Role of Perivascular Adipose Tissue and Exercise on Arterial Function with Obesity

Adipose tissue and arterial dysfunction are common in the obese state. Perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) plays an important role in mediating arterial health, and with obesity, the PVAT dysfunction negatively affects arterial health. Exercise training exerts direct and beneficial effects on PVAT, providing an additional and novel pathway by which exercise can improve arterial health in diseased populations.

Automated summary

Obesity is often accompanied by dysfunction of adipose tissue and arteries. Perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) plays a crucial role in regulating arterial health, and exercise training has been shown to positively impact PVAT, thereby improving arterial health in diseased populations.
