Cardio-Lipotoxicity of Epicardial Adipose Tissue [PDF]
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]
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]
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
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.

Association of Epicardial Adipose Tissue Thickness with Cardiovascular Risk in Acromegaly
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 ...

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