Comparative Expression of Renin-Angiotensin Pathway Proteins in Visceral Versus Subcutaneous Fat

Comparative Expression of Renin-Angiotensin Pathway Proteins in Visceral Versus Subcutaneous Fat

Body fat distribution contributes to obesity-related metabolic and cardiovascular disorders. Visceral fat is more detrimental than subcutaneous fat. However, the mechanisms underlying visceral fat-mediated cardiometabolic dysregulation are not completely understood. Localized increases in expression...
