An Atherogenic Diet Disturbs <i>Aquaporin 5</i> Expression in Liver and Adipocyte Tissues of Apolipoprotein E-Deficient Mice: New Insights into an Old Model of Experimental Atherosclerosis

The dysfunction of vascular endothelial cells is profoundly implicated in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease, the global leading cause of death. Aquaporins (AQPs) are membrane channels that facilitate water and glycerol transport across cellular membranes recently implica...
