Differences in Extracellular Vesicles From Adipose Tissue of Individuals With Obesity.
Recruiting now
Conditions studied: Obesity
In brief
Our society is characterized by a strong increase in the prevalence of obesity, which often causes the development of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes. The way(s) obesity is responsible for these diseases, is still insufficiently understood. This study therefore examines the content of human fat tissue storage location- and cell type-specific extracellular vesicles (EVs) in lean and obese individuals, and the possible connection with sex, insulin sensitivity, and the blood-brain barrier.
