Myocardial, Perivascular, and Epicardial Fat
Myocardial fat content refers to the storage of triglyceride droplets within cardiomyocytes. In addition, the heart and arteries are surrounded by layers of adipose tissue, exerting vasocrine and paracrine control of the subtending tissues. The rapid development of the field of noninvasive imaging has made it possible to quantify ectopic fat masses and contents with an increasing degree of accu...
متن کاملEpicardial fat thickness and cardiovascular involvements.
Dear Editor, We have read the article ” Epicardial fat thickness(EFT) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis” written by Erdem et al. with a great interest.1 The authors aimed to explain the relationship between epicardial fat thickness and clinical and echocardiographic parameters in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. They concluded that EFT as an indicator of cardiovascular involvement was hi...
متن کاملEpicardial Fat and Atrial Fibrillation: A Review.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a progressive disorder that increases with age. Obesity is an important risk factor for AF. Pericardial fat is an active adipose tissue in close proximity to the heart and has been shown to be a risk factor for structural as well as coronary artery disease independent of body mass index. Recent studies suggest a role of epicardial fat in atrial remodeling as well as ...
متن کاملEpicardial Fat: Physiological, Pathological, and Therapeutic Implications
Epicardial fat is closely related to blood supply vessels, both anatomically and functionally, which is why any change in this adipose tissue's behavior is considered a potential risk factor for cardiovascular disease development. When proinflammatory adipokines are released from the epicardial fat, this can lead to a decrease in insulin sensitivity, low adiponectin production, and an increased...
متن کاملActivated Type 2 Innate Lymphoid Cells Regulate Beige Fat Biogenesis
Type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s), an innate source of the type 2 cytokines interleukin (IL)-5 and -13, participate in the maintenance of tissue homeostasis. Although type 2 immunity is critically important for mediating metabolic adaptations to environmental cold, the functions of ILC2s in beige or brown fat development are poorly defined. We report here that activation of ILC2s by IL-33 is...
