Effect of long-term treatment with melatonin on vascular markers of oxidative stress/inflammation and on the anticontractile activity of perivascular fat in aging mice
Some reports have suggested that inflammation in perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) may be implicated in vascular dysfunction by causing the disappearance of an anticontractile effect. The aim of this study wa...
