Beige fat surrounding blood vessels actively works to keep high blood pressure in check, according to a new Science study in mice. The findings support the notion that therapeutic activation of thermogenic fat tissue could help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. https://scim.ag/4jGVhRe
Ablation of Prdm16 and beige fat identity causes vascular remodeling and elevated blood pressure
Excess adiposity is a major risk factor for hypertension and heart disease. Brown fat is associated with protection from cardiovascular pathology, but whether this relationship is causal remains unkno...
