Abstract: BACKGROUND Many researchers have attempted to induce lymphangiogenesis for the treatment of lymphedema. However, most previous studies had limited clinical usefulness. A high-fat diet (HFD) increases serum β-hydroxybutyrate (β-OHB) levels, which can stimulate lymphangiogenesis. The… read more here.
