Inflammatory Gene Expression of Human Perivascular Adipose Tissue in Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms

ObjectivePerivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) contributes to vascular homeostasis and is increasingly linked to vascular pathology. PVAT density and volume were associated with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) presence and dimensions on imaging. However, mechanisms underlying the role of PVAT in AAA have not been clarified. This study aimed to explore differences in PVAT from AAA using gene expression and functional tests.MethodsHuman aortic PVAT...
