Differential Role of Adipose Tissues in Obesity and Related Metabolic and Vascular Complications

Figure 3

Contribution of perivascular adipose tissue to obesity and its associated metabolic and vascular complications. Perivascular adipose tissue depending on its location interacts with the endothelium, vascular smooth muscle cells, and immune cells. In the same way, there are certain mediators that would be involved in the vascular disorders associated with obesity, such as hypertension and atherogenesis.
