Perivascular Adipose Adiponectin Correlates With Symptom Status of Patients Undergoing Carotid Endarterectomy [Brief Reports]

Conclusions— Symptomatic and asymptomatic carotid endarterectomy patients display a tissue-specific difference in perivascular adipose adiponectin. This difference, which was not seen in plasma or subcutaneous compartments, supports a potential local paracrine relationship with vascular disease processes that may be related to stroke mechanisms.
