Decrease in circulating plasmacytoid dendritic cells during short-term systemic normobaric hypoxia.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:obesity-related microvascular dysfunction, including alterations in rhythmic changes in vascular diameter, so-called 'vasomotion', may be important in the clustering of obesity with other cardiovascular risk factors. Adipokines have been suggested to play a role in obesity-related vascular dysfunction. Altera...
