Description
The progression of chronic pressure overload (CPO) is associated to cardiac cachexia as a consequence of insufficient energy supply.
Additionally, some studies demonstrate that the heart secretes cardiokines able to modulate the adipose tissue (AT) structure and function promoting adiposopathy.
In this study we investigate the effects of CPO in AT during the early stages of the disease.
