Abstract excerpt
We tested the hypothesis that high fat (HF) feeding results in endothelial dysfunction in resistance arteries of epididymal white adipose tissue (eWAT) and is mediated by adipose tissue inflammation. When compared with normal chow (NC)-fed mice (n = 17), HF-fed male B6D2F1 mice were glucose intolerant and insulin resistant as assessed by glucose tolerance test (area under the curve; HF, 18,174 ± 1,889 vs. NC,...
