Role of Epicardial Adipose Tissue in Health and Disease: A Matter of Fat?
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Comprehensive Physiology"
DOI: 10.1002/cphy.c160034
Abstract: Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is a small but very biologically active ectopic fat depot that surrounds the heart. Given its rapid metabolism, thermogenic capacity, unique transcriptome, secretory profile, and simply measurability, epicardial fat has drawn… read more here.
