Experimental atherosclerosis of the heart valves in rats following a long-term atherogenic regimen.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:The principal aim of this study was to determine whether the amount of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) is more related than subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) to atherosclerosis assessed by whole-body MRA (WBMRA). A further objective was to investigate whether traditional risk factors, inflammation, or adipokine...
