Adipocytes do not significantly contribute to plasma angiotensinogen
Recently, it has been reported that 25% of plasma angiotensinogen (Agt) is derived from fat. Meanwhile, liver-specific Agt knockout (KO) mice have markedly low plasma Agt, which may be due to reduced fat mass. To study the contribution of the fat to plasma Agt, we tested whether increasing fat mass...
