Pericardial Adipose Tissue–Derived Leptin Promotes Myocardial Apoptosis in High‐Fat Diet–Induced Obese Rats Through Janus Kinase 2/Reactive Oxygen Species/Na+/K+‐ATPase Signaling Pathway
Background Pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying cardiac structural and functional changes in obesity are complex and linked to adipocytokines released from pericardial adipose tissue (PAT) and cardiomyocyte apoptosis. Although leptin is involved in various pathological conditions, its role in para...
