-
摘要: 动脉粥样硬化(AS)是一个多因素参与的复杂病理过程。血管外周脂肪组织(PVAT)不仅是一种血管支持组织,还有着活跃的分泌功能。PVAT通过分泌各种活性物质“由外而内”地调节着血管的功能,参与了AS的病理过程。Abstract: Atherosclerosis( AS) is a complex pathologic process involving many factors. Perivascular adipose tissue( PVAT) surrounding blood vessels not only provides vascular support but also has an active secretory function. By regulating blood vessel functions “from exterior to interior ”by secreting various bioactive substances,PVAT is involved in the pathological process of AS.
