Oleic acid and adipokines synergize in inducing proliferation and inflammatory signalling in human vascular smooth muscle cells

In the context of obesity, perivascular fat produces various adipokines and releases free fatty acids, which may induce inflammation and proliferation in the vascular wall. In this study we investigated how adipokines, oleic acid (OA) and the combined treatment regulate human vascular smooth muscle...
