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...

Western blot and immunohistochemical analyses demonstrated increased leptin receptor density in obese hearts. H9c2 cardiomyoblasts, after being exposed to PAT‐conditioned medium of obese rats, exhibited pronounced reactive oxygen species–mediated apoptosis, which was partially reversed by leptin antagonist.
