Role of adipocyte angiotensinogen or angiotensin type 1a receptors in the development of diet-induced atherosclerosis or angiotensin II-induced abdominal aortic aneurysms

This study investigates the role of adipocyte angiotensinogen or angiotensin type 1a receptors in diet-induced atherosclerosis and AngII-induced abdominal aortic aneurysms, finding minimal effects on disease outcomes but increased adipocyte size in AT1aR-deficient mice.

The propensity of fructose to induce metabolic dysfunction is dependent on the baseline diet, length of the dietary exposure, and sex of the mice.

This study shows that fructose's impact on metabolism depends on baseline diet, exposure duration, and sex in mice.
