Adipose tissue (AT) distribution impacts directly on type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease risk, however few studies have investigated the site-specific nature of human epicardial AT compared with gluteo-femoral (thigh) fat. Our recent studies have implicated epicardial AT as an important source of pro-inflammatory cytokines which may impact on myocardial function. Therefore the aim of this study was, using matched paired epicardial AT and gluteo-femoral (thigh) AT from p...
