Abstract excerpt
Perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) exerts anticontractile effect, but under non-physiological conditions it may contribute to vascular dysfunction by releasing pro-inflammatory cytokines. Since PVAT is an important source of interleukin (IL)-6, we evaluated whether this cytokine would contribute to ethanol-induced vascular dysfunction. With this purpose, male C57BL/6 wild-type (WT) or IL-6-deficient mice...
