Cardio-Lipotoxicity of Epicardial Adipose Tissue [PDF]

open access: yesBiomolecules
Epicardial adipose tissue is a unique visceral adipose tissue depot that plays a crucial role in myocardial metabolism. Epicardial adipose tissue is a major source of energy and free fatty acids for the adjacent myocardium.

Epicardial adipose tissue: an overtly concealed contributor to cardiovascular events in chronic kidney disease patients [PDF]

open access: yesLipids in Health and Disease
Epicardial adipose tissue, a metabolically active visceral fat depot surrounding the heart, is increasingly implicated as a key contributor to cardiovascular disease in patients with chronic kidney disease. This review explores how chronic kidney disease

Do Rats Have Epicardial Adipose Tissue? [PDF]

open access: yesBiomedicines
The most frequently used laboratory animals for studies on adipose tissue properties and obesity are rodents. However, there are significant differences in the types of visceral fat depots between rodents and humans, including fat depots in the heart ...

Role of Epicardial Adipose Tissue in Triggering and Maintaining Atrial Fibrillation

open access: yesCardiovascular Innovations and Applications, 2022
Atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia leading to cardiogenic stroke. Without membranous sructure between epicardial adipose tissue and atrial myocardium, epicardial adipose tissue directly covers the surface of the atrial myocardium.

Epicardial adipose tissue is associated with cardiorespiratory fitness and hemodynamics among Japanese individuals of various ages and of both sexes.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2021
Epicardial adipose tissue may affect hemodynamics and cardiorespiratory fitness as it is a metabolically active visceral adipose tissue and a source of inflammatory bioactive substances that can substantially modulate cardiovascular morphology and ...

Association of Epicardial Adipose Tissue Thickness with Cardiovascular Risk in Acromegaly

open access: yesMedeniyet Medical Journal, 2022
Objective: Acromegaly is a rare disease associated with increased mortality. Reports on coronary artery disease in acromegaly are controversial. This study aimed to investigate the possible association of epicardial adipose tissue thickness with ...

T regulatory lymphocytes and FoxP3 nuclear translocation in various adipose tissue depots in patients with coronary artery disease

open access: yesМедицинская иммунология, 2023
T regulatory lymphocytes (Treg) are present is adipose tissue. Their frequency, as well as the level of FoxP3 nuclear translocation, in epicardial and thymus adipose tissue remains unexplored.

Recent Progress in Epicardial and Pericardial Adipose Tissue Segmentation and Quantification Based on Deep Learning: A Systematic Review

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2022
Epicardial and pericardial adipose tissues (EAT and PAT), which are located around the heart, have been linked to coronary atherosclerosis, cardiomyopathy, coronary artery disease, and other cardiovascular diseases. Additionally, the volume and thickness

Investigating interactions between epicardial adipose tissue and cardiac myocytes: what can we learn from different approaches? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Heart disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality throughout the world. Some cardiovascular conditions can be modulated by lifestyle factors such as increased exercise or a healthier diet, but many require surgical or pharmacological ...

Short-term effects of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists on fat distribution in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: an ultrasonography study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
AIMS:Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) induce weight loss and reduction in adipose tissue, but the effects of GLP-1 RA on the distribution of fat deposits have been poorly investigated. METHODS: In 25 patients with type 2 diabetes (16
