response to ischemic stimulation

Impact of obesity control on circulating level of endothelial progenitor cells and angiogenesis in response to ischemic stimulation

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background and aim</p> <p>We tested the hypothesis that obesity reduced circulating number of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), angiogenic ability, and blood flow in ischemic tissue that could be reversed after obesity control.</p> <p>M...
