There is a close anatomical and functional relationship between adipose tissue and blood vessels. The crosstalk between these two organs is vital to both metabolic and vascular homeostasis.

Adipose tissue (AT) is composed of multiple cells, including adipocytes, immune cells (e.g., macrophages, T cells, and neutrophils), fibroblasts, and endothelial cells (ECs; building blocks …

Apr 1, 2021 · Perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) is a specialized local deposit of adipose tissue surrounding blood vessels that also provides mechanical protection and regulation of blood …

Blood vessels remove metabolites and wastes in adipose tissues. The vasculature controls global metabolism by transporting adipose-derived hormones, growth factors, and other signaling …

Jan 4, 2013 · The perturbed crosstalk between adipose tissue and blood vessels appears to play a key role in the pathogenesis of obesity and its related metabolic and cardiovascular …

Sep 25, 2023 · Adipose tissue endothelial cells modulate adipose tissue blood flow (ATBF) to facilitate lipid disposition. Moreover, endothelial cells communicate with adipocytes through the …

In growing adipose tissue, the new blood vessels contribute to adipogenesis by performing multiple functions such as: provide nutrients and oxygen to nourish adipocytes, removing …

Mar 19, 2020 · Perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) is a unique adipose tissue and is involved in all the aspects of vascular physiology and pathophysiology. Existence of PVAT is critical to …

Feb 2, 2019 · Therefore, developing an easy and efficient method to document the dynamic changes in adipose tissue is necessary. Here, we describe a modified immunofluorescent …

Dec 5, 2021 · Healthy, hyperplastic expansion of adipose tissue requires coordinated vessel growth and increased secretion of pro-angiogenic factors such as VEGFs, fibroblast growth …
